I want to change my shift **** and just wanted to get some recommendations on any good ones people have tried. Ideally it will be really heavy, but more importantly just have good fit and finish. Thanks

 

GReddy has a weighted chrome one that is actually threaded for Toyota.. running it on my xA and loving it...

 

I don't have it, but I know someone that does, the TRD Shift **** is awesome, perfectly weighted and looks great, talk to Hector (toyotaisme), he has it...I don't like the OBX ***** because the aren't weighted properly and because they are made out of metal, which (around here) means toasty hand with permanent burn marks...just an opinion though...

 

should i get a heavy shift **** or light, i noticed greddy makes 3 varieties, reg, counter wieght(heavy) and light (half normal)? Also has anyone gotten a leather ichibahn ****?

 

I'm loving the veilside ****:



The skyline I brought over for someone had one of these, and it was very comfortable.

thanks for the input, any other advice in this area?

 

I like the DC Sports and Skunk2 shiftknobs, but they are only for hondas. I'm thinking of getting either the Greddy counterweighted shift **** or the TWM shift **** (along with short shifter) right now...

 

I am using the momo design that is stock on the 2002 WRX. Feels good and looks great! :D

 

Whats it look like?

 

do you guys (and girls) prefer a light shift **** or heavy?

I am really looking for something that will just fit real well in the car, and feel well in my hand.

 

I'm using a Hurst T-**** and I love the feel of it. I think I have a pic of it in my profile.

 

I have the TRD shiftknob (the one that's leather and resembles the stock shape). My only complaint is that the **** still sits a little higher up than I would like. Perhaps the little TRD ball styled one would sit lower. Anyone with that who can comment? Does the short shifter sit lower or does it just give a shorter throw?

 

i got the trd, feels nice to have some leather in my car... feels like a real shifter now. the shifter looks tall but it screws almost completely to the top of the ****. very nice shift ****, just a little pricey.

 

the greddy ownz heres a pic of it installed in my echo

 

I'm in the process of making my own. I'l post pix hopefully early next week, but I think it'll be the bomb!

 

I was lookin at getting one of these in gun metal...anyone had any experience with these?

Take care...

 

the only thing I don't like about the greddy **** is that it's polished....that means it'll show greasy hand prints...

 

I'm thinking of a **** with recessed buttons for the cruise control. I'm talking to a maker of aircraft stick grips:



about a version with recessed buttons.

oh cmon george we all know that you are going to integrate your missle launcher and mini gun switches into the shift **** to take out any rv's interupting 'spirited driving' during a canyon run and still not miss the downshift. console buttons are such an ergonomic pain.

 

good idea, I've been using simple SPST switches...
