Don't know how many people have them on the 2.4s, but look at the reviews from people who have it on the 2.2s. It's the exact same shifter/tranny on both models.

I love mine. Definately made a difference, my 4th is now where N basically was. Only bad thing I can think of is with the stock knob you get with the TWM, it is very cold to touch in the winter, and gets very warm in the summer. Almost burns your hand at first.

I just put mine on 2 weeks ago and I love it!

I got the short throw with the A6 Leopard knob. It's 1 pound of steel! I love the feel and the shorter throw. WAY beter than the stock knob and shifter.

The installation was kinda fun and not too complicated. I broke a few plastic tabs for panels and the shift boot, but oh well. Just be careful.

Buy it. You won't regret it!

If you get them with the short throw, they are $50 more. That is what I did.

The 5-speed 2.2L and 2.4L SS models both use the F23 Getrag. The 2.0L SS Supercharged model uses a newer F35 Getrag.

I means that if you have the SS/SC with the reverse lockout, it will not fit.

That is what I have heard. Unless B&M has one without a reverse lockout.

B&M does not have a shifter that fits our car. TWM is the only one that does and it is due to the reverse lock-out.
