Would you rate the TWM over the AMS short shifter?
Jon,

I ran over 600km on since last Wednesday. So far i didn't notice change in the SS behaviour while shifting (whatever the RPM range). As far as the lowering, as said before it's about 0,25' below stock. I will try to get some pics of a new nob this week-end.

For any comparison from TWN vs AMS, i cannot state since, i never tried the AMS on my car...

As for the reverse or 6th gear engagement, no issues at all. However, i must say that it took me a couple of days to get use to the SS "mechanical feel" when shifting (had the same learning curve on my previous SS install...).

Here's a pic of the throw improvement (3rd to 4th gear).
