HAHahhahaha... why would you be shifting into 5th if you're about to get rear-ended?!

Sounds good, I'm thinking on getting the TRD quick shifter too

. Maybe by mid-February. Johnny Canales, hopefully you can give us more feedback.
Have you been able to drive yours yet Echo_hrs?

you should still be accelerating but if the linkage popped mid shift you're now coasting to a terrible doom

Can someone answer:
Do the shifter kits actually improve the quality of the shifting?
My car is currently a little notching going in to gear.

Russelt3hPirate · 01-31-2007, 04:21 PM

and notchy is bad?

you want it to be less responsive and "smoother"?

Galavoxx · 01-31-2007, 10:50 PM

Yeah, where's the feedback on the how this thing works? And I agree, notchy is not bad, just the long throw.

installed my trd quickshifter yesterday...

holy %&#(, i can't believe how much difference there is between the stock feel and the quickshift feel! i absolutely freaking LOVE IT!#@*$#@^&*($&*^@#$

well worth the money, hands down. i don't give a flyin' $*@$ what anybody says. boo-yah!

johnnycanales · 02-01-2007, 02:58 AM

extremely better. Reduced throw majorly. Tested by myself and my bro, shifts are noticebly shorter and worth the money. pics arent really needed. they were covered already, not much to show. big change, what else can i say? detailed questions? I can answer specifics.

Bit the bullet and purchased the TRD quickshift piece earlier this morning.

I'll keep you all posted.

Besides, I needed a break from TRD so I just ordered 16" Silver Konig Featherlights from C2...

Cheers

Ok, sounds good. I might be up for the challenge...we'll have to wait & see what their next offering is.

marcus · 02-02-2007, 06:10 PM

you guys are funny.....next bait pls....dont let TRD control ur life..its gonna mess you guys up..look what happen to me i bought trd parts i dont even have the car yet.....hehehehehe

bladesmith6 · 02-06-2007, 12:54 PM

Did anyone bother to get the dimensions or make a wax casting before they installed it? I'm sorry but but $100 + dollars for a block of aluminum is just highway robbery. If anyone got the dimensions I'll gladly look into duplicating the part, after all melting aluminum isn't that big a deal. Or if someone is already on this track I'll just shut up and wait!
