This is the process I used to install the NST SSK. Be careful when doing this install as there are small parts that like to fly across your car and get lost. Also, be careful when working on important parts of your car such as these. Be sure to read through the entire procedure before doing the actual install.

For my thoughts on the install and a review of the product, scroll to the bottom of this post.

Disassembly

Start out by removing your shift knob. To remove, simply twist it counterclockwise (remember, righty-tighty, lefty-loosey).
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4838.jpg

Put your fingernails behind the lower center console piece approximately where the green circles are. Pull this straight backwards (towards the armrest). It may take a little force, but it will pop out. Don't take this piece all the way off. Just pop it out of the clips holding it to the center console.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4838_A.jpg

The reason you don't want to pull it away very far is because the cigarette lighter harness is still attached. Pull the center console piece back far enough so that you can disconnect this connector. Simply pull it away from the lighter and it will come right off.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4839.jpg

Now you can remove this lower center console piece. It may help if you put your car into 4th gear so you have more room to manuver the piece.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4840.jpg

Next, remove the "change cubby" and cup holders. Make sure your emergency brake is up to allow you manuver this piece. Simply put your hand under the piece and pull upwards. Again, this may require a little bit of force, but it will pop off. Lift the front upwards and then pull forwards to allow the tabs holding the back of the piece to seperate from the armrest assembly.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4846.jpg

After you put that piece somewhere safe, disconnect the harness for the armrest cubby power socket. There is a small tab you need to push in on this connector while pulling it apart.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4847.jpg

Now open up your armrest cubby and clear out all of the junk that is most likely in there. Once you get everything out, pull up the carpet in the bottom of the cubby. It isn't attached to anything, it just sits in there. With that up, remove the two 10mm bolts and store them somewhere safe.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4848.jpg

There are two phillips head screws that also need to be removed. They are on the center console just below the HVAC controls (circled in green). Store these screws somewhere safe.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4849_A.jpg

To the left of the shifter assembly on the center console, there is a plastic connector that secures the cigarette lighter assembly. Pop this piece out so that the wire is free. You should now be able to slide the center armrest assembly towards the rear seat and out of the way. I put my rear seats down and simply slid the assembly into the hatch area. You should now have plenty of room to access the shifter cage assembly.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4850.jpg

The next step isn't essential, but I think it makes the install easier. I removed the clip on the side of the shifter assembly that holds the shifter cable on. I just used a set of needle nosed pliers and pulled the clip off. My thoughts are that it will be easier to manage the shifter with the cable not attached to the assembly.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4853.jpg

The cable linkage removed from the cage.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4854.jpg

Next, remove the 4 bolts that attach the shifter cage to the car itself. Use a 12mm socket to remove these bolts (circled in green). Put these bolts somewhere safe.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4851_A.jpg

Now that the cage is free to move around a little, we can move on to the installation part of this walkthrough.


Installation
Since you will be dealing with some small parts that enjoy popping off and flying around your car's interior, it may be a good idea to tape up the holes under the cage. In doing various installs, these holes have eaten numerous nuts, bolts, and other various parts. Very few of these parts have been recovered. I just used some 2" wide painters tape to cover these holes as cheap insurance.

Now, if you want, you can remove the shifter cables from the front of the cage assembly. I chose not too, but was very careful when working with the cage. You do NOT want to crimp these cables as this is how you select your gears.

I gently rotated the shifter cage to access the cable that is still attached. This is also held on with a clip. I used needle nosed pliers again to remove this clip. Be careful as this clip likes to fly off and try to hide in your car.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4855.jpg

With this clip removed, you can remove the shifter cable linkage from the shifter itself. Simply slide the linkage cup downwards off the shifter base. You may want to put your car into 4th gear to give yourself more room to work.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4857.jpg

Next is probably the most time consuming and aggrivating part of the install. As you can see, there is a little plastic cup on the bottom of the shifter. This cup hugs the ball on the bottom of the shifter quite tightly. The cup allows the ball on the shifter to move freely while selecting gears. Your goal is to remove this cup without destroying it (which you will probably want to do after a few minutes of trying to get it off). Luckily, I had a simple "removal tool" that came with my Megan short shifter. You just put this piece around the base of the shifter and pull really hard. I pulled out my trusty needle nosed pliers and used the base of the cage as a point for leverage to get this piece off. This piece will want to come off with some velocity, so be careful where you are aiming.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4858.jpg

Once you get this piece off, you may want to take a break. Grab a pop/beer/other tasty beverage and revel in the fact that you got that piece off. That was just the hardest part of the install....it should all be smooth sailing from here.

Grab your shiny new NST Short Shifter Kit and the little cup you just got done taking off the shifter assembly. I put a little bit of grease in the cup to help keep the shifting smooth. Now, pop the cup onto the NST SSK. The method I used is to put the cup against my garage wall, hold the NST SSK against it, and give it a quick wack with a hammer. Be very careful if you do this because if you don't have it lined up straight, the cup may go flying somewhere in your garage. If done correctly, the cup should seat on the ball of the NST SSK.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4861.jpg

I test fitted the NST SSK and tightened down the screws to see how secure it was on the OEM shifter. I was plesantly surprised. There was no "slop" when trying to move the SSK and it fit the shifter perfectly. Just to be sure it wouldn't come loose, though, I put a little bit of Loctite on the threads of the set screws before installing it. With the set screws loose in the SSK, slide the SSK onto the bottom of your stock shifter.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4940.jpg

Use a screwdriver to tighten up the set screws on the sides of the SSK. Make sure to get them tight so they don't rattle loose.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4941.jpg

Be sure to tighten both sides.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4942.jpg

Next, slide the cup on the SSK into the cup assembly of the shifter cable.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4943.jpg

...And carefully reinstall the clip.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4945.jpg

Flip the cage back over so it is right-side-up and reconnect the other cable to the side of the cage with the other clip. Make sure both clips are properly seated and secured so they don't come off mid-shift.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4946.jpg

Finally, reinstall the 12mm bolts that hold the shifter cage to the body of the car. Make sure you get them nice and tight so the cage doesn't move around.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4947.jpg

You should now be ready to reinstall everything. It may be a good idea to screw on your shift knob and row through the gears a few times just to make sure everything is secure and the gears engage properly.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4948.jpg

Reinstallation
Slide the center armrest assembly back into place. Make sure the sides line up with the center console and use the screws to secure the assembly back in place. Once you get the screws in, be sure to reinstall the bolts in the armrest cubby.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4949.jpg

Don't forget to reconnect the armrest power plug wires.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4951.jpg

Reinstall the cup holder piece. There are some tabs towards the back of this piece that need to go in first. Make sure the front of the piece is elevated and slide the tabs into their spots near the base of the armrest. Once the tabs engage, you can lower the front of the piece and make sure all of the locking tabs engage.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4952.jpg

Now grab your lower center console piece and gently slide the boot back over the shifter. Be sure to reconnect the cigarette lighter connector to the back of the lighter on the console piece. To reinstall the piece, set it on the front of the armrest assembly and gently push it forward. Pay special attention to the tabs on the bottom of this piece as they are easily broken. Make sure these tabs line up with their holes and push the piece securely into place.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4955.jpg

Finally, reinstall your shift knob by turning it clockwise. Be careful not to crossthread the shift knob onto the shifter.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c68/THansenite/ShortShifter/DSCN4956.jpg

Now, your should be ready to go out for a test drive and enjoy your new short throw shifter.

Thoughts
Before the install, I was using a Megan short shifter. It reduced the throw, but also reduced the size which made shifts take a lot more effort. I loved it because it was so short, but it came at the cost of missing shifts while drag racing or autocrossing my car. As usual, NST has performance in mind with this product. Going back to the OEM shifter with the NST SSK on it, the shifts are extremely smooth and I have plenty of leverage to get the car in the gear I want. Shifts are effortless and precise.

From a performance point of view, I noticed that while autocrossing, I have to lean a little bit out of my seat to pull the shifter from first to second and going from second to third when using the Megan short shifter. This is eliminated with the SSK because the stick is higher. It is a minor thing for most people, but for performance minded individuals, this is a big deal. I am also excited to try this out at the drag strip. I am sure I will have a similar experience with the results being less missed gears and more precise shifts.

Despite having the 2 set screws, I was a bit apprehensive when installing the SSK because I feared the add-on piece would be a little sloppy when installed. This is simply not the case. The SSK is fitted perfectly to the OEM shifter so as not to allow any excess movement and give you a crisp feel of every shift.

I had several friends with manual transmission tC’s sit in my car and row through the gears a few times. They were really surprised at how much shorter the throws are. Many sounded interested in purchasing the unit eventually because it retains the OEM stick.

For those that want shorter shifts while maintaining the stock shifter height, this is the piece for you. It is a perfect balance of smooth shifting streetability paired with precise and strong shifting when pushing your car to the limit. The NST SSK is everything it promises and more because the installation is much easier than a normal short shifter. If you want a shorter throw from the OEM shifter, you owe it to yourself to pick up one of these units.

In chatting with Mike from NST, he said that this piece should be in full production by late May of 2008 and retail for under $100.

Excellent DIY Installation Guide. You da man :bow:


We strongly believed that there are, and have been, a number of good tC short shifters designed for street/show cars.
But no true short shifter had yet been developed for the street AND track driver. Which is exactly what the NST SSK has been designed for.

The NST SSK reduces throw and keeps the shift knob in the OEM location.
This is very good for track and performance drivers who do not want to reach far away for their shift knob.

These pieces are now in production and will be ready to go on sale in late May. Throw is reduced by roughly 30% and MSRP will be well under $99.

Stay tuned everyone!!!


:love:

Nice DIY! (cool watch, btw! :P Scion Forever! )

Nice DIY! (cool watch, btw! :P Scion Forever! )

Thanks (and thanks haha). I love my Scion watch. :P

So were you going to use this with the Megan Short Shifter? I have one and am wondering if I need to go back to stock to use this, or if I could the Megan SS...

The NST SSK will not work with the Megan short shifter. I put it on mine to test it out and the "neck" of the shifter is too narrow. The NST SSK wobbles around on it a lot. The SSK was designed for the OEM shifter which has a thicker "neck" towards the bottom of the shifter. I had the same thoughts as running a NST/Megan hybrid shifter. haha

I appreciate the concept, and laud the marketing, because selling these for what I assume they're going to sell them for is a triumph on par with the Toyota Prius. ¡Viva marketing!

I still have this shifter in my car. After a week of driving with it, I am not sure I am going to go back to the Megan short shifter. I originally planned on using the Megan for daily driving and the NST SSK for track days......however, the NST SSK is just so smooth. It shifts through the gears like butter, whether you are on a leisurely drive or under hard acceleration.

They will be in stock and on sale May 5, 2008...

Haha, I didn't even realize that I had those in there until I was doing this writeup. If I would have seen that they were in there, I would have turned them around so people could have read them better. :P

99 bucks for a little add on sounds a little high, i was expecting something around 60......... maybe even 75

but it does look like quality so i guess its what its worth

Trust me, it is worth every penny. There are some shifters in the $150 range and they actually make it harder to shift while racing because you have to reach farther for the shift knob. This gives you a shorter (quicker) shift while keeping the stock height for easier shifting. It may not seem like a big deal reaching for the shifter, but when you are accelerating out of a corner and needing the next gear, that little bit of extra height on the shifter really helps.

I hit a dragstrip this weekend and was able to give the SSK a real test. With the Megan shifter, I had a tendancy to miss the 1st to 2nd shift once in a while because of quick clutching and not enough leverage with the shifter. At the strip with this shifter, I didn't miss a single shift despite having a lot more power going to the wheels than I did the last time I raced.

Plus, I autocrossed again this weekend with the SSK and it was great. Perfect height for grabbing the shifter as I was coming out of a corner. I am loving this piece more and more every day.

Good write up. Thanks for also taping up the holes under the shifter. My install would have taken less time if I hadn't dropped . . . I think it was a nut down one of those holes and spent the better part of an afternoon trying to fish it back up. Tape is cheap. Time is not.

Shipping starts this week!!! Please share your thoughts and reviews with us after you install your SSK everyone!

It is Saturday, you should be out there installing your new NST SSK!!!

:P

Just a reminder to everyone that these are available to order now. I keep thinking about going back to my Megan shifter, but I always decide to keep the NST SSK because I love how smooth and easy the shifts are. You owe it to yourself to get one of these for your car.

Thank you for the continued help and support THansenite!

Ok so I did the install, and it went very smoothly, I think it took me like 40 minutes or something, and I was being pretty slow and careful. on a sidenote, I also got the lightweight crank pulley put on.

I noticed a huge difference in shift lengths immediately and I actually like how the shifts feel a little stiffer and not a loose and wobbly as before. I also like the way that it is stock lenth, as opposed to the shorter shifters. The super short length is what kept me away from those for such a long time. The quality was good as well.

With the pulley, I didn't notice a huge difference, but in the lower rpms (2-3k) I definitely notice that the engine just has an esier time getting up to speed, which gives it a nice bit of pull...obviously having to do with the lower rotational weight so there is less weight to get the car started moving.

I am very satisfied with both products!

Awesome review. Thank you for the support, and thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts with us in this thread.

Good luck and have fun with all your future projects!

thanks for the installation guide! ill be sure to get one of these when i can :cD

so just an update:

it has been almost a month and everything is doing great. my girlfriend drove my car for the first time, and I hadn't even told her about the short shifter, and she said, "wow, I barely have to more the stickshift!".

Awesome! You forget that it is there after a while, but when you put someone in the driver seat who hasn't experienced it yet it becomes much more noticeable again.

Thank you for the update, good luck and have fun with all your projects!

Nice write up.

I finally got the Short Shifter installed this past Sunday. I didn't find it an extreme difference, just felt like a 40% reduction in throw. I classify extreme as 60% or better. The NST SSK I had in my Tercel was extreme.

The install took less than 30 mins, as I had a certified Toyota mechanic helping (leading the isntall) with the install.

NST SSK for the Scion tC is back in stock and ready for immediate shipping!!!

just got min in on monday. going to do the install soon. cant wait to see how it feels.

just did the install on it and it feels great.

took me a sec to get used to it, i kept trying to force the shifter to go further but it didnt need to.

great product, its got my thumbs up of approval

Thank you :)

I am still running my NSK SSK and have had absolutely no issues with it. The set screws are still as tight as the day I put it on and there is no looseness in the part at all. This is a very high quality product and would recommend it to anyone.

:bow:

Mine is still dandy.

Most people that I've run across are surprised that it leaves the shifter at stock height. Told them I like it because its that much less space my hand has to cover getting back to the steering wheel.

Exactly. Plus track drivers enjoy this type of SSK because they do not have to reach far away to shift gears.

Performance minded tC owners, this is the only SSK designed specifically for you!!!

Thank you for the recent orders everyone. Please be sure to post your thoughts and comments with us as well. :)

I picked one of these up a few weeks ago, and was originally planning on installing it on my stock shifter. Then I got to thinking about it, see I ahve a TRD sport shifter just sitting in the box, anyone considerd isntalling this on the TRD? I'm assuming the throws would be very tight at that point, but given the stiffness differences between the TRD and the stock shifter it may be worth it.

Basically I'm gonna do this soon, unless someone spekas up and says, I did it already and broke my thumb on it or something.

-Sean

Since the NST SS just moves the pivot point down by an inch or so, I'd check first to make sure that the TRD shifter leaves you enough room below the pivot point on it to install the NST SS on it. I haven't seen the TRD in person to know this.

I should be able to mock it up on a table first to check for clearance. If I don't use the full TRD shifter I might use the cage as it has aluminum cage bushings instead of rubber.

Story time...

Well it was a pretty boring night, the car crew I chill with just got raped by cops the night before, practically raided us and gave massive amount of tickets and made examples of a few people with the warning to never come back to our meet up spot of a few years so far. I was at my friends house along with another friend and we were sitting around messing around with the Wii, listening to music, and looking at car related things online when I came up with the random idea to install the NST SSK. I have had this piece for over 4 months now and it sat in my center console for all that time due to my laziness and after a while I kind of just forgot about it.

We decided why not and got to work using this DIY as guidance. First off, I would like to say, GREAT WRITE UP! It helped us greatly step by step and was very clear for us to follow. From the moment it was in and we got to the section where it says to screw the shift knob on and try every gear before reassembling, the difference shocked us as we didnt expect it to really change as much as it did.

Needless to say, THANKS NST for such a great SSK, I personally love how it kept the OEM height despite some reactions from friends questioning why I didnt go with a shorter one. I wouldnt trade it, it works perfectly and the difference in feel and throw is amazing!

I had a blast hitting the streets for a test drive with the SSK on, now I am ready for the turbo thats coming in the next week or so! Overall great product, definitely one of my more favorite modifications :P

Glad to hear it bud! That's what you call a thorough review!!

Enjoy your NST SSK :)

CRAP, when i was putting my shift boot console back in...one of the plastic clips on the bottom broke, so now the piece isnt flush. Anyone know where i can get a replacement and how i would go about reinstalling the clip?

maybe try a local dealership for the exact part, that might work, btw where on LI are you located at bro?

over in dix hills, i come over to the cedarhurst area on a weekly basis though

Ouch. Sounds like you may need to try a local dealer or a junk yard for that one.

Good luck :)

After installing the SSK, when shifting or down shifting does the angle of the shifter sit the same once you have completed the shift, just as before the SSK???

no the angle is not the same because the shift length is reduced. itll be less angle. basically, its like if normally it takes 5 inches from 1st gear to shift to 2nd gear...now it takes like 3 inches. so youll end your shifts 1 inch sooner than before.

Any other user reviews, thoughts, or comments?!

Thanks again :)

Ha ha. I didn't think so. I planned on ordering soon, just waiting for my next check. Thought I'd give it a shot. :silly:

No problem! We have a few in stock and ready for immediate shipping. Let us know when you're ready.

the only problem i had with this kit was that i was driving one day and my only worry about this kit in the beginning was that it uses the screws to tighten to the rod. As i shifted one day on the street back home the shifter came out of hte socket and once again i had to call the tower to move my car and reopen my shifter to place it back in

Glad to hear you're OK. A little bit of loc-tite goes a long way and is highly recommended.

:)

i think u should change the design of the bolt to be more secure cus the only thing keeping it there is the two little tiny screws. you know what i mean? two screws will wear down eventually.

Thanks for the feedback bud, we definitely appreciate it and take all the feedback we receive into consideration.

We have sold many of these SSKs for quite a few different applications. I can honestly say that we have never heard of any longterm issues or problems thus far. Honestly, what happened to you was probably an unfortunate freak accident. Either way, glad to hear that everything is good to go with your car.

Good luck and have fun with all your projects!

We have several kits in stock and ready for immediate shipping if anyone is interested.

:icon_juggle: juggling NST short shift kits :icon_juggle:

Sorry to hit a thread that's been quiet for a couple months, but I was wondering if the ssk comes with the little removal tool?

Yes it does! :icon_mrgreen:

Any other user reviews, thoughts, or comments are welcomed and appreciated!

Sorry if this has been asked already, I am at work and don't really have the time to scroll through all the comments. Is the Loctite a necessary thing to secure the SSK? I don't want to be driving and have the SSK fall off during and I don't know if I want to put Loctite on the shift lever incase I decide to restore to OEM.

We highly recommend using the Loc-tite, as listed in the package when we ship each SSK.

Anyone else?!
