Garm, are you gonna stock the Cylinder ones also?

cali yaris · 04-20-2009, 11:04 AM

Yes, when he makes them for the Yaris. We've asked for a "Type R" shape to be made.

There is no need for another review, so i will just post it here.

Installed: Killer B delrin ball, cable bushings, and 2" shift extention

The delrin knob is top notch, fits perfect. I love the 2" shifter extension, once you adjust, you dont know how you ever shifted without it! I also installed the cable bushings, this took about 2-3 minutes once you got all the tools together (i used a long nail to get the bushings out.) The shifter still had more slop than i had anticipated. the transition from gear to gear was better, but once in gear, it still had alot of play. well, i had my dad jiggle the shifter, and looked to see what moved. well, the forward link of the two shifter linkages was the one moving. there is a center pivot point on the forward link and it appeared to be the culprit. i removed the nut, and added an extra washer to it, and it made a bigger difference than the bushings (probably due to the fact that it was already lose.) So if anyone has sloppy shifting, look into that spot. I think it is probably caused by when i hit a deer and the shop worked on my front end. i remember that they even had to change the intake manifold, so that was probably the cause. During the bushing install, i noticed alot of semi loose parts like the intake tube. Damn body shops...

Anyways, hope that helps someone. All in all, its a great $80 upgrade. A SSK may improve all of this as well, but i too many other things id rather drop $100 on. Honestly, i think that moving the ball up closer to the wheel decreases shift times faster than the SSK alone bc it is so much faster to move your hand the shorter distance from the wheel. I always felt like i was really reaching and fishing for the shifter previously.
