Hey Guys,
New here, but I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm looking for a short shifter for my car, and I came across this on another forum; a company called TWM Performance. I've never heard of them, but their site looks like they make nice stuff. Just wondering if I should go with these guys as the quality seems better than anything out there, and it has features no body else has...
Here's a quote from the forum:

Ive got the forge one fitted pal with the side to side shifter and never missed a gear yet, so dont know what there banging on about there but looks a decent bit of kit. Whats the price on it mate

I've got the diesel geek sigma 6 which has no counter weight and much shorter side to side and feels perfect.
Not cheap at 200 odd quid though.

Looks like they've got it on pre-order for about $250
I think I'm gonna take the plunge and do a review on it :)
