and notchy is bad?

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

Galavoxx · 01-31-2007, 11:50 PM

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

tekmoe · 02-01-2007, 01:38 AM

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, 03:58 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.

Oh jeez...

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!

I have not read all of this just the first 4 pages. Coming from the honda mugen or nismo world this is a bargain. A mugen shift KNOB only can run this much. My father in law is a machinist and has been for 35 years i should have him make a few ...lol.

my brother and step-dad are both machinist, they have taught me how build stuff on the computer so they can be CNC machined... so if I got ahold of one of these I am sure I could get them reproduced. I already designed a shiftknob for myself.

Let's see that shift knob!

BlueLiftback · 02-09-2007, 01:57 AM

Just got/installed mine =). Easy install if your hands/arms are small enough haha (otherwise you may have to move the battery). Two clips and voila!

I LOOOOOVE it... It makes the throws feel like they should! Not too notchy (like an S2000 or something), just snappier and more... precise. I think that's the best way to describe it: Before it was a bit sloppy and ambiguous, After it is accurate and feels more precise.

I take issue with the gripes about the cost. While it is just a machined piece of aluminum, it does exactly what it advertises. Even for $135, I believe it to be the FIRST upgrade I would make to a new manual Yaris, knowing what I know now.

HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!!!
