I was talking to these guys and they said that they are intrested to run a group buy on there short shifters for our car.

There was a group buy on here before for these shiftes and people are happy with the performance of there shifters here is the info from the site about the shifter


TWM Toyota short shifter kits are CNC machined from high strength steel to aircraft industry tolerences. TWM has altered the pivot point of the shifter, resulting in a throw reduced by up to 60%. Shifter is nickel plated for super low friction and corrosion resistance. All mounting hardware included, and the shifter is threaded to accept the original shiftknob.

here is a pic of a member with the shifter

the price for these are $154.95

If we get 10 people it will be
126 shipped

if we get 15 or more people it will be 120 shipped.

This will end on July 15th or when we have atleast 10 people. Since this is the date he told me the order needs to be in by.

Payment can be by paypal or money order but if using paypal there will be a 3%charge for paypal fees

Any question contact me at kavin718@aol.com

not to bust your bubble, but I tried a TWM SS on another member's car and it felt similar (actually not better) than mine. I have a 7th gen SS. That member (I don't want to say names) said he is probbaly gonna get the 7th gen and sell the TWM one.

Details here about my shifter

the TWM SS for 94-99 Celicas

and the 7th gen

they look very similar and the price is not (about $45 for the 7th gen)

you be the judge...

TWM is better then TRD

i've covered this many a times

TRD is only 40% reduction and cost a good deal more

TWM is 60% reduction and much cheaper
