I'm in the same boat as you. i was ready to buy one, went to the site, and found out the bad news. I'd like to know if there is still a place to buy the adapter that allows the use of any shift ****.

Hi Guys,

If you're looking for a performance oriented weighted shift **** be sure to check out www.twmshiftknobs.com, as well as the round ***** we have on the way at http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftkn...ift-*****.html. Here's a pic of the stainless *****, but they should be available very soon in polished black (which we refer to as gun blue) as well as flat black.



Thanks!

Kevin

Our shift ***** are performance shift ***** because they are weighted. The advantage of a weighted shift **** is that it carries more momentum and kinetic energy throughout the shift stroke, and that momentum helps the shifter engage in to the next gear more smoothly.

Our ***** all weigh in between 450grams and 590 grams, which is much heavier than most ***** currently available. The difference of driving with a weighted shift **** is quite amazing and must be tried to be believed.

Take a took at this article on our website for a more detailed explanation:

I hope this answers your question, let me know if you have any more.

Thanks!
