Cause for some reason after moving out of my ex's house, I cant find the OEM shifter and cage!! And OF COURSE she doesn't know where its at!!

 

Got my Dr. Isotope gearswitcher in, it's great :D . Ended up going with a 2" height reduction:




Oh also, I'm somewhat confused about the cable bushings which I have yet to install. I looked at install guides for other companies' bushings to get an idea of what I was going to do with Doc's delrin bushings, however all other companies only give you 2, while Doc includes 4... how exactly do I install these things?

 

^^^ i have wondered the same thing ,,,2 and 4 ???

 

When i got my NST for my tC, I got 2!

 

Docs go in as a sandwich. So they are basically 2 peice bushings. From what I can tell, that i the very best way to make them that hard and still be able to fit 100% correctly in the cable ends.

 

Oh darn engifineer beat me to it lol. I made a DIY and everything. Oh well you guys mught find it helpfull just the same :-):

other then that there are 4 bolts and then the 2 connections that clip on the end of the cables. IT is a little tricky getting the 2 cables out of the there. You have to turn the connection piece but there is a spring keeping it tight




Also, the search is very helpful ... I put "shifter diy"

 

Thanks! I did a search, but I was being specific. Didnt know something simple like that would get me the result I needed!! Thanks again!

 

Hey, so Dr.I is only a modification to the "shifter arm" itself?? You can use the original cage and stuff. And, if so.. does shortening the arm, also shorten the throws?

 

Anyone have Pics of there ARK short shifter???
Also overall witch one is the best not including the price???
And for those who have a 1.5 inch drop or more doesn't your elbow hit the arm rest when shifting to 1st to 2nd and 3ard to 4th???

 

Here is picture of ARK V. 2 Short Shifter !! Currently we have sale price listed www.arkspeedracing.com



Here is comparation ARK V.2 vs TWM stage 2 result from TC member.

anyone have the ARK with pics? any opinons on it

 

ok here is the ARK VII STS...excuse the **** it was temporary



it's a great shifter. It's a little taller than the TWM stage 2 (by mere centimeters) but the throw reduction is much less. paired with a weighted **** (which i now have), this makes for an excellent shifter. no missed shifts and the distance inbetween shifts is a lot shorter. Excellent product. one thing though, you cannot use the stock leather **** or the TRD leather ****. You do need an aftermarket ****, the one that ARK supplies with it though is sufficient and pretty good.

 

Doc's bushings install like a sandwich (half on top & other half on bottom).
Here's the DIY w/ pix https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...c+gearswitcher

In most of the pix I've noticed almost everyone w/ Doc I's SS has that chrome ring on the shift boot covered. Is it possible to install it with the chrome ring intact (w/ 1.5" default reduction)?

Similar to this setup (notice the chrome ring on the shift boot underneath the shiftknob)

 

lol yeah I figured out how to do the cable bushings, infact I wrote that DIY

And yes its possible to keep the chrome ring. If you look at the pic of mine that you quoted you can actually see it, its just kinda hard because of the bad lighting... I'll have to get a better pic. You need to drill out the crome ring with a drill bit larger than 1/2" or take a 1/2" drill bit and grind out the center to acheive the same effect. I also cut off a portion of the bottom of it to make it smaller so it wouldnt interfere when I crammed it on there. You then set it up just like stock only when you slide it onto the shifer it will go over the lip of the shifter that used to hold it up. Its now held up just by the boot pushing up. I hope that made some sense

 

I just got and installed my TWM stage 2 in. Took a while to get one clip out but after that it was oober easy. I love it so much! Everything just feels more natural.

 

My Megan racing short shifter w/ my new sparco shift ****.....

lost souls, nice choice with the globe x sparco! that's what I've got! to fix your shift boot problem get the redline boot, they are awesome quality and a good price, one of my favorite mods.
