... wasn't the tc built by listening to a lot of customers wants?

then why is the shifter so fning tall? like a Z31 tall.

Anyways, less than 12hrs of ownership of my '08, the shifter was cut down to size. literally.

1. Remove ****.
2. place large bag and non-flamable towels around shifter.
3. use cut-off tool and cut 1" off of shifter.
4. install momo shift ****, acquired from previous vehicle.
5. enjoy free mod.

Seriously, like 300% improvement. I don't recommend anyone doing this (cutting your shifter) unless you have a momo shift **** that has set screws that screw onto the shaft of the shifter (vs. a screw on ****). You could cut it, then have a shop thread it... but i didn't want to remove the shifter. No pictures... cause I'm lazy.

next mod, Nav. then, rear sway bar, then bolt-in rollbar ($400 from IOPort) so I can run track days in relative safety.

 

Seriously ghetto.

 

that might be a first. at least your next mods will be a great step in the right direction. congrats on your scion purchase!

 

 

hey but at least it works and its free unless u dont have a cut off wheel lol

 

and seriously cheap.


DIY4LYF Why spend $140 on something when you can do the exact same thing for Free?

 

 

because it's not the same thing.. the short shifters you buy really shorten the trhow. this doesn't.
plus, i have the creative compacts one which i bought for $70.

 

it does shorten the throws, actually. Top of the oem shifter measured from 1st to 2nd, vs my ghetto-fab throw distance... And its shorter. Looking at pictures of other shifters, the pivot points are the same. If there r shifters that have adjusted pivot points, other than b&m

 

tell em aye tell em lol i think its a good mod if u have all the tool to get it done, nice mod mang post up a pic of ur shifter

The CreativeCompacts one I have..
The pivot point is adjusted...

 

Why is it bent and the shifter longer? any reason for it, other than the obvious of moving the shifter closer to the steering wheel?

 

what are you talking about? the bottom one is stock...

the CC shifter is longer at the bottom portion and shorter at the shifter.

 

You could have bought a short shifter for less than you will be spending to install a new shifter in 6 months because your shift **** keeps flying off .

 

yeahhhh i'm glad i spent my $70 on my cc shortthrow rather than just making the shifter look shorter...

 

the price went up $5 since we bought ours arodd. =]

 

whoa you're right. good thing i jumped on it relatively early like half a year ago. but, hell, its still one of the cheapest short throws out there. and works perfectly. lol i kinda didn't like the "packaging" it came in though.

 

this thread is still alive?...lol

 

Huh?

are you mental?

I spent $0. So, whatever I buy next, will just incur cost.

and the **** hasn't fallen off yet, cause I'm not a moron and know how to make sure it sets properly.

and Joes, my bad, thought the top was stock and the bottom was aftermarket (typical comparisons, before then after pics). Makes sense now.

 

should've rang a bell when we're ARE speaking of SHORT shifters..
