Just got my SS and M1 abrams shift knob today! That was pretty quick shipping.. I'm glad it came today cause UPS said it would have come tomorrow. My car is in the shop, but I can't wait to put it on!! I'll take more pics when I get it on as well, but here are the pics I have so far..
Super nice packing too, you get what you pay for.

Hot! Just SS?

[hoanger]

yeah, I tried two Si's with both the cable and base bushings with the SS and just the SS.. it felt more solid, but not TOO big of a difference. I decided on the SS only for now.. I bet I'll end up getting it later on anyway... haha

[0720Steve]

is that the mirror? get it installed and get pics up asap.

[Izzy]

Looks satin.

[hoanger]

I wish I could install it now.. car is in the shop till Tuesday, but I'll have pics by then

I just ordered my ss, base, and cable bushings today, and i just found out that you guys are based in canada. I have a question regarding shipping. I just sent you a PM

Thank you TWM for the excellent service. I was very impressed with the secure way you packaged the products. The ss + cable&base bushings arrived a day ahead of schedule, but I just got a chance to install everything today. I really love the ss and the base bushings... I'm still up in the air about the cable bushings. I think the small(cable) bushing tightens up the "tension" of the shift lever which I really like. My issue is with the big(cable) bushing. This cable bushing tightens up the shift throw action, correct? I'm not sure I like the added effort it takes to shift. I'm going to leave it(bigcablebushing) on for a week or two to see if it "breaks-in" or if I come to like the added effort. If not, I will swap it out back to the big stock bushing and leave everything else. Overall, I like the mod(s). Everything went on very easily, and the instructions were VERY good. TWM your service and quality is top notch! Thanks again.

Hi Soichiro Jr.,

Thank you for your feedback. The cable bushings shouldn't increase shift effort, they should only make the shifting action feel more direct with less vagueness. If you find the big bushing is increasing shift effort, the fit between the cable "eye" that goes around it or the pin that it slides on to may be a little too tight due to corrosion or debris.

You could remove the bushing and clean out the inside of the cable "eye" and the pin with the sandpaper provided. Before doing this, try spraying a bit of penetrating lubricant on the pin and outer edge of the bushings and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Kevin

my full ss kit just arrived... all i gotta say is

holy sh!t at the packaging!!! lmao!! i dont think i ever received stuff so well packaged and organized together. THANKS!

i just hope installing it is a breeze, once i got time that is

[Adlh29]

I covered my cable bushings with lots of grease when i installed them. Really makes things feel a lot smoother. Feels so much better that OEM.

[0720Steve]

is it too stiff though? my buddy put corposrt ones on his rsx and it was crazy stiff......really mechanical feeling or something.....i didn't like it.
