The only picture I can find of my short throw, I think it's TWM lol.

 

The thread size should be the same as stock which is M12 x 1.25. The TWM shift ***** are all available here: TWM Shift *****. If you use the holiday discount code XMASTWM10 you save $10

Be sure to check out our new engraved shift ***** too: Engraved shift pattern shift *****

So I haven't seen anyone else discuss something like this, but I stopped reading around page 16 so I may have missed it.

I've got a TRD Shifter, AND picked up a NST SSK for a real good price last week.

Anyone think about combining the NST with the TRD shifter instead of the stock one? I'm just wondering how that wold affect the overall throw.

Just ordered the GearShifter Premium from Doctor Isotope.

I await with baited breath for it to arrive!

 

I have made my own short throw shifter it was not very difficult it has reduced the throw by an inch about 40% can make it even more if you shorten the shifter itself

I left all stock bushings the only ones i suggest to change for even stiffer throw would be the cable bushings under the hood the cage bushings will not make a difference that you can feel trust me

no need for raising the cage we have plenty of room under the cage that you can shorting the shifter with out having to raise it but you can do it to keep as close to stock height as possible

i can post pictures p.m. me if you would like to know how to do it

 

Installed my Dr. Isotope GearSwitcher (1.5" reduction) on Sat. Except for that damned washer and the clips on the '08+ shifter assembly, it was pretty smooth sailing. Driving experience is so much better now.

I need a new shift boot though. I hate how it is that scrunched up.

 

im thinking about getting the trd short shifter. Is t worth it? I have heard it is good from some friends and want to make sure. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

I can say that I really enjoy the TRD shifter. Like others have stated, it does not shorten the actual height, but it does significantly shorten the throws. It all depends on what you are looking for.

 

it doesnt shorten the hieght at all?

 

If it does, maybe 1/4 inch at most. I did not notice a change in the actual height, just how far I had t throw the shifter to change gears.

 

alright sounds good. thanks for the help. Maybe you can help im taking a few peoples advice i want to get a cai but my neighborhood floods alot and im scared to get water in my engine. Ive heard that even a little puddle will mess it up. What do u think?

 

Does anyone own the B&M short shifter? it reduces the height by half inch and shortens the throw like 30%... and its only 125 bucks on trd sparks... what do u all think?

 

I think you should spend less money for any combination of drop and throw reduction you want by contacting doc ;)

 

The TWM short shifter is only $114.95 right now, actually only $104.95 if you use the new year discount code XMASTWM10. You can add shifter base bushings and cable bushings at a discount as well when ordered with the short shifter here: Scion tC short shifter.

ya i totallyed up the B&M shifter with the corsport base and cable bushings it came to like 180 total

 

Ok i just purchased a TWM stage 2 shifter special 3 i think.. it came with both bushing sets

 

You dont want to shorten the shifter bc when you shorten it it moves further away from the wheel which takes more time to shift and also if you wack a 1" off of it you also make it harder to throw

 

If I bought the Doc I short shifter, would it wear out the cage like the TWM ones I read about earlier in the thread? I know it uses the stock shifter(modified of course), any info would be helpful =)

 

No it should not wear out the cage bc all he is doing is moving the shifter ball up and taking some thread off the top the and more then likely the only reason they are panted black is so you don't see the heat marks (it will wear off) u have to heat it to move it with the press (or air hammer)

 

Thanks for the info.


Another question, in the image up top(looks like a momo shift-****), that height seems perfect, anyone care to estimate its height or confirm? looks like a 1.5/2 drop in height.
