or you could get a 60% reductin using TWM (cough i have a TWM gb goin on) compared to TRD's messily 40% reduction.....20% less shift than TRD if you chose TWM
TWM=60% trd=40% |

the twm one is super short. so its better then the trd one if thats what you are looking for.
the trd one is great, but a bit longer and probably the correct hight a short shifter should be on our cars. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

the length of the shofter dosent matter, id where the actuall ball shifting thing(dunno term) is, usually the best would be for it to have a short shift, but still be stock length...the longer the shifter, the closer it is to your hands, faster u can reach it

Yeah you are right pali I haven't seen the TWM assembly but the actual shift assembly design is important as well as stick length.

I have the TRD and have been underwhelmed. The location of the gears is a little more solid but the throws are only marginally shorter IMO. If I had to do it over, I am not sure I would do this mod.

has anyone put a TWM shaft in a TRD assembly...i wonder if that would do anything more than the TWM shaft in the stock assembly...
also, i LOVE my TRD...it's the perfect height, perfect throw, etc. i, however, have had no experiences w/ the TWM, but after what this thread says, i would like to try one... -John- -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes
