It is noticeably shorter than other brands. We made it as short as possible while retaining the reverse lock.
In addition, we found that 5th gear on other brands was vague (when you push all the way to the right and up it wouldn't go right in to 5th) so we designed ours to correct this. The TWM reverse lock also slides on delrin bushings for a very smooth feel. Also, the other short shifter's reverse lock "guide" is a steel spring pin that grinds on the reverse lock when you lift it, the TWM features a cylindrically ground shoulder bolt with o-rings for quiet and smooth operation.
Overall we feel that we designed a superior short shifter, without cutting corners.
Thank you for the positive feedback

Just installed mine, and let me say this is badass and shifts like butter. Installation was easy as I was a first timer and the pics and detail were perfect. took a little longer for me cuz my ******* re-installed the shift boot above the reverse lock like a moron, so i had to redo (thanks for the extra zip tie by the way).
Other than that the only thing i noticed was the allen bolt for the reverse lock calls for a 5/32 to tighten and mine was 1/8. Not sure if this was a typo or my bolt was smaller but it was easy to recognize.
All in all a fine product and I highly recommend this to anyone considering, this is well worth it!!! TWM FTW!!

The aluminum base bushings replace the stock rubber bushings that are used to mount the shift assembly to the floor of the car. These rubber bushings flex a lot when shifting and they are part of the vague, unprecise feeling of the stock shifter. The solid aluminum base bushings will eliminate this unwanted play and they also improve the precision of the shifts.
