How many of YOU would be interested in a short shift kit by NST?

Such a kit would be similar to the kit we have offered in the past for the Toyota Yaris and the Scion xD, an engine bay kit that would modify the location where the cable attaches to the transmission.

FAQs:

Q: When would NST go into production, if at all?
A: NST will decide whether pieces will go into production based on feedback in this thread. Please post if interested.

Q: What would the NST price point be?
A: $100.00 to $125.00

Q: What material would NST use?
A: The same grade of aluminum we use for our pulley kits, hard anodized in a few different color options.


Thanks again everyone, good luck and have fun with all your projects!

That's a refreshing price point -- let's do it! Only thing is . . . I don't know how long I can wait, I'm eager for an alternative to the stock shifter's sloppy, imprecise feel.

 

A couple questions:

1) Will you be offering cable and/or base bushings as well?
2) How about a relocated neutral position?

 

Answered my own question: NST has cable & base bushings! :D

 

Correct! And at a price lower than the competition


MIKE @ NST

 

If you could come up with something like TWM's kit (with relocated neutral & whatnot) but at a lower price point I'm sure people would be all over it. TWM is great, I won't knock their long-standing reputation for quality, but their prices are too damn high.

 

X2 on that ^ and I own a TWM. Im sure people will be on this like fat kids in motorized scooters at Walmart; Heavy!

 

Sorry to thread jack, but do you offer anything for the xb2's shifter?

 

would your engine bay shifter be > or = to TWM's setup or is the price difference for performance difference?

 

if the performance is the same sign me up

 

Looking forward to what happens with this

 

Does this short shift kit also shorten length of the shifter stick or only the length of throw?

 

^only length of throw.

Hey NST any idea on what the reduction in throw would be? I am running a TRD right now, but if the NST counterpart has a shorter throw, I will be in on it.

 

Agreed

 

whats the difference frm this and the trd

 

I currently have a TRD SS. Like previously mentioned, if NST can relocate neutral position, shorten the shifter itself, shorten the throw even more, and not require me to donate a kidney to purchase it, I am in.

 

This thread is 11 months old, I'm not sure if NST is still interested in this or not

 

Ugh I want my shifter shorter! Lol

 

If y'all want NST to develop this you might want to email them and express your interest. October of last year was a bad time for this, there was low demand. Now it has picked up and this might be worth NST pursuing.

I just emailed NST about possible interest in this product. Hopefully they'll look into it
