SO some of you guys have to have the TRD short shifter how is it?
and any one else have any thing else?

 

I have the TRD for the 1st gen xb. It's pretty nice, Good tight feel and precise shifts.

 

SEARCH is your friend, here you go:

you know its funny the search came up with nothing!

 

so the TRD works well but NST makes one for the XD but does that work on the XB?

 

Really? for "trd short throw". There's even a thread dedicated to this.

 

well sorry i put in short shifter! you know the AW11 and AE86 people are much nicer then most here i come to find out maybe people need to sticky things in here better

 

I thought I was being nice & helpful... :?

Here's the NST shifter bushing info for you:

Well, while this is true, nobody here has been mean yet. We're just trying to help. Trust me, you'll know when we're being mean.

 

it freaking rocks and I love it. Change the shifter from crap to great. I think I will also do the bushings later. but very happy with just the trd short shift. makes that 1st to 2nd so much easier

 

Not to thread jack, but I have to agree with ae86gts, I just typed in both TRD short throw, AND tried TRD short shifter, and the only ones that popped up on the first page that were remotely close to discussions about short throws were this topic, and one for the tC. "SEARCH" doesn't always work worth a damn for me either, and I do use it.

 

ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Click on the button (NEVER use the "type search here" box), then in the top box under "Search Query" type "short throw" (without the quotation marks). Under "Search Options" go to the "Forum:" line and select "--Scion xB 2nd-Gen Drivetrain & Power" from the drop-down list. Ignore all the other boxes and click on "Search" at the bottom. If you always stick to this method, using only these two boxes on the page, you will have much better luck. It actually works really well once you have it mastered. I hope this helps.

 

I thought TRD only made quick shifters, not short shifters

 

The idea behind a quick shifter is that it reduces the distance that the handle at the top of the shift lever needs to move (through different angles, leverage, pivot point locations, etc.) to accomplish the shift... hence the slang name "short shifter". It means a shorter "throw" to make the shift; it doesn't have anything to do with the length of the shift lever.

 

^^umm yea I know what the terms mean but TRD Quick Shifter is called that for a reason..not short shifter like the TWM stage 2 that I have. Thats why that is an improper slang term..I dont even think thats a term for the TRD shifter. TRD is same height as the stock shifter but it just shifts around 30% faster. Thats why they call it Quick Shifter not Short Shifter.

 

From www.TRDsparks.com

TRD Quick Shifter - Manual Transmission 2.4 L only!! XRS

Description:

XRS 2.4L Only. TRD Quick Shifter reduces shift throw by up to 35% providing a sportier more responsive feel. Machined to precise standards from 7075 billet aluminum. This aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio making it the perfect material for high performance driving conditions.
Installs in about 45 minutes with no drilling or special tools required. Uses OE shift lever and ****. For manual transmissions only.

Hence the slang term "short throw shifter" whether you agree with it or not.

 

short does not refer to the length of the shifter, but the length of the throws. shorter throws equal quicker shifts
