There's already stock springs that help push you back to neutral as well as mainly 3rd and 5th gears I believe. But pretty much it makes it smoother/quicker shifting compared to the already notchy stock shifting which gets multipled by the trd quick shifter. The mtec springs are just a good choice when adding any short shifter

Hey thanks for confirming your set up , based on your experience what was the most difficult of the entire installation with this set up ? Besides the fluid exchange ?

Recently changed my transmission fluid @ 27k miles. Switched to Valvoline synthetic. Night and day difference. TRD shifter is now much less notchy and is very smooth.

Interested in hearing how the red loctite worked. I have the exact same issue, it felt great for the first few drives but clearly vibrated loose. I'm going to redo it tomorrow and if I need red loctite, I gotta grab it early.
Glad to hear it wasn't just me.... |
