Default Anyone using a TWM weighted shift *****

They all look to be really quality, and I have to admit I'm curious about how a 1+lbs shift **** would feel on my car. Anyone with any first hand reviews?

I don't have the TWM weight ****, but I have a weighted Razo ****. Go weighted or go home. Its much better shifting with a weighted ****.

My soarer came with a high quality OEM weighted **** as well. The difference over these cheap aftermarket craps is noticeable. I use these two ***** in other cars I own as well.

I had the TRD **** and my stock soarer **** side by side. They are exactly the same minus the logo (weight, shape and all).

It could be that the OEM **** in my soarer was swapped...because the one in my supra was OEM as well and **** quality in comparison. (it was not weighted, no leather, but looked similar).

Rocked one in the past, not bad but ended up breaking crap when i was younger from it, now I just go for the round shift ball and size, not necessarily weight. I will be swapping to Man in the future as I can't stand mine being auto, i may pick one up to give it a shot again.

I'm curious because I never driven a car with one or without one so I'm not quite sure what the feeling should be like. Is the a noticeable difference.

I have the greddy grex one, I think it is a little weighted and it makes the shifting feel much firmer, and less vibration comes up through the shifter, the weight keeps it more still I guess.

Blox makes a "Type R" style weighted shift ****. It's around 60.00. Type R style is my personal favorite. They make other types of ***** as well, and doesn't come with an outrageous price like TWM.
