Oh yeah, for sure. Once duties and everything worked out, the kit itself was about $200 CAD (about $175 USD) and the **** itself is worth about half of that. If I was to order the bushing set from Rev Competition it'd be another $60 plus shipping

I have tried the TRD one and also a TWM and I wasnt impressed with the TRD...it seemed like it was soo close to stock. The TWM was really nice cause you could really feel the shorter throws..as long as you are happy with it then thats all that matters. Congrats on the purchase

i like mine better than stock, but i still want it to have shorter throw.

nice work.
i drilled (and filed) open the stock boot retainer. then i installed it upside-down.

later i bought a leather shifter boot with the TRD logo stiched into it.

the trd quickshift is a nice piece... its easy to feel a difference from stock. although the throws may not be that much shorter, it feels 90% more solid when shifting. honestly, i don't think id want the throws any shorter.

never felt the twm, but im guessing its a bit harder to shift between gears... and i also like the way the trd makes the shift **** remain at the same height (cause its very comfortable)
