Install:
Fairly easy. Took no brainwork or critcial thinking. Me and my roommate installed it in about an hour...including goofing around. Hardest part about the install was trying to get the push nut off, just gotta work with it a little bit.

Review:
I absolutely love it. Definitely one of my favorite mods. The shifting is precise, stiffer and much shorter. I went B&M because I thought that the TWM (60% shorter) would be uncomfortable for daily driving. Plus it comes with a new shiftknob. Had it in for about 2 weeks now, and notice major a difference when shifting fast/racing.

I believe that is where I ordered mine from. Shipping was about a week or 2 longer than they said. I would believe that they are backordered, because I was always checking up on the shipping, and it just took a little bit longer than usual to ship out...make sense?

I had ordered the same shifter from that group buy on the other site for $45 shipped. It's stiff and I love it for that alone. The shorter throws don't seem to realy play into my driving style. I could shift just as easy and fast with stock. On my stock shifter it had the same mechanical feeling as this SS, but not as precise or stiff. I can shift into gear at rest quicker/shorter than stock, but driving it's not much different (you should all understand why). The added stiffness is definitely well worth the purchase other than the shorter shaft for some and the more precise feeling.

I have not gotten around to install my TWM SS. My Sixth Gear, what are the major differences between the two and why do you like the TWM SS more?
