TWM Short Throw Shifter

I searched and haven't seen this brought up before. It looks like TWM has released their short throw shifter. Wondering if anyone has bought this or used it yet? I had one in my Mazda 3 before and loved it.

Looks nice. Really expensive. I do like that you don't have to cut anything for the install. I'll take a look at what kartboy puts out before I make my choice. Their unit is in production now and should be released soon.

I wish MGW would design a shifter for this car, but the TWM looks nice.

Anyone have any solid reviews on this yet? Is this made of metal? it looks awesome but i'm worried about it burning the hell out of my hand when pulling up for reverse. Curious about the bushing options as well

did you use their bushings? does the metal get unbearably hot/cold?

I had a TWM shortshifter/bushing/knob combo on my lancer, galant vr4 and 87 celica alltrac. i got it for the altrac since it was the only one i could find for it and that car had a truck shifter on it lol. iv loved them ever since and continue to go with them with all my cars. plan on getting it for my frs. the knobs do get hot though. not sure if that counts as a review though.
