Believe me I know! I've got my Civic setup for the track and it shifts SO close and smooth compared to the Yaris. Between the civic and my 6-speed XRS the yaris just *HAD* to get something!

I have seen that some folks simply file down the SSK in the engine bay to make it work in certain 09 models. I will note that I left mine in there unmodified for a bit and it put the cable on such a bind that shifting suffered miserably. If I removed the cable from the SSK entirely and move it in and out through the path of the existing post it was very free, however if I moved it UP and OVER where it was while I had the SSK mounted there was a noticeable bind. Because I didn't want to file down my SSK part I opted to take the dremel to the arm that it goes on. It didn't take more than 10-20 seconds to get enough filed off for the SSK to fit on over the arm. Once the SSK sat down all the way like it was supposed to the shifting was smooth and without any binding again. Hope this helps someone who does not want to modify the part, or has experienced the binding I did. You may also try to bend the cable slightly to help alleviate the severity of the angle. Good job NST, really pleased with the part.

W00t! Just got my red one today for astrogirl's '09. What's interesting is I won't have to modify hers, it's already been machined with the modification.

Since I have had NO help on this. I will let you know once I get mine and try to install it. Please find your shift linkage on your car where the SSK will go and compare it to my pics.

Hey Yota, did you get the SSK09 shift kit part for your Yaris? I ask because I ordered mine on the 16th of August, along with some bushings, and the shifter (in car) piece, and when I got my order the underhood one was back ordered.
That was unexpected, since the website said it was "IN STOCK"... and still does! Then, I get no satisfactory answer for when the back order will be filled. The worst part is, NST accepted my payment without telling me it was back ordered, until the order showed up without the ordered part and a hand written "back order" on the invoice. Jeez, had I known it wasn't in stock, I would have ordered the part elsewhere. Anyone else have this problem with NST??? |

I actually ordered from Garm at Micro Image. I ordered the NST SSK under hood "short shifter kit". It took me a total of 3-4 minutes to install only because it was a little harder to get in place that I first thought. If I did it again it would only take me 1-2 minutes.
Its a great mod and I really dont see the need to get any of the other stuff, but thats just me. FYI, give yourself a week or two to get used to the new shifter feel. Its strange at first, but its really nice now. I ordered the 13mm rear hub spacers at the same time as my SSK. Both arrived in the same box about a week after ordering(from MicroImage).

fyi
I thought I'd share my experience, and let you judge for yourself. If you install the piece over the shift arm under the hood alone, you will definitely notice the shifting will be slightly harder, and takes more effort to get the shifts into the gears.
If you order the Toyota part, you get a bracket, in addition to the cable/lever piece, that moves the cables upward,which helps prevent the binding caused by the movement of the cable attachment about an inch higher than stock. I believe it is WELL worth the extra $20-25 for the bracket. It's a really neat machined aluminum piece, but is a bit of a pain to install... just sayin'! |
