They have throw reduction figures on their web site.

Yes, you will get to 80 mph faster with a short shifter.

Τhis is interesting....

dngz · 10-03-2006, 05:22 PM

lol, yea its good for everyday use! It's perfect height for me! my elbow rests on the storage unit in the mid and my hand is almost level to the shifter!

Kitt · 10-03-2006, 08:53 PM

Excuse my ignorance but is that the whole assembly or just the stick?

dngz · 10-04-2006, 12:53 AM

you just get the short shifter, a little replacement clip for the one you will probably end up cutting off or bending off, and another tool to remove the plastic piece attached to the bottom of the stock shifter.

boot, shift knob, & anything else u see not included

oh yea, and by whole assembly meaning shift knob and stuff.. if you buy the short shifter and a knob, u mite get a discount on the knob??? not quite sure, sumbody please correct me if im wrong!!!!

Katana · 10-04-2006, 05:52 AM

If I buy it, will I be able to remove it when I will sell my car and install the previous setting?

Hey I asked this guy Kevin at TWM about fitting a 1.5 liter yaris sedan.
This is what he told me. It may be helpful to you, it may not, but I figure its worth a shot..

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our products. Our Yaris short shifter
has
been tested in the 2007 Yaris Hatch, but based on our experience with
Toyota cars over the past 5 years they never change shift assemblies
from
one trim level of car to another. For example our Echo short shifter
fits
both the hatch and the sedan as they share the same shift assembly.

If you order the short shifter and it does not fit for some strange
reason, we would refund your purchase 100%. I can almost guarantee you
that the short shifter we offer for the 2006 and up Yaris will fit.

Here is a link to the page where you would order from if you decide to
go
ahead with the purchase, or feel free to call us toll free at
1-877-655-0540.

Get it... roll the dice. Worse comes to worse you send it back and you have a deposit down on a version for the sedan when they release it.

Very fast delivery.

I want your comments on the installation part.

xfatefailsx07 · 10-06-2006, 08:01 AM

I am actually going to do a DIY - Short Shift Kit, so that will pretty much sum up the process. I'll leave my commentary as well

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 08:07 AM

on a related note, has anyone managed to find a leather shift boot for this short shifter? or would it need to be custom-made?

Katana · 10-06-2006, 08:25 AM

Τhe original shift boot won't fit the short shift?
