no problem but the pictures in the TWM instructions are excellent. I understood them perfectly..but I had Randy do the work ...

see how the shifter is shorter and the angle is not so bended....all in all everyone who drove my xA, was literally blown away by the difference...the notchiness is still there but the height and shifter travel is radically noticable shorter. Vidal peel first to a almost smoky burn out before he power shifted to 2...my TSW members that was me and Randy and Jason in the car(4 people) with Vidal driving.... was all grins....yeah it's the shiznit !....for sure!!!

check out the length of the bar uninstalled...

All I can say is that I'm not longer going to be getting the TRD quickshifter. The shorter throw is a better investment.


:D 8) :wink:

Is that next to the stock one? Not very impressive in terms of shortness. I was expecting more.

I think it's a stock shifter. I don't think subcode had a TRD short shifter...

Yeah he went from stock.. I tried that puppy out, it is something to go for, absolutely something I am going to get.. Michael/SubCode is on his way home as we speak, he has a little surprise for his TSW buddies :D

most definitely, the throw is way shorter... I like the notchiness of the install, Randode or SubCode can you check the instructions and find out if it was xA/xB specific or not??

it fits both xA and xB. The shift knob is now about 3" shorter than stock and the throw is about 50% shorter. Its really a nice part!
