Also filed a dispute with PayPal, and placed an order with torque solutions for a STS!

That was a quick buy, sounds like you did your homework as you were waiting for my update. Torque Solutions or B&M will get my money... need to find a replacement weighted **** too, had one coming with the STS.

I trust Daddy fat sacks judgment, plus it’s cheap-er.

Thanks Cal, I don’t think you’ll regret the decision.

As for Nico, there has been many discussions around these Raceseng ***** and will always be my 2nd choice behind my TK ****.

Be sweet if Raceseng started manufacturing short-shifters for Nissans and Subbys. That company sure does have an eye for detail and design.

Hey, look at the two negative comments in this glassdoor site. Well, that's kind of interesting.

https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Em...VW11220286.htm

So I contacted Raceseng, and they tell me they are planning on making Short Throw Shifters. Probably not soon enough for you guys, but for someone someday soon. I bet they'll be fantastic.

+1 on the Raceseng *****, and I agree with your sediments Rochester.

I think I somewhat compromised when selecting a TWM ****... well maybe just subconsciously narrowed the options because I’m awful at making decisions.. but it was duty free, heavy, and satin finished (assumed it would match the brushed pieces). I also liked that it was not engraved. Back to the joys of finding another, and paying in USD.

I can also vouch for Raceseng shift *****. The quality and customer service are top notch. I called asking if they could do custom engraving for the top instead of their shift pattern and it was no problem at all. (Try doing that with Momo or Sparco) The parts are thoroughly over-engineered and the heavy weight actually makes shifting a lot smoother.

Same thing with the B&M shifter. A very well engineered and reliable part.

I wouldn't mind getting a second (third) shift ****, and switch them out on whim. Maybe start a collection. There are certainly more expensive things to collect.

My problem is the stone leather interior. It realy limits choices.

I can totally picture you with a glass display case for watches, but filled with fancy shift *****.

If you like the Raceseng ***** you could always do a white delrin cover for your white car.

eBay credited me my money... seller (TWM) never responded to the claim. Went Torque Solutions and Raceseng, but there is a 2-3 week backorder on the STS.

Nice choice on the shift ****. Which version did you go with?

Gloss Red Ology core with no engraving. A Black “Sphere” cover and an extra white “Top” cover ($35).

Couldn’t decide what cover, so for 35$ extra I got two colours and two styles. The red gloss should hopefully match pretty closely with the start button

I've been thinking I'd like to get their Rondure. At 800 grams, it would be a noticeable change over my 450 gram Titanium ****.

I looked at it, wasn’t sure if I needed a 1.8lb counter weight. Would love to hear your impressions should you pull the trigger
