    they replace the cheesey rubber bushings that over time,can tear.and making shifting into gear harder to do.the aftermarket bushings help shifting alot easier to do.that youll be able to feel.

    those little bushings go in all 4 corners of the bottom of the shift cage i believe its called. They replace the stock rubber ones

    o...yah, i was thinkin about the linkage. so they reduce wobble or slack on the mount area of the shifter when throwin hard shifts? round about?

    umm im not too sure if thats what they're for, or if its just to help raise the cage a little

    man this short throw is amazing.youll know once you get it installed and take a drive around the block.it is short.it sits closer to the driver,and the bushings help out the slack you sometimes get by not being able to put in gear.took me an hour to install.well worth it i think. :)

    I just ordered a short shifter from TWM but decided against getting the pricing shifter knob they had.... anyone have any suggestions? I keep hearing about the RTM knob... anyone have any pics or know of where I can get one?

    Was there any hard parts when trying to install or is everything pretty straight forward?

    Re:

    I actually like the height of the twm short shifter over the stock height. Personally, it feels very comfortable, and I find it easier to acess the climate controls...the stock shifter seemed to be in the way.
