Hi Everyone,

On behalf of TWM Performance I'd just like to introduce myself and our products. We manufacture short throw shift kits specifically for sport compacts. We believe in working closely with the car community and playing an active role wherever we can so if anyone has any requests, comments or questions feel free to contact me or any of my associated any time, we're all enthusiasts just like you.

Currently we have a short throw shift kit available for the xA and xB (details in the buying and selling forum) but we may be developing some other parts for your platform in the future.

I urge you to visit www.twmperformance.com if you'd like to learn more about our company and I look forward to helping you all out in any way I can.

Thanks,

do u happen to kno the specs on trd one?

cuz i currently using trd short shifter...wonder if urs are shorter

 

yeah i have the trd shifter and would like to go at least 3 inches shorter.. i want it be as short as the guy with the onyx blue xB from norcal with the really dark tint... i think its mikey. i want my shifter as short as his. i hate my pick up truck shifter, or at least if feels like im driving a pick up truck. . . :D

 

I haven't personally seen the TRD as of yet but my understanding is that it is roughly 1" shorter than stock. Based on this thread https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...+short+shifter it looks like ours would be about 2" shorter than the TRD.

The individual who did the final testing for our product installed ours in place of his TRD and reported ours to produce a much more direct, short and precise shift feel.

Thanks,

Thanks for joining--and welcome to ScionLife.

 

when u say shorter.. 2" lower than stock?
does that shorten the throw or just make it lower?

does your short shifter come in a kit like the TRD one?
or is it just the shifter itself?

 

Our shifter reduces both the height and the throw. We increased the length of the shifter below the pivot ball while reducing the height above it. The adjustment of the pivot point is what creates the 35% reduction in throw.

Currently our shifter does not include a **** however we do offer a stainless steel weighted **** for all Toyota shifters right now.

Thanks,

does claremont toyota or Motor Impact in fullerton have these items in stock??

 

Claremont should be stocking them shortly, give them a call (ask for David Draper) and they can get them very quickly.

what is the part number, because their is no listing on the website :? I am seriously thinking about gettin one also :D

 

Here's the link: http://www.twmperformance.com/shorts...onshifters.htm

The part number is TE2004SN, it was actually originally engineered for a car that chares the xB platform, the Toyota Echo Hatchback which we have up here in Canada (looks like Yaris/Vitz).

 

I see that in the picture that the shifter is by itself but I was wondering if your kit will be including the baseplate that bolts into the car?

 

isn't it gonna weird having the shifter 3" shorter than stock? i mean the seats in the scion are pretty high, it seems like you would have to reach down pretty far for the shifter

 

I assume these shifters accomodate the stock/TRD shift *****, correct?

 

i want my shifter to be this short .

 

Our kit includes only the shift lever, the entire baseplate is not necessary as your stock part works perfectly. We include a detailed instruction manual which makes the removal of the stock shifter from the shift assembly completely painless.

We've tried virtually every **** height possible and found that 3" below stock offered the best improvement in shif feel and looks while still keeping your arm in a comfortalbe position.

As lonng as the TRD **** is threaded to fit the stock shifter it will fit ours as well.

Lol, that's pretty short If you really wanted that kind of **** height you can always adjust the shifter once you get it. That way you'll have a shorter throw with the height you want.

 

how would i adjust it to be that short? besides hackin away at it and loosing the thread.

 

For the price, wouldn't it be safer to stick to TRD? :?

 

Wonder if anyone has this?
