short MONEY shifter

ok so we have all seen the twm and its 140$ price well i got one in december quality macineing simple instructions but overall i could have done alot more with the 140$ so hears what it comes with the shifter/the nylon bushing removal tool 4 extention bolts (maby 3 threads longer than stock) 4 nuts and quarter inch spacers that fit under the base of the shifter assembly

hears what you do
take out the shifter (duh)
put it in a vice heat it up at the bend and give it MORE BEND as if twards you while sitting
cut an inch (i hope you let it cool off) from the top
re thread
get 4 bolts just longer than stock
get 4 nuts just bigger than the threads to use as spacers or whatever gives it a quarter inch raise
paint
grease the bushings
install (be careful not to lose the shift cable pin it took me an hour to find

the only thing you wont get is the shift linkage on the twm is shorter

i may have missed or forgot somthing so just ask

should have got the 7th gen short shifter. costs 25-30 bucks on ebay, just as effective, slightly taller than the twm but much more worth the money
