I got the GOLD ONE WOOT!!!! installing it was a bit troublesome i think it could just be me but it seem like the bottom of the piece was machined a little too some so i had to file off a bit of the bottom to get it to fit, that wasn't a big deal though. Still only took 15mins to install and I'm loving it a lot!!!!! Makes the throws so much shorter making it even more fun to drive. I will highly recommend the SSK from NST to anyone who drives a manaul xD or yaris. It's a must have for all who drives stick!

We are working on several new bushing designs over the next few weeks. We expect to have some new goodies available for you guys this fall.

I actualy have the NST and have had access to the TRD. Hands down NST for the win. Why do I say this? Cause NST is the kind of company that will end up producing more xD parts for us if they see a xD need.
Plus color options are cool and they are cool dudes who will talk you through any questions if you have any.
heres my DIY install if you missed it...

I pre ordered my 09 xd this past weekend. i am currently rounding up goodies to throw on when I take delivery. For the life of me I cant figure out how this makes the shifting shorter. I know some companys like B and M offer shorter rods for the tc and that makes sense to me. Can you please explain how this piece can shorten the distance that the throw needs to travel to change gears?
