New short throw shifter for the 370!

NewYorkJon34 · 06-01-2010, 02:59 PM

Idk if it was the picture but it really does look like the shift knob height is lowered alot. You should put a review of it up, any difficulty putting it into 6th/reverse, etc...? I had a TWM short shifter kit for my 07 Civic SI and it did improve, but for the SI it was just a tiny piece that was switched out. Not sure whats involved with the 370Z. Would you rate the TWM over the AMS short shifter?

Jon,

I ran over 600km on since last Wednesday. So far i didn't notice change in the SS behaviour while shifting (whatever the RPM range). As far as the lowering, as said before it's about 0,25' below stock. I will try to get some pics of a new nob this week-end.

For any comparison from TWN vs AMS, i cannot state since, i never tried the AMS on my car...

As for the reverse or 6th gear engagement, no issues at all. However, i must say that it took me a couple of days to get use to the SS "mechanical feel" when shifting (had the same learning curve on my previous SS install...).

Here's a pic of the throw improvement (3rd to 4th gear).

Anyone else pick this up yet? Would you also happen to have any comments on the TWM shift knob? Thinking of getting their M1 Abrams at the same time.
