I just installed a Dr. Isotope short shifter (which by the way is very nice) and had to add what I already suspected before installing.
Removing the washer took about 30 seconds.. VERY easy with nothing but a screwdriver. The whole job takes less than an hour, even with letting my 10 year old do some of the work along the way. So dont let people scare you away with tales of a dremel (completely un-necessary). And if the washer breaks while prying it off, just use the new one, or if you for some reason dont have one, then you can buy them at ACE for about $.20
Just look things over before trying to muscle it apart. It is a very easy job.

I used 2 1/4 inch flathead screw drivers to remove "that" washer. I heated one up to get between the plastic and the washer for a decent bite. I then worked the other flat head around once I had a little room. The washer just popped off. Took about 1-2 mins.

apparently the trd shifter reduces throws without reducing shift height. So if you reduce the height of the trd shifter, then that would reduce the throws even more righhht?
Possible to install twn short shifter?

The TRD short shifter is similar in throw and height reduction to the TWM stage 1 tc short shifter. If you reduced the height of the TRD by cutting it, then you would in turn reduce the linear throw of the shifter as well, but not the angular throw.
The TWM short shifters can be installed in to the TRD shift assembly as well.
If you are concerned that the TRD may not be aggressive enough in terms of height and throw reduction, you should check out the TWM stage 2 short shifter.
I hope this helps.

damn this is a great thread, I just got my twm shifter in the mail today, looks a helluva lot nicer than the one in '04, Kevin must be moving up the food chain! Haha. I also got the sparco e-brake to match my sparco shift **** and the redline shift boot and ebrake boot, should be sick! I'll post picks on here when I'm done. . .
