Hello everyone,

First of all, let me introduce TWM Performance to the Corvette crowd! Since 2002, we have been producing shift knobs of the highest quality to cater to the tuner and sport compact industry. As our line of products has grown over the years, we have had multiple Corvette owners come to us to purchase shift knobs for their Corvettes to install on their aftermarket threaded short shifters. So we started browsing various Corvette forums and finally decided to take the plunge to officially offer our products to Corvette tuners!

An important aspect of TWM Performance that we take great pride in, is being able to say that our entire R&D, manufacturing, and offices are within North America! We strive everyday to produce products of the utmost quality while attempting to be the first company to release new designs and finishes. We're really excited to have been approved by the site administrators to be able to post here on Smokinvette.com and we hope to become a great addition to the Corvette community!

With our most recent shift pattern design #4, specifically designed for the Corvette’s 6 speed manual transmission shift pattern, you can now order your TWM Performance Shift knob with an engraved shift pattern!

I figured we would start out by creating a thread that will give all everyone a quick overview of the TWM Performance line up of products we offer for your cars.

As you can see here, and as you may already know, TWM Performance (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/) offers the most extensive line of products to improve the shift feel in your Corvette and the overall look of you interior. All of this is done while retaining OEM, or better, fitment and providing the highest quality materials available on the market today.

TWM Performance line up of high end stainless steel weighted shift knobs

When upgrading to a short shifter, whether it be the MGW unit or another, people often think that they have done everything to improve the shift feel of their vehicle. They often forget the benefits that a heavy weighted shift knob can have on the shifting feel of a car. A heavier shift knob carries more kinetic energy and momentum with it when set in motion than a stock, lighter shift knob. This effect of carrying more momentum makes the shift knob more difficult to stop when set in motion, so it essentially helps you engage the next gear. This results in a smoother shift feel with less direct effort required from the driver to engage the next gear. Basically a heavier shift knob smooths out the shift feel, and almost makes the shift feel effortless.

The other great advantage of a TWM weighted shift knob, and another exclusivity in the industry, is our NTIS® technology. A universal shift knob that retains the stock thread-on design and that is fully height adjustable. TWM shift knobs are the ONLY shift knobs in the industry with these features and it means they can be installed in virtually every car with a threaded shifter shaft. Our shift knobs will fit the following Corvettes:

- C3 Corvettes
- C4 Corvettes
- C5 Corvettes
- C6 Corvettes with an aftermarket threaded shifter shaft, or stock shifter that has been threaded with a die set.

All TWM weighted shift knobs are available in 5 different and durable finishes as pictured below FOR ALL NON-ENGRAVED SHIFT KNOBS. Engraved shift knobs for the Corvette are only available in Stainless, Satin, and Mirror finishes:

Showcased here are the all of the shift knobs we offer for the Chevrolet Corvette with the option of the engraved shift pattern #4.



- M1 Abrams (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/m1abrams-shiftknobs.html)

A very popular shift knob with Corvette enthusiasts is the M1 Abrams weighted shift knob (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/m1abrams-shiftknobs.html). Its round shape fits perfectly in the palm of the hand and weighing in at 460 grams, solid and precise shifts are assured all the time, every time. The M1 Abrams is threaded as deeply as possible to offer the lowest setting you can get compared to the stock shift knob.

- A6 Leopard (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/a6-leopard-shiftknobs.html)

The A6 Leopard weighted shift knob (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/a6-leopard-shiftknobs.html) is our best selling shift knob in the Corvette community. Featuring a similar shape as the M1 Abrams but with a bottom collar for people who like more room between the shift knob and the shift boot, this shift knob weighs in at 485 grams for a positive shift feeling.

The following shift knobs are available for the Corvettes in all finishes and will fit all corvettes however, engraved shift patterns are not available. If you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to write us a pm or comment in this thread!





Type R
Another very popular shift knob is the Type R (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/type-r-shiftknobs.html) weighted shift knob. Like every TWM shift knob, it is threaded as deeply inside as possible for maximum height adjustability.

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_type_r/images/type_r_pattern_1_stainless.jpg

Piston

Brand new to the TWM shift knobs line up is the TWM Piston weighted shift knob (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/twm-piston -shiftknobs.html). Inspired by rally and track race, this new model features the quality and durability you have come to expect out of every TWM Performance product.

The design of this shift knob is inspired by the traditional piston shape you all know but with a smooth and unique TWM touch for the best grip and shift feeling you can get. Weighing in at 520 grams, this new shift knob will give solid and precise shifts to your car.

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_piston_rl/images/piston_rl_satin_pattern_2.jpg


BIG Type R

One of our latest editions to our family of shift knobs is the Big Type R weighted shift knob (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/big-type-r-shiftknobs.html). Based on our popular Type R shift knob, the Big Type R RL is 15% bigger in every angle than the regular Type R shift knob.

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_big_type_r/images/big_type_r_rl_satin_sti.jpg

Weighing in at 600 grams, this is the perfect choice for anyone in the market for a heavy shift knob.

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_big_type_r_rl/images/big_type_r_rl_satin_pattern_2.jpg


Classic
The original TWM Performance Shift Knob ... the Classic. Its extremely smooth and clean styling offers a timeless and classy look to your interior.

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_desert_eagle/images/deagle_patterns.jpg (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/desert-eagle-shiftknobs.html)


Desert Eagle
TWM Performance has combined the design of our Classic shift knob with the dimensions of our popular .44 Magnum shift knob resulting in our heaviest weighted shift yet! The famous smooth shape of this awesome shift knob is already well known but never before has it been offered with this magnitude. Get smooth classic styling while substantially improving your shift feel thanks to 600 grams of billet stainless steel.

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_desert_eagle/images/deagle_satin_speed3.jpg


Bombshell
Though unorthodox in styling, our new Bombshell shift knob is designed to provide the largest range of comfortable grip positions possible. Your shifting will be more comfortable than ever thanks to its unique shape and smooth curves. Weighing in at 590g, the bombshell provides a much more solid, effortless shift by acting as a counterweight during shifting.

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftknobs/gallery_bombshell/images/bombshell_gunmetal_s2000.jpg


.44 Magnum
Featuring a unique 6-shooter bolt pattern top, this shift knob will be your weapon of choice for the best shifting experience possible!!! Weighing in at 1.29lbs (585g) you can rest assured your shifts will be smooth and easy with little effort.

Hello carrieflower,

All of our shift knobs are made of solid stainless steel, therefore they are REAL heavy! I believe you're talking about the Type R shift knob; it's one of our smaller shift knobs but still weighs in at an impressive 440grams which is about 1 pound of stainless steel :)

If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to help out!

More pms replied!

Are there any aftermarket knobs for the automatic?

:iagree::iagree:

There is not as much choice in the aftermarket for automatic shifters like the Corvette shifter, mainly because you need to press a button to move it from Park.

New weekend is here!

So I'm going to assume that there are no Auto shifters, as the website didn't include application for the Corvette. I do appreciate the help don't get me wrong.

Don't think that there is much that you can do with an auto. Kinda sucks, but then maybe I shouldn't have bought a Vette with an auto!

:woowoo::bump2:Cool items!

So I'm going to assume that there are no Auto shifters, as the website didn't include application for the Corvette. I do appreciate the help don't get me wrong.

Thats correct. Due to the button that needs to be depressed into the shifter to disengage park, or shift knobs do not fit the automatic corvettes :(

Now available at TWM Performance, shifter extenders!

Brand new product available at TWM Performance are our 4” shifter extenders, made for different applications (Subaru, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi…) and engineered to accept both the factory shift knobs and aftermarket shift knobs.

TWM Performance shifter extenders are CNC machined in stainless steel.
Here is a picture of a 4” shifter extender installed on a Hyundai Elantra TWM short shifter, along with a stainless finish M1 Abrams shift knob:

http://www.twmperformance.com/shifterextenders/images/extenders_no_text.jpg (http://www.twmperformance.com/shifterextenders/index.htm)

Shifter extenders are the perfect addition for people who want to enjoy the precision and solidity of a short shifter, but keep the stock height, or even place the shift knob higher than stock. This is a great upgrade if you bring your car to the track for solo, lapping, auto-x or track racing. Less time spent between the steering wheel and the shifter = more time with both hands on the steering wheel. Combined with the throw of a short shifter and the extra mass of a weighted shift knob, this is the perfect combination for track days!

Extremely easy to install, our shifter extenders are available in the following thread sizes:

M10 x 1.5 (Honda/Acura)
M10 x 1.25 (Mazda, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Nissan…)
M12 x 1.25 (Subaru, Toyota, Scion…)

http://www.twmperformance.com/shifterextenders/images/extenders_logo.jpg (http://www.twmperformance.com/shifterextenders/index.htm)

If there is enough interest in our new shifter extenders, we’ll be looking at making them in different lengths as well as more finishes to match with our different shift knobs. The TWM Performance shifter extenders are available for $39.95 and also available in combo with any short shifters (http://www.twmperformance.com) or any shift knobs (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com).

You can place your order at the following link:

TWM Performance LIVE CHAT!


Hello everyone,

At TWM Performance, we pride ourselves on our customer service which is second to none. We are continuously striving to think of new ways to better serve our customers and we’ve done it again with our new LIVE Chat feature!

Telephone calls are not always practical (we sometimes have a high volume of calls which leads to time spent on hold), and although we try our best to answer emails as quick as possible, conversations can sometimes drag out over a few days. This is never a good thing if you have a couple of quick questions, or just need some help asap. With our new LIVE Chat feature, you can chat with myself (Patrick) or Frank to get some instant answers or help with any of our products!

How to use our new LIVE Chat:

To be honest, it’s really easy. You simply log onto our homepage (www.twmperformance.com) and find the LIVE Support feature in the left column of the page. As of right now, Skype is the only chat program supported (so you will need a Skype account to use the feature), however we are working on supporting other programs such as MSN and Yahoo!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about this new feature, or any of our products, feel free to contact us!

Thanks,

Patrick
