Well I got mine installed. The installation wasn't too bad; pretty straightforward and the directions were pretty good. I only got to take a short test drive. The shifts feel very direct. It's a bit "klunkier" than OEM, each shift makes a bit more of a clicking noise. I have to take it back apart because something is making a very loud, very annoying high speed vibration that starts near 4K RPM in each gear and gets louder all the way to red line. I can't imagine that anything is left loose. LUbed the hell out of everything. Maybe I will take the console back out (I hate that) and remove the leather boot and see if I can pinpoint the noise with the inner rubber boots removed.

Just installed mine
First off just a warning if you've never remove the stock shift **** of these cars, they're a b tch to remove. I couldn't remove it while its in the car, so I couldn't even get pass the first step of the instruction. I tried for about 30 mins till I decided to just remove the shifted with the ****, boot, ash tray panel. I removed it by clamping it down on a using a big pipe wrench (cover it something with grip like rubber or leather) but still not with scratching it a bit, I always wanted a new one anyways. hahaha
Shifting so far feels a bit tight, I'll wait and see after a week if it gets looser if not I'll have to re adjust by loosening the bottom bolt under the car next time its up on jack when I do the test pipe and pulley.
Physically the throw distance doesn't look that much shorter compare to stock but its the actual shifting feel that is so much shorter. With the tight shift that I have now, the shifting feels like its just click click between gears. Its that much shorter and quicker.... I like it a lot.
Hopefully a new stock **** is cheap. hahaha

Yeah my **** wouldn't come off... for like 30 minutes. Finally after about 45 minutes of being on step one (not to mention it was getting dark already, since I didn't get it until 6:30p) I decided I got the TWM **** for a reason, so I'd probably never go back to the stock one, and that revelation made me stop caring about it, so I more or less tore it off lol... it was so annoying. mine had like 4 threads deep of glue...
Everything else was straight forward and it feels good just sitting in the car... I might go out now and try it out since I don't have anything going on in the morning

I guess mine is some sort of freak because I spent 20 seconds removing mine, I just gripped it, held the shifter shaft with vice grips, and screwed it right off by hand. TeeItHIi, any vibration or loud noise over 4K PRM? Did you use that plastic spacer on the shaft of the shifter (the one they said was for the 370Z)? I just thought about it and I wonder if that might be the culprit?

No I didn't use the plastic spacer. So I'm guessing you used it?
I actually notice less vibration than stock and not much noise other than clicking noise when shifting. I'll check again in the morning.
