TWM=??
I searched but couldnt find an exact answer. The TWM is just a shorter stick...correct? If so, then cutting the stock "stick" would achieve the same result?

Thats kind of more about competitors products and the quality of them. I would still probably buy the TWM before shortening my stock piece i was just wondering.

I believe the short end of the stick is also lengthened a little bit compared to stock, and the shaft angled a tiny bit more. Not a huge difference but if you ever need to go back to your stock shifter...

Here is a picture to show the difference between a stock shifter and a TWM short shifter bottom section, this is a Corolla shifter but the Yaris shifter is enginereed the same way: It's the relocated pivot point that will achieve a great part of the throw reduction. Chopping off a part of the top section of your stock shifter will not achieve the same result as a real short shifter such as ours. Thanks, Frank TWM Performance |

Thank you thats all I was trying to figure out lol. I figured it had to be something more than a "chopped", or just shorter stick. I was just curious.

Hey since you got more buddies around see if someone can lend you a Stage 2 NST SSK to see if it works on the TMW it might work, It could be extreme but who knows?
