TRD-?

$-< >?

Co.-TWM PERFORMANCE, PERRIN.

 

TRD - around 20% shorter throw, but stock height. Somewhat expensive compared to others. If you want a lightly shorter throw and want to keep it looking stock than this is a good option.

TWM Performance - 30% shorter throw, two inches off stock height and the shifter is set in a more neutral position. Throws are shortened a lot compared to the others. Good price for a good mod.

Perrin Shifter - around 30% shorter throw (not entirely sure), Adjustable shifter height. The adjustable shift height is a good plus, a bit expensive though. Also, Perrin products are known for ther somewhat shady product development...

RS Short Shifter - 20-25% shorter throw, around one inch shorter, comes with it's own shift housing. Cheapest among the shifters, but not much is known on the quality and design. The silver ring for the boot will not fit on the rod so plan to get a new shift **** and boot ring if you want it to look nice.

 

I like my TRD, and it was not expensive.

 

I think randode sells something where he modifies the stock shifter to make it a few inches shorter. Not sure if that works for you either, but it only costs like ~$60

 

how much are teh TWM short shifters?

I hated the TWM I had in my Celica and I cant imagine driving my xB with teh shifter sitting 2 inches lower than it does now with the TRD shifter thats in it now.

 

how do you like it?

i drive a stock one, my bud has the short shifter by TRD. and it was nice. small but noticiable difference.

 

I thought you might be interested to know that we're still having a special on the xA/xB shifters on our website. Regular price is $159.95, currently you can purchase it for $129.95 here for a limited time.

Feel free to drop me a line with any questions at sales@twmperformance.com or 1-888-569-8963.

Thanks,

TRD is easier to install. Did mine is 10 min .
you’ll know the difference after you drive with a short shifter.
after driving my box for a few months with the short shift I drove a stock shifter
thats when you realy feel the difference between the two.

If you do not want to mess around with the stock shift the TRD is the way to go

 

I love my TRD and I dont feel it was expensive at all.

 

Agree 100%.

 

i also have the trd one... but i dont like the throw.. not short enough, in fact, IMO i dont think it is much of a difference as the stock one. i havnt tried any other ones but i would rather get a different one then the trd.

 

I think it depends a lot on how tall you are... or how long your arms are. I feel like the TRD shifter is good because if it were about 2 inches shorter, I'd probably have to drive hunched over.

The main thing that I noticed about the TRD shifter is that it makes the shifts feel a lot more precise... it's not stubby either, but imo, the transmission doesn't really have that progressive shift feeling that an S2000 has... hrm, it's summer time and I really want to get an S2000 now...

 

I like the TWM shifter. I test drove a scion with the twm and was sold on the spot. :D

 

how bout the b&m one??

 

Get the Randode Short Shifter, it is shorter than the R*S shifter and smoother than the stock shifter. E-mail Randy and he will hook you up.

 

Are these shifters difficult to change?

i have the trd i hate it
i installed it myself drove it and thought that i might have had the shorter one already
it was only like 150 bucks but i was very disapointed
