Hey everyone I havent been on the forums for probebly a month since where I was the internet providor blocked this site,.. anyways Iam looking for my summer mod which would be a short shifter kit, Iam not sure exactly how this would be installed or what brand to look for, I do have a budget of 150-200 dollars which I could push if the alternative for a bit higher price is of much better quality, if anyone can give me any information/reviews/opinions it would be great
edit: Do I need to change anything else as well, such as clutch, oil and anything else.
thanks

Edit: the price is in US$ so by the time its shipped to your place and all its going to be around 200$ cdn. and they are shipped from quebec so no customs fees also

i have the TWM short shifter as well, and i love it.
i changed out my tranny fluid to synthetic redline MT-90 ages ago, but its not a neccessity.
the new shifter took a bit to get used to, but i love it now. and if feels pretty close to stock, only shorter throws. highly recommended :)

I would say the price of the TWM is definitely worth it but if you wait they tend to do promos which could save you a few bucks.
