Default Interest in Short Shifter (custom CNC made)

would like to see how many tC members in here. Would be interested in some short shifters at fraction of the price of a TWM, TRD, or B7M as I know these are like the only ones out right now but cost somewhat high I think(coming from hondas which are like 25-100 bucks for short shifters)

So I just like to know if to even bother my co worker to make some up or just get myself one out of tituanum made just for kicks and my personal ride use.


No this ain't all talk, if I get enough reponses and/or pm's on them. I will buy a actual one and just copy it and let's say try to keep it between 100-150 for one

how does that sound to u fellow members

Are you talking about a Short-throw Shifter or a Short Shifter?

If a Short-Throw, what percentage shorter than stock (ie TRD=20%, TWM=30%)?

If just a shorter shifter, how much shorter?

Would it be a complete shifter replacement (ie TRD), or just the shift lever replacement (ie TWM, B&M)?

so I can start on it next week to have it soon

B&M reduces the throw, but doesnt really reduce the height of the shifter much at all - if you are looking for both throw reduction and height reduction, I reccomend either the TWM (I have it and love it), or wait for the creative compacts one.

$100 sounds fair..but even $80 would be most reasonable. But it all depends on the fit and finish of the shifter...

I would get one if it's priced between $80-$100...

keep us posted.
