short shift
i am the proud owner of a 2011 yaris hatchback. i want to install a shift kit. can't decide on which one to get..the twm one that actually replaces the shift lever or the nst that installs in the engine bay.
i like the look of the shorter shift knob, but i dont wanna pay that much. and the nst one installs in what, 5 minutes? the nst website is also sold out of the kit i want..anyone know another place to buy it? |

MicroImage should have the NST product.
TRD also offer a similar product. OR you may find the much less expensive knock-off from Piggies on eBay. I've got ~70,000 kilometers driving on my Piggies with zero issues thus far.

After a long while in use I could stand an ever shorter throw and may add the NST adapter for under the shift lever to reduce travel another 25%.

Yeah, I've had my Piggies for about a year now and it's still going strong. Just as "ilikerice" said, the first time you shift after having it installed will slightly blow your mind and excite you.

seems like a totally different car...especially if you pick up the entire kit...
- in cabin - under hood - cable bushings
