[Squirly]

And im wondering i want to get a quick shift kit and a new clutch with a lighter fly wheel what exactly is the best quick shifter kit? and my yaris is white what color wheels would look good? anyone know?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Congrats on the purchase and welcome. Heard nothing but good reviews on NST's SSK. You can get all of the parts you need here: http://shop.microimageonline.com/Engine-Trans_c2.htm

As for rims, plain silver looks good imo.

Or white on white if you can keep them clean.

Yeah, another sedan! Get the NST SSK and save your money from the clutch/flywheel for the TWM short shifter, 2" gear shift extension, intake and exhaust. From all that has been said on here, the stock clutch it pretty good, and I tend to think you will be dissapointed by how little effect the lighter flywheel has. Have fun!

So you're speaking from experience? Because I have a Fidanza Flywheel on my car and the difference was night and day. The stock flywheel is 18lbs as where the Fidanza is 8lbs. The engine revs SO much faster and has way better throttle response with it.

No, I said I tend to think he'd be dissapointed. I certainly could be wrong. I simply believe the funds for a clutch/flywheel upgrade, which is by no means cheap, would be better spent on other things first. Especially on an otherwise stock car.

Skip the NST ssk products. Go with the TWM ssk. It costs less than the two NST kits combined, AND it's a better product. Cable bushings are good if you like firmer shifts. Cage bushings...either way. Trust me, I've been through all of the ssk products.

The NST underdrives/lightened pulleys get rave reviews, but I can't speak directly, since I haven't yet installed mine.

Looks pretty good. but back then the NST ssk took me 5 minutes to install and made me happy, now I've learn a lot and I feel more comfortable doing more advance mods.

Thanks for the link

No worries. It's pretty self explanatory...ships with picture instructions even!

[derickveliz2]

Yeah, I'm looking at the instructions now...

My concern is that 2.4" lower than what it is now!. Tonight on my way home I'm going to imagine the shifter lower, I'm afraid it would be too low for me, Well that doesn't matter for this thread, looks like a great product to me, that I would order right away if the ergonomics doesn't bother my driving style.

[minnyar]

If height is a concern you could always add a 2-3" shifter extension. Micro Image has them.

Kind of throws away the ergonomics for me. I can change gears with my elbow resting on the center console.

If you install our TWM short shifter along with one of our height adjustable weighted shift knob, you can offset a part of the height reduction by adjusting the shift knob all the way up. You'll also benefit from the extra weight of the shift knob that will give a super smooth shift feeling!

We also now have shifter extensions available, but they are more "aggressive", 4" long mainly for people who track their car a lot and want to keep the shift knob as close to the steering wheel as possible.

I hope this help!

Cool, 4" extension! Anyone know a good shift boot/shifter cover solution?


Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I think he get's the point.
