Well considering the TWM comes with everything as a package it would make sense to order it thru them. Save $$...

I have the CC. Best bang for the buck I would say. I like it a lot and it comes with the cage bushings. So then if you really want, all you just need to buy are the cable bushings from NST or someone. They're like $24 or something like that.

SmokingTires

That is very cool if the CC comes with the base bushings (very cost efficient). I would still go with TWM, but I am sure the CC is a great product as well.

I ordered the CC shifter and corsport cable bushings.

total cost: $99 shipped

I've got K2 Motors and NST cable bushings.

Extreme reduction, ~50%, and moved the shiftpoint along with the housing over to the right about 1/2 inch. Shorter throw and tighter cables for faster response.

Got mine shipped for 80$. Installed one on a friend's tC and he loves it too.

I would never order from K2 motor again. Besides the shifter they offer looks similar to the eBay one.

I've had mine in for 13K miles plus and got it from their ebay site.............80$ shipped and 100% no problems.............shorter throw than the twm and B&M .....tried both of them out in other tCs and didn't like them.

Did you have a bad experience?

I have the randode short shifter, and it is awesome! The shifts are as short as my 350zs were.

web

Never heard of it...............How's the throw? Pics?

zuhalter

Sorry but i have no pics, as for the throw its the shortest one out there. Randode is located in phoenix, and since i live here, i was able to have him install it for me. After i watched him put it in, i realized i could have done it easily by myself. Check out his website randode.com, i believe he sells them for 60.00 dollars complete. Check out the dessert and salt region, he is well known out here!

web

It's only a 30% reduction.......mine's about 50%.........measured the stock throw to be about 1.75-2 inches and now it's just under 1 inch

zuhalter

50% is awesome, did not think anyone had one that short!

I have the TWM Stage 2 with the Bomber weighted shift ****. No finer setup, in my opinion. Weighted shiftknobs are def. something you don't appreciate till you have one for a while.

web

Yeah, I believe the drop is only about 3/4 inches, which I'm not worried about. Longer shaft with more drastic angle on the pivot is more important for shorter and "less trouble" throws.

Mine was the whole housing just like the TRD shifter comes. I didn't want to deal with that damn black release clip people have cursed at.........haha

Mine took about 45 minutes to install taking my time and making sure everything fit flush.

web

I just used my stock one with mine. How much of a difference do they make? Does it shift "easier" for lack of better description?

i have the twm stage 2 with one of their weighted *****..i think it weighed a little under 2lbs....compared to the stock shifter, i would say, with the weighted shift **** feels like butter....so smooth, and not as much effort to push the normal weighted **** into the gate. you can be super aggressive with the weighted **** also.....definetly worth getting a heavy **** (ie close to 2 lbs) which might seem a little heavy, but you'll end up loving it when you go to autoX!

tekisui

Yeah I agree with malibuboy. The weighted **** makes a HUGE difference when you're driving hard. It makes it infinitely better when you're slamming it into gear in a race or at the track. I'll never want to have an unweighted shift **** again. Especially for auto-x :D

Do you happen to know if this shifter will work with an 07? I noticed that their website and ebay ads say 04-06, but I didn't think there was a difference between the 07s shifter.
