I woudl say get b&m, its not as short but easier to shift You are going to hear both sides btu it really has to do with what you want. Bm is nto as short as other but is easier to shift. twm is really short so looks better but is a tad harder. So its up to you

Maybe im just thinkin too much about it... B&M it is. Thanks guys cant say ive done that before... ahh crap

I hear they give the smooth stock feel and isn't as short as the TWM. I think 40% shorter than stock.

Go to google and type in "megan racing short shifter". It's EXACTLY like B&M with aluminum bushings included. You only need to buy lithium grease yourself but that's like 3bucks.

The bushings actually make a huge difference in shift feel and remove virtually all of the "play" from the shifter.
