TWM short Shifter., Whole Kit or just the Stick? Options

[hs2g]

Is it ok to just get the short stick and not the whole kit that it comes with. I here from people that you only need the whole kit if your shifter is really messed up and needs to be replaced.

ok here is how it goes:
TWM = 60% shift reduction
TRD= 40% if that

TWM= 160$ SHIPPED *most places*
trd= a whole heck more

TWM= the shifter (metal rod) and thats it
TRD= a whole bunch of other crap you don't need

so the concensus show that

TWM > TRD

TWM is a whole heck of alot better than TRD
