NST (NonStopTuning) Short Shift Kit Info, Specs, User Data...

This is a good question.

The traditional engine bay SSK, NSTSSK09, has been available for a long time, and is the easier of the two to install and remove. Most people use this version.

The newer in-cabin SSK, NSTSSK09-2, is also a great item and is cheaper, but requires a little bit more effort for installation.

These different pieces have been designed to give you options and choices, and to allow the more ambitious owners to have a combo that will provide a very very short throw, when both pieces are used.

You can use either/or. Decide what works best for you, and buy the one you like, or buy both!

That is the NST way

You just said it's a couple extra dollars. Stop being a cheapskate and buy the engine bay one! ;)

I have a question. Does this kit get rid of the mushy felling when you shift?

It helps a lot, especially when coupled with the shifter cable bushings, and some Redline MT-90.

Got my NST SSK 4 Months ago from Cali Yaris.

Installed a few days later in my 2008 Yaris 1.8 TS

My car comes eqquiped with the 2ZR-FE 1.8 engine and the SSK fit perfectly.

Time to instal: Under 2 minutes

This mod gave me instant gratification! Unlike other mods you do to the car that can be felt only under agressive driving, the SSK is something you enjoy every day. No matter that you are going to the track or to the grocery store

I already have my $$ saved for the upcoming NST Pulleys for the 1.8 engine.

Thanks NST!!!!

I forgot to mention that on my previous Yaris (2007 Sedan) I had the TWM short shifter since NST piece was not yet available when I got it.

I enjoy the NST piece so much more than the TWM... Is much more confortable.
Don't get me wrong, the TWM was a great unit but due to the Yaris configuration, Seat and shifter position is not the best idea to lower the height of the shifter. With the NST SSK I don't need to extend my arm all the way down and it's easier and smoother to make the gear changes.

NST FTW!

Now THAT is what you call a thorough review!!!

CASTREX FTW!!! props to you sir!!!

I agree with NST, very manageable and very nice and short. also, the bushings are a great compliment.

[NonStopTuning]

Very manageable mike, in fact that is what many of our customers do! And installation takes only a few minutes and very simple hand tools. This means you could always switch back and forth if you decided to.

Good luck and have fun with all your projects!

You should receive them within the next day or two if you have not already.


On a side note... I'm not sure how MI is doing on inventory, but we only have a few of our SSK in stock at the moment... So anyone who is interested may want to place an order sooner, rather than later!

Ordered mine the other day and got it today. I installed it in about 45 seconds but the OE retaining pin could not be engaged so, I just hooked up the cotter pin included with the unit to secure the linkage to the new pin. I am just concerned that this is possibly stressing out the linkage due to the fact that it sits higher on the lever arm? OR...maybe it doesn't sit higher on the lever arm and it's that the lever pin is shorter? The shifts feel much, much better though...I'd say throw is reduced closer to 50 or 60%
