Default TWM performance shifter review

So Sunday I bought a M1 Abrams gunmetal shift **** from TWM performance, three days later there was a nice box at my door, the box had TWM decals and the contents were very well wrapped.

Inside the box I got:

M1 abrams shift ****
Threaded insert
Height adjuster screw
Specially made tool
Manuals
Some lithium grease.


I must say I was really impressed by the overall process, the guys were really helpful over the phone, I spoke to Michael and I suggest you give him a call, he gave me a good deal.

The fit & finish on the **** is absolutely spot-on, the Coating is pretty much perfect, the engraving have been properly coated as well. First thing I noticed was the weight, this thing weights one pound and can go really deep into the shifter so even without a short throw ****, it reduces the throw.





I must say I was soo impressed I bought one for my parent's car, makes for a really cool driving experience.

Was this a special custom order? I looked at their site and I don't see any applications that fit Porsches

TIA

edit: This would look great in my car so I contacted them and got this reply...so really confused about this thread and your post.....
Hi,

Thanks for your interest in TWM Performance!

Unfortunatly, due to the design of the stock shift ***** and shifter on
Porsches, we do not have anything at the moment that will fit on them. We
will be looking into this when we release our Porsche short shifter later
this summer...

Thanks,

Alex

Ps - might strike some as odd but this same original post by a low post user posted on 6speed on the same day .... And shift pattern is wrong ....
