Looks a little different... excuse the blurry picture, camera phone.
100531169_320893837_0.jpg My buddy actually just hacked a center section out of my stock shifter with an air saw and welded the pieces back together at an angle. My short shifter cost me a 12 pack... haha. |

That TRD one is interesting, looks like the whole plastic assembly is changed, not just the rod like the TWM one or ChinoCharles' amazing high-tech shifter
Someone should get that TRD one and compare it to the stock assembly

The TRD one is a whole assembly. No cutting, no bodgy work needed. It maintains the height which I prefer and comes with the boot and knob.

I would rather keep the stock height.... dropping it will make it way too low... at least for me....

Well I would like to reduce the distance between gear changing.

Think of it like two lines coming to a point - the point being the base of the shifter. if the two lines are longer, there is a greater distance between the end points that are opposite to the shared point. shorten the lines, shorten the distance. |

I think the point of a SS is reduce the throw, BUT maintain height and the force necessary to move the lever between gears. By cutting the rod will reduce the throw but increase the effort needed to move between gears.

Its true... the amount of force necessary to shift is still the same. Will a shifter bushing kit from TWM help with that? Or the C-ONE clutch line?

in a sports car they keep the shifter height wise low and sorry but this is just an everyday car and the way you sit in the car it would just work better if you just had a short throw not just a short shift rod deal thing

Here's a link to the one on the TRD site:
http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_quickshift.html I believe it's the same as the old Vitz/Echo (NCP10) even though it doesn't say so on that link above... can anyone confirm? I like having my shifter sit real high... so I don't have to reach at all from my seat. I added a tall bubble shift knob (8" tall) and it feels great, only issue is the throw is a bit long now and the shifter isn't weighted so it took a little getting used to. I think this knob with the TRD assembly would be a perfect match for me. |
