Default TC* TWM Short Throw Installed

Hey you guys I just installed my TWM Short Throw..

SO far..Best Mod yet..I love how short it feels and precise..you know when you shift gears and sometime U grind if you dont lock it into place, Well that always happened to me, So I decided to go w/ the Short Throw.

Its Install was kinda difficult..But its in..Tell me what U guys think about it.

U can also lower the shift **** of you liked..But I like it in the middle.

I kinda wanna find out how to adjust the shifter boot to make it look like its not so bunched up..Any Ideas how?



SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PICS..

Looks nice- I’m jealous, but will have one before long-

How long did it take you, and how talented are you at other installs?

Did you dremel the clip?

EDIT- oh, and I think you are SOL about the bunched look-

The boot is stapled to the rectangular frame underneath it. Pop out the frame, remove the staples and re-staple it. You may want to cut off the extra material. Be sure to measure and test fit first.

This S/S looks good.

Nice pics, looks good.
Post a new picture if you fix the shift boot.

Does anyone know if the threads are the same (as oem) on the shaft so that you can use other *****? for example using the stock ****, or obx *****.

Here's my pictures:
Picture is when I'm trying to remove the clip:


This one is the comparison of the two shifters:


This is my shift **** and shifter before the install:


This is the shift **** and shifter after the install:


And for those who want to see what the TWM **** looks like:


I posted this last night in this thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...29410&start=55

This short shifter is very nice. I'm not too big a fan of the TWM shift ****, too used to my razo, but I still have it; I like the weight of it.

So is the throw actually a shorter distance or is this just a shorter stick with the same geometry? I am used to looking at Mustang shifters so I am a little lost. :D

At first I hated the look w/ the bunched up boot, but I gut the top and just flipped the chrome piece and its a dream.

Lemme know when U get yours I'll tell you how to cut it to make it look good.
