TWM Stage 2 vs. Doc I's Gearswitcher
I have been looking at TWM for a few months and was planning on purchasing it until I was informed of Doc I's new STS. I wanted to se who has which shifter, what they like about it and one draw back of the shifter (price, height, etc). Pictures would be great, esp. of doc I's since I haven't really seen it installed on a tC. Thanks for the info!

I went with Doc I's for the following reasons:
-- Shorter throws (about 50% vs. 35% for TWM)
-- Custom height reduction (between 0.5" to 3")
-- You can't beat price.
As for pictures, again, Doc I's SS can be made in custom height reduction, and people use different shift *****, so they'll vary greatly.

Doc I has a great price, but I want to see if the throw is still smooth, I don't want to have to strain to get it into gear.

^ all products of Dr. Isotope can be found there.
I too have his Gear switcher. Best Shortshifter I've had. I've owned 3. TWM being one of them.
The length from First to second measured from the center of my shifter is approx. 2" +/- 1/32".
I highly recommend his Gear switcher AND bushings to anyone with a manual transmission. The bushings add to the crisp, short, sporty feel of shifting the tC. It's just simply amazing. The things Doc can do are unlimited. Check out his website.

TWM: Loose feel. Not quite short enough. Short, but not a Dr. Isotope shifter. A tad sloppy. Noisy.
Doc I shifter w/ bushings: Tight, crisp, precise. Short, I mean short. Awesome feel, makes you want to shift hard every time. What else can I say? It's my favorite mod, I love it.
Any oher questions?
