370z short shifter

Minicobra1 · 05-31-2009, 02:18 PM

I bought a TWM weighted shift knob from Canada, it's made a huge difference in shifting quality. This thing weighs 1.32 pounds!

and is a bit shorter then the stock set up. I was running the Nismo one previously, which IMO is way too light, I use to mis-shift 1st to 2nd b/c of the effort it took to move it. Now I have no problems. I will upgrade to a short throw shifter later on, but I'm pretty satisfied for now. This would be a great edition to a short throw shifter.The model I got was the Desert Eagle & the color Is gun blue finish, which is actually more of a satin black.

I'm interested in one of these weighted shift knobs.

Damn, wish they had some that were leather wrapped.

I see you also had issues removing the stock knob. That thing is on way too tight.

Yes, after many attempts with a 1/2 cut radiator hose and vise grips, I said screw it and put it right on the knob.

I'm going to be the first member here to get it off with my bare hands.

Sounds inappropriate, but I'm serious.

Please post a video when you do/attempt to do this.

No video. I will likely embarrass myself.

Holy craap! The TWM unit is $100? for a 9 oz piece of steel?

The weighted Greddy unit in black chrome with 3 different colored shift gates inserts is like $42.

I like the TWM piston design, but the price is wrong.
