View Full Version : TWM Performance weighted shift knobs
TWM Performance 08-24-2009, 04:08 PM TWM Performance line up of high end stainless steel weighted shift knobs
We all know the benefits of the TWM Performance short shifter and bushings combo that thousands of customers have been enjoying over the years. But there is more to shifter improvement than only a short shifter and bushings combo.
With every aspect of the shifter and bushings improved, it’s now time to improve the shift feeling and interior style with a weighted stainless steel shift knob. What is the advantage of a weighted shift knob over the stock unit you might ask? Once put into motion, the weighted shift knob carries more kinetic energy than stock due to it's extra mass. It is therefore easier to engage the next gear as the shift knob wants to stay in motion, essentially helping the shifter engage the next gear. This results in a far smoother shifting action.
The other great advantage of a TWM weighted shift knob, and another exclusivity in the industry, is our NTIS® technology. A universal shift knob that retains the stock thread-on design and that is fully height adjustable. TWM shift knobs are the ONLY shift knobs in the industry with these features and it means they can be installed in virtually every car with a threaded shifter shaft.
All TWM weighted shift knobs are available in 5 different and durable finishes as pictured below:

Showcased here are the three most popular shift knob models in the Subaru community.
M1 Abrams
By now all of you probably know the M1 Abrams (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/m1abrams-shiftknobs.html) weighted shift knob. It’s round shape fits perfectly in the palm of the hand and weighing in at 460 grams, solid and precise shifts are assured all the time, every time. The M1 Abrams is threaded as deeply as possible to offer the lowest setting you can get compared to the stock shift knob.

Type R
Another very popular shift knob is the Type R (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/type-r-shiftknobs.html) weighted shift knob. The Type R shift knob is the perfect choice for any JDM enthusiast. Like every TWM shift knob, it is threaded as deeply inside as possible for maximum height adjustability.

A6 Leopard
On of the most popular shift knob with the WRX enthusiasts lately is the A6 Leopard weighted shift knob (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/a6-leopard-shiftknobs.html). Featuring a similar shape as the M1 Abrams but with a bottom collar for people who like more room between the shift knob and the shift boot, this shift knob weighs 485 grams for a positive shift feeling.

In the next post, our wide selection of Reverse Lockout compatible shift knobs for the Subaru STi!
TWM Performance 08-24-2009, 04:08 PM As the STi community is growing, the demand for reverse lockout (RL) compatible shift knobs is higher than ever and we are proud to offer you different models to answer everyone needs and taste!
M1 Abrams RL (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/m1abrams-reverselock-shiftknobs.html)
Our best selling M1 Abrams RL was introduced a while ago to the STi community, and with the addition of the engraved shift patterns last year it has now proven to be one of the most popular weighted shift knobs for the STi. Weighing in at 400 grams for a solid shift feeling, this 2" inch diameter round shaped shift knob fits firmly in the palm of the hand.
A few pictures of the M1 Abrams RL:

In the next post, our brand new RL compatible weighted shift knob, the TWM Piston!
TWM Performance 08-24-2009, 04:08 PM Piston RL (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/twm-piston-rl-shiftknobs.html)
Brand new to the TWM shift knobs line up is the TWM Piston RL (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/twm-piston-rl-shiftknobs.html). Inspired by rally and track race, this new model features the quality and durability you have come to expect out of every TWM Performance product.
http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/images/frontpage/piston-2.jpg
The design of this shift knob is inspired by the traditional piston shape you all know but with a smooth and unique TWM touch for the best grip and shift feeling you can get. Weighing in at 485 grams for the RL version, this new shift knob will give solid and precise shifts to your car.
http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_piston_rl/images/piston_stainless_sti.jpg
The TWM Piston shift knobs are precisely CNC machined for perfect proportion, then carefully polished on the lathe to receive one of our five unique and durable finishes.

And the latest addition to the RL family, the Big Type R RL weighted shift knob (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/big-type-r-rl-shiftknobs.html). We have had customers asking for a Type R shift knob compatible with the reverse lockout feature of the STi, here it is.
Based on our popular Type R shift knob, the Big Type R RL is 15% bigger in every angle than the regular Type R shift knob. It's the perfect choice for every JDM enthusiasts!

Aluminum Classic (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/aluminum-classic.html)
http://www.twmperformance.com/banners/alu_classic.jpg (http:www.twmshiftknobs.com)
We have been talking for years about the benefits of our weighted stainless steel shift knobs (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com), but some customers prefers the feel of an aftermarket shift knob with more or less the same weight as a stock shift knob. This is where our line up of aluminum shift knobs comes as the only answer!
Weighing in between 130 and 160 grams, these lightweight aluminum shift knobs features our exclusive NTIS technology for a perfect fitment on virtually every car with a threaded shifter. The finish is raw aluminum carefully polished by hands on the lathe for a bright silver look.
Every Classic Series TWM Performance shift knob (with TWM logo or without engraving) retails for $69.95. The aluminum shift knobs with engraved shift patterns retails for $86.90.

As you can see on this picture, we offer the common 5 speed pattern like you see on Subaru, the 6 speed pattern of the STi and another 6 speed pattern found on MazdaSpeed models and some Toyota as well.
