Ok so I've had my SS on for a week now and I love it! The ppl at TWM are great and provide great service and the product is of great quality! I only have the SS installed and the throws are much shorter and somewhat more precise. I am sure that getting all the bushings would have made shifting more pleasant but the SS alone did not disappoint.

Was getting lowering springs installed today so i was driving my bro's ex sedan (same as mine, but bone stock) and as soon as i got in and put it into gear it made me laugh. The throws are SO long and SO imprecise it really took me by surprise. I would never go back to stock, and driving stock shifter + stock knob vs countersunk weighted knob + SS back to back really makes me realize how good this mod has been.

Shifting with SS and knob is a little bit "heavier" and "notchier", but IMO it makes you feel much more connected to the car as you get a better feel to the whole thing! Installing it was also a piece of cake, with the provided instructions it took me seriously about 10 minutes!

Thanks again TWM for great service and product, feel free if you guys have any questions!

Thanks!

It's true that it's surprising when you go back to a stock shifter after driving with the short shifter adapter, you realize how big a difference it makes!

Wow I didnt know you guys had a student discount.
I am going to order the whole set. SS, base, cable bushings ASAP

***07LX*** · 09-25-2008, 11:32 PM

Gonna be buying another one for my mom's boyfriend when I head out there in March. He just got a 08 RBP FA1 on my advice and he loves it.

Hey Simon,

I ordered the SS kit with bushings on monday and got it today and installed it today. Works as advertised. For you guys that don't have a vise, I used a C clamp.

If you don't have a vice, you can use a risky but effective method: a rubber coated hammer. Simply grease the SS, then put the cup on a table, carefully place the SS on top of the cup, make sure everything is aligned perfectly then give the SS a swift little hit with the rubber coated hammer and it should do the trick!

That's what i did and it went down perfectly, you really don't need a great amount of force just a nice little hit.

jcusmarine · 09-29-2008, 09:53 PM

So...got the full kit for my 07 FA5!

Outstanding customer service from Frank.

Install was straight forward with decent instructions.

The M1 Abrams shift knob is oustanding. I got the engraved satin finish, and it looks great. All the other finishes look great also, so its personal preference.

Anyway, the most important part - the car drives even better. No vibration, shorter more precise shifting - freakin' outsanding! Love it.

If you are considering - you need to go ahead and order....I sat on the fence too long and what helped me was the M1 Abrams engraved group buy. I am so glad I got it.

A+ for TWM.....

***TWM Performance*** · 09-30-2008, 03:38 PM

Thank you guys!

jcusmarine, the engraved M1 Abrams satin looks very nice with the center console!

just got and installed my SS and all the bushings took about an hour to do. and it feels great. little bummed about slow shipping (about a week and a half ) but i guess thats that happens when you ship from the North east to the south west. and i had mixed feelings about the international transaction fee from my bank

but it was worth it.

maxrf · 10-13-2008, 07:39 PM

I just go home from Afghanistan 2 days ago and got around to putting the short shifter and Knob on today. It is amazing, much better/shorter shifts and the M1 knob looks pretty sweet and has an amazing feel.

Awesome service and superb instructions as well!

Phillycivicsi · 10-13-2008, 11:59 PM

hey do you guys have quick shifter kits like the one that comes stock on the mugen
(not a short throw shift kit, already have that from twm)

The Mugen shift assembly is basically a stock Civic shift assembly with a longer pivot arm, so it's about the same as the Civic assembly with a short shifter adapter. We do not have a product like that available, we consider it would be too expensive to justify because the adapter achieves the same result.
