Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance i dont know which short shifter to get

i want to get a ss for x-mas but im trying to decide which one to get. either twm or b&m. please help me decide for the people that have them.

B&M

if you want looks TWM is the shortest... if you want short throw B&M. As far as stiffness goes, ofcourse TWM if more stiffer than B&M. I have B&M and I'm happy with you. Pic is on profile if you wanna see.

you wont regret twm man

TWN times infinity

i have my second now TWM i wudd have gone B&M

B&M for performance and best short shifting, TWM for looks, i have B&M, best SS ever!

B&M bro you can't go wrong

stick with the stock one... unless you really care about the looks.

B&M has a shorter throw than stock
all the others just give you a shorter rod.

honestly, my oppinion is that short shifter make it harder to shift accurately...

lots of people that actually race their cars done use a SS because its easier to mis shift.

it does, especially TWM
that's why B&M is the best one.

what do you mean by twm is stiffer?

its more direct wont wiggle around at all

. off topic but this typo made me laugh.

twm is good if you, actually i dont know why i have it...It looks good. If you only want expirenced manual drivers to drive your car. Not your girlfriend, or your dd. Its hard to change gears, I wouldnt say misshift, but it takes so much force to move it, that its almost hard to drive at first. The fulcrum is moved to a different center, which makes it harder to move. By the way, reverse in a GTS is almost impossibe with twm. But if you want the shortest looking shifter there is

lol ... let me rephrase that... I have B&M and I'm happy with IT... happy now?

yeah twm does make it feel very firm i wouldnt say soo much more though i like it it clicks into gear nicely and i dont have any problem moving it with just my right hand... im also left handed

which one is cheaper and doesnt one come with a knob or something?

i'd say B&M--i've driven my bf's gts and it's not that hard to switch gears. and you can always cut the rod down of the B&M if you want it to look shorter and still get the shorter throws

get the best one for the money

i like my trd is not hard to shift at all

^^^ Yes but TRD is only applicable with the 2000-2001 models before the factory upgrade. I bought one and didnt even know I had the factory upgrade. The only thing that was wrong with it was that it wouldnt go into reverse... but it was very smooth shifting other than that!
