He added a period after htm so remove that and the link will work.
Feedback would be cool I haven't installed my short shifter yet so I could do both at the same time. They're only 30 bucks.
I'll end up getting them if the feedback is postive, is upgrading the bushing in general worth it?

I've had the TRD shift kit and they had really nice metal bushings for the housing. I took the TRD out and went with the TWM. The TWM is awesome with shortness of the shift, and the really aggresive height on the stage 2. I do notice that the TRD you could really pull into second gear really hard and it didn't move around as much as the stock unit with the TWM.
Before I order from a company for $28, I am going to see what the hardware store may have to offer.

Well I got them in on thursday and I installed them today it wasn't bad at all. If you have a intake disconnect it and it will make your life a whole lot easier. Like hpower said it didn't make the car any faster but u feel the difference when you're shifting.

Hi guys, I am not a vendor, so I cannot sell you products on scion life, but the toyota bushing kits do fit the scion tC.
I was over at my friend's place this past weekend, he has a tC, and was installing a SS ShortShifter and we put some of the speed-source cable bushings on his car and they worked out well! They really keep the feel of the shifter tight and precise in shifting, something stock rubber bushings cannot do ;)
