Get DR. ISOTOPE the trd one isnt much of a difference in shift length and it doesnt lower the **** height. you can get yours custom from dr. iso.

I have it and I like it. The stock shifter's throw felt wicked long, and this made it a bit more sane. The shifter height is actually slightly higher than stock. Plus the leather shift **** looks good (matches the leather steering wheel if you have one), and it won't get as scorching hot (or freezing cold) as a metal shift ****.

I find the shifter throw and height to be excellent for me, since I usually drive with the seat all the way back. I sat in a friend's tC with the TWM short shifter, and I found that I'd either have to lean forward or hyperextend my right arm in order to shift into 1, 3, or 5.

If you can, try a short shifter in a tC to see how it feels.

I have this as well and I like it as well. I can't say how it compares to the others (from what I've read it seems like Dr. Isotope has a good SS), but I like this. I never did like my shifter to be too low and the throw is still a bit shorter then stock but what I like.

As arbnpx said, if you know somoene with a tC and a SS (be it TRD or Dr. Iso) see if you can give it a test run to test it out and see if it suits you.

On top of this you do get the nice looking shift **** which most places sell for like $50-$60 or more.

+++1 for Dr. Isotope. He uses stock shifters too.
