Short Shifter - TWM vs Torque Solution
Hi guys,
I'm very much interested in buying a short shifter soon and I was wondering what you guys would recommend out of the TWM Shifter or Torque Solution Shifter or other brand I'm not aware of.
I can get the Torque Solution for $130 with metal bushings or the TWM for $182 with metal bushings. Is the $50 worth going for the TWM?
*They both offer RHD variants.
Thanks!
Just checked shipping costs for both:
TWM was $55
TS was $17
_______
UPDATE
So I got the TS shifter delivered in about 7 days which was nice. The shifter and bushings came nicely packaged with no damage to them.
The whole process took about 90 minutes and I'm very happy with the final product. Each shift feels very solid and precise. Once they shifter gets worn in and I get used to the shorter distance, it will be perfect.
Installation was really not hard with the instructions available in their PDF. The hardest part was probably removing the cup at the end of the shifter. The rest was unscrewing, unclipping and replacing - and that was quite easy!

Can i be really ignorant and ask what makes a short shifter better than stock? Is it less drag on everything because it's not as tall? So smoother shifts?

They basically just reduce the throw distance by 30%.

the distance between gears is alot shorter, so when you want to quick shift it is alot quicker and smoother because there is less travel
