Just ordered this (I realize we have a short shifter thread...but this wasn't covered in it, atleast I didn't see it). Is it hard to install? I've done shifter installs on other cars before, so I can't see why it would be. The pics on TWM's installation manual aren't that great, is there anything I should watch out for...or is it pretty straight forward?

thx for the help

 

umm... pretty straight forward.. i used the install manual that TWM gave and i did it in about 20 minutes from start to finish.

the only thing is a big flathead screwdriver, a hammer, and then some elbow grease... that should do it.

 

sounds like a joke, yay.

 

hardest thing is the retaining washer!

 

Yes.....

 

fair enough, thanks guys.

 

actually... the washer was fine for me.. it was me picking at the white plastic cap that gave me problems...

 

that retaining washer took me a while to get off when i was doing my cc ss install, but other than that, very easy install.

 

I used a dremel to cut the retaining washer cause that thing was a bits to take off! And the white plastic cap was also hard not to take off, but to put back on. There is a better DIY in the tech section, much better that the TWM instructions.

 

they should have used thoes washers on the space shuttle.

but for you extream guys, i threaded it down a nother 2.5 inches and choped it down 2 more inches for a more extream short throw. my **** sits just above the shift box! its great!

 

Hi Guys,

Just an FYI, we've just started a group buy on the tC short shifters here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=119380

^Bump, Go Kevin Go!!!! i need more shwag!
i also need that big banner decal for my moon roof deflector!

see post above, i choped it more!!!! hahahahahahahahahah

SSS= Super Short Shifter hahahahahahah

 

well, it was supposed to come today. UPS couldn't find my house (which has never happened before...so i'm really not happy), so I have to wait til tomorrow. Unfortunatly, I'm leaving for a weekend trip at noon tomorrow, so I have to wait til Monday to put it in...:-/

 

its worth the wait dude! i have had Kevin and the guys at TWM send me a shifter for both this car (my tC) and my last car, a Mazda 3 and so far the TWM shifter was the best mod. and i had a lot of stuff done on the 3!

 

Thanks for the props! Send me an e-mail at kthibault@twmperformance.com and I'll see what I can do for decals.
