Has anyone on this forum or in Australia tried this new short shifter yet?

I'm interested in the product, price isn't exactly cheap but it seems to be quite good.

Most importantly someone on a US forum mentioned that it made the gear change feel less notchy and more precise.

[tricache]

I have a shifter setup for my NA 3 and it make it feel VERY precise!!! If their old kits are anything to go by than this will be an amazing kit.

Better make absolutely sure it suits RHD before ordering.

Isn't the stock shifter in the same position as with a LHD?

Does LHD/RHD made a difference with the shifter? ( i have no idea, just wanting to know)

Hop in a left hand drive car.
Jump out, walk around car, hope in the other seat, there you go. Right hand drive shifter.

Hahaha, actually thats what i thought as well.

However i dun wanna be the first to try this shifter in AUS lol.

It is worth a good $500+ i think.

I don't know how it works in the 3, but in the 6, the shifter is stamped RHD in Australia, but in the US it's stamped LHD. Suffice to say one is not compatible with the other. When I bought my TWM SS they assured me it would fit RHD. Well it didn't, until I performed some major surgery on it.

Wow, that sux.

I just thought it would be the same for all since the gears aren't exactly opposite or anything for LHD or RHD.

Shifter is in a neutral position too. Not like it appears to be leaning towards either Left or Right dependant on the platform.

No Idea, but either way i think it would be good to make sure i guess. Doesn't hurt to ask, but it would if it wasn't right!

So who in a Gen 2 MPS is game enough to try this product first!?

Or has everyone settled for the jbarone/2XS shift plates?

[kmh001]

In the gen2 3MPS technical review I quoted from the information provided by Mazda when I wrote that "The shifter is moved closer to the driver and slightly higher." I think it's safe to assume the shifter is not in a neutral position and that there are LHD and RHD versions.

[Crusher_13]

The TWM shifter was not suitable for the RHD market initially in the 6 speed Mazda3's.

It would not go into reverse. I am unsure of the reason, it would bump into or catch on something or maybe it could not be pushed down to engage reverse. Some of the members on OzMazdaClub were integral in testing the shifter and getting it ready for the Australian market. Unfortunately their server crashed some time ago and they lost a lot of that information so I can not find it.

[SP23HO]

Hmm, TWM doesn't seem to be monitoring this thread anymore.

Would be interesting to see if R&D has been performed on both LHD & RHD cars.

[TWM Performance]

Hey guys! Great news!

We are in the process of making a version for the RHD MPS! The prototype will be available very very soon. Before making it available on the market officially, we would like one of you to try it out and confirm fitment, since we don't have access to a RHD car here.

If you are interested, send us an e-mail to sales@twmperformance.com and we will go from there. First come first served!

Thanks a lot for your support, we can't wait to make this part available to all of you!

I have a Gen 1 3, and I bought a 2XS shifter plate. I love it. Just need to make my shifter height smaller now...

[SP23HO]

So has anyone volunteered to become a guinea pig?

i wouldn't know what to do with it even if i was interested...pity i'm no where near mechanically minded

I did. Haha.

Just wait to see what is in store for you guys soon.

[SP23HO]

Awesome!

let us know how it goes!

[SP23HO]

It appears the TWM short shifter is now adapted for RHD.

There is even a 10% off and free shipping.

Is anyone with a Gen 2 getting this?

[cak]

Just ordered mine a few weeks ago and still waiting for it to arrive, hope that it's much smoother between 1-2nd as my stock shifter is a real dog to get into 2nd, will post some feedback when installed.
