feeler thread - shifter extension - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah, Im voting after typing this. I want one BAAAAAD. My friend has one on his Fit, and I love the added length. If it's reasonably priced, I will def buy one.

the extension is perfect for me. i hate using my arm rest because when i shift into 2nd or 4th it makes me feel like my wrist will snap.

I personally don't see this catching on. You'll sell 5 and it'll trail off after that.

Let' return to this point in about a month, when I've sold out my stock

Garm, I think I should be the test car used for this project.

TheUnGroomed · 01-12-2009, 09:02 PM

I removed my arm rest to make shifting easier. An extension might let me put the arm rest back in.

Seriously, if you don't have a SSK and you throw more than a couple of inches on there this thing will be like driving a big rig. Even with the SSK throws are going to increase.

WOOT!!

Can there be a slight curve added to it?

ddongbap · 01-13-2009, 05:56 PM

Or how bout an angle. Two of them. Just to get the ball backwardsa little bit.

It's possible!

Can there be enough interest for us to build such a piece?

mikenacarato · 01-13-2009, 08:17 PM

I'll buy 10. Jk. But srsly. I want one, even tho it isnt cheeap.

Its a Toy. It should work on all Toys.

/edit.

What I meant to say was, since Toyotas share thread patterns, why don't we just post on MR2 forums, or W/E other cars NST makes parts for.

Not a bad idea of posting it on other Toyota/Scion forums. I know that the Toaster people are doing this, as with the example of my friend's.

WolfWings · 01-14-2009, 09:18 AM

Just may be me, but I think the 4" extension would be redundant. Just buy two 2" extensions, screw em' together with some lock-tite, call it good. So, voted for the 2" extension. What's the drop caused by the in-cabin SSK BTW?

cali yaris · 01-14-2009, 11:48 AM

the in cabin SSK from NST doesn't drop the shifter at all, it just reduces throw (25%).

This is different from the TWM type shifter which is the whole thing and does lower the knob.

I'm in I have a twm shifter which I love but I do perfer that knob is placed further back so I woundn't what it to be more than 2"

mikenacarato · 01-14-2009, 04:48 PM

I think we need an official GB thread started here. I would say there is enough interest. :)

PHXDEMON · 01-14-2009, 07:24 PM

So when are the 2 inch extensions going to be made?

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
