Default Axxtion STS SoCal Test Fit for FREE

I just finished machining a couple of Short Throw Shifter's for the TC. These fit under the hood, so they do not change any hardware in the console. They are a true 54% reduction. Installs in 15 minute if you have to remove and reinstall the stock air box which is located above the lever extending out of your transmission. Install time is less if you have a cold air intake. They are made of 7075-T6 aluminum which, pound per pound, is stronger than steel. I'm located near Disneyland, SoCal. If one of you guys is local and want an STS for free for test fitting, hit me up.

thanx

the shifter is changed from the inside...
the only thing that would be changed under the engine bay is the shifter cable bushings.

These fit under the hood, so they do not change any hardware in the console. They are a true 54% reduction. The new Axxtion STS for the TC is similar to what I build for the Altima SER shown above. The red anodized part in the center of the picture is what makes this a Short Throw Shifter, not a shortened shifter lever. Because of this design, you can get a much shorter throw than you would by altering the shift lever in the console. Plus, install is like 15 minutes.

The Axxtion STS can work in conjunction with a console STS. I actually installed one in a 2005 TC that already had a console STS so the shifts were extremely short. Front to Back movement is shorter than the Side To Side. This new Axxtion STS is a true 54% reduction. You might want to consider some of my backstock TRD xB Gen2 STS that are 30% reduction and will also fit your TC. As an example, lets say stock front to back shift distance is 10".

Axxtion STS.............................................10" x 54% reduction = 4.6"

Your current STS......................................10" x 30% reduction = 7"

Your current STS and TRD xB Gen2 STS.........7" x 30% reduction = 4.9"

Your current STS and Axxtion STS................7" x 54% reduction = 3.2"

Length of Throw ÷ 2 = Force To Push Lever x 2

I might have to get one when you release them. I have a 50% reduction shifter now with the 54% that would put me down to 2.3" which would be awesome on the track

how much for the xb2 30% STS and the tC 54% STS?

does this make the shifting action feel more notchier (greater resistance going in/out of gears, which I notice with console shifters)?
