Personally I find the shifts more solid, less notchy, if that makes sense. I find the shift feel to be an improvement over stock.

It's one of the easier part installs, the two had parts are getting the stock shift knob off, and getting that rubber dust boot seated again. Everything else is easy peasy.

Excellent write-up, thank you!
The TWM costs about 350,- Euro here in Germany, which equates ca. 455,- US dollar, so it's a no-no because of that.
Hmm, you don't want to send me one as a christmas gift?

Your right, it is pricey. I waited and bought it on sale otherwise it would have been a no-go for me too. Having said that, it is one of the nicer short shifters you can buy for the 370z. Quality is excellent, fit is perfect.

Maybe if I win the lottery I'll buy a short shifter for you.
