Short Shift Question

[Neo95]

Just a quicky, What is the diffrance between to standered shifter an quick shifter apart from the shifting throw!

Cheers!!

Trd short shifter sits closer to the driver as well

[Gainzy]

I've always wanted to try one but never wanted to pay the price's you could have one made. I've read that the trd one's aint that much different from stock throw be nice to have a drive with one!

[Neo95]

Im wondering what the mechanical diffrrance is?

Just to see if I could nock one up like.

Longer distance between the pivot and the lower cable attachment. Makes for a shorter throw. If you can weld you can extend your one without too much trouble.

I think the trd ones have a taller cradle so that it doesnt hit the floor pan but nothing a few washers wont fix

[Neo95]

Thats great. Dont surepose you know the distance that it is extended by cuz if you go to much surly the cable will be come stretched

I dont im afraid. Im still running the oem one. You wont have a problem with stretching the cable as you're not increasing the tension at all. Unless you mean kinking it? In which case you might but youd have to go really long for that to happen

I shell be havig a go at this.

I made my own. i shortened the top and changed the angle to suit my driving position and then i just used the piece i removed from the top to extend the bottom. throw some washers under the cradle and its done.
Bear in mind that these do take a fair bit of force that you dont notice due to lever effect so make sure any welds on the shifter are solid. i had my first try snap on me. i cleaned it up and re welded it and its fine ever since!

[Neo95]

Yep that sounds like me. How long did you make the bottom knce extended it then?

i couldnt say. i think about 20mm maybe more but thats up to you to decide. i measured the distance from the gear cable ball connector to the tunnel in the floor, then measured the distance between the cradle and the centre console. so you can add both up and take like 5-10mm off the total distance and thats the maximum you can extend it and ad spacers under the cradle without fouling anything

Yep, Im with ya I shell be having a pop at this.
