the twm shifter is about 35 % shorter and the shifting ball..i dont know what oyu call it, it lower. so you get better leverage. But the service from them was great. Easy to install!

The B&M is a high quality shifter, and it really reduces the shift throw. Unfortunately, it doesn't make it a whole lot shorter. Coupled with the bronzoil bushings though, it's a very tight, accurate shifter. <p>When my shifter fell through the floor a few weeks ago, it was sitting on the exhaust pipe and shifter looked very short! I actually liked it a lot... except for the fact that is was disconnected from the chassis and I couldn't find the gears very easily. lol Oh, and also the heat from the exhaust was radiating up throught the shifter and causing the entire center console to be very very hot! Not a good thing...<p>Anyway, I'd like to go with something shorter perhaps, but one that also reduces the throws as much as the B&M. I don't know much about this TWM shifter, although it sounds a lot like the B&M. To those that have it: did it actually reduce the height significantly? How does shifting feel with it?<p>Wil, didn't you say that the new MP5 shifter fit our car?<hr></blockquote><p>http://www.mx-3.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002751

protege one will fit too. i sat in a protege with a kartboy shifter. its super short. the shift knob is no higher than my thigh when i was sitting in the driver seat

the protege on fit just fine. Took about 15 mins in install. you can do it yourself at home. Just geting the spring back in was a *****.

I have a mP3 shifter in my car...its sweeeet and properly designed specifically for our car.

All 1990-present Protege/323 and MX3 shifters are the same, so any of them will fit.

Here is a pic of my MP3 shifter w/the MP3 knob (the stock knob doesn't fit..its threaded differently):
