TRD Quick Shifter & 5-Speed Manual Shift Knob Kit - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

That is scary... You'd barely need to flick the lever... is there such a thing as too short throw shifter? Stay tuned, folks, as our fearless investigator Nutzoids will soon discover...

ChinoCharles · 02-09-2007, 12:39 PM

Haha, I can't wait to combine it with my frankenshifter.

Update - 02/09/2007

Got the TRD Quickshifter doohickey earlier than expected (woohoo) and installed it shortly thereafter.

Installation was a breeze, two clips and a washer, bada bing bada boom.

I've yet to take it for a drive, but will do so very shortly.

Holy Short Shiftness Batman!

This thing works REALLY WELL.

The throws are amazing short now and it feels great with a ball style shift knob I just installed as well (reference Speed Star Mesh for the tC). I can hold the knob like video game stick (think Street Fighter 2, with those ball and shaft style joy sticks) and throw it around all the gears with very little effort.

I'm quite happy with it.
Thanks again to echo_hrs for being the TRD guinea pig

I'll try my best to be the first to discover/buy the next TRD related product.

just got the trd short shifter installed and it REALLY DOES WORK..... as soon as u put it into 1st gear u can feel the difference.

redglare45 · 03-06-2007, 07:14 PM

Add another one for the TRD quickshifter. Just installed it this weekend. Much shorter to get into gear, does it's job.

Hey, what happened to the people trying to reproduce the TRD piece? I don't want to pay $130 or more for a block of aluminum! Are things still in the works or has it been abandoned?

riceboy · 04-03-2007, 09:13 AM

Well, what can I say? I broke down and picked it up,... I have a buddy visiting from the US this week, so I asked him to pick it up and bring it to me. All I can say is that this is an amazing mod! putting it together was like playing with a few pieces of lego,.. it just fit together real simple and it really only requires the removal of one pin. More importantly it's the results,.. the throws are super tiny now, and as everyone else has been raving about.. it really up's the feel of those shifts! The best way to describe it.. an aluminum re-virginizer.. TIGHT, TIGHT, TIGHT!

ChinoCharles · 03-15-2007, 10:50 AM

Hasn't been abandoned... its looking good for a couple months from now. Question is can you wait that long?

Hey, hack your shifter. It'll tide you over.

Oh, and we're getting bushings, too.

Short shifter is a mod I definitely think is worth it. Thanks for trying to get a cheaper alternative out there Chino.

Galavoxx · 03-15-2007, 01:09 PM

I think I'll wait. Thanks again for making this option available Chino. You better come through or some of us are gonna to have to make a little stop by your house...

ChinoCharles · 03-15-2007, 01:16 PM

I know man... think of it this way. If it doesn't happen, I'll be every bit as disappointed as you, if not moreso!

Shifter bushings for the tranny side linkage are a for sure, in the bag... and I can't fucking wait. I have never had stainless bushings in my cars, and I'm excited to feel how much better the shifts are.

Galavoxx · 03-15-2007, 01:20 PM

I've never had stainless either. But daMn it's hard waiting for the goodies.

The shift quality will probably be improved with the bushings, but expect more noise/vibration to make it's way into the interior.

I'm sure you've already been told/read about it before. I just wanted to make sure others knew about it.

ChinoCharles · 03-15-2007, 03:09 PM

What he said. TROOF!

bladesmith6 · 03-15-2007, 06:29 PM

Cool, I'll wait too. I just wanted to know because if it was dropped I was going to order one, copy it, and return the original part to the dealer. Even with a restocking fee I'd be saving money!

riceboy · 04-03-2007, 09:14 AM

PS Thanks to all those who took one for the team and purchased this at the beginning!
