It does, but as a warning to anyone using it this way, the shifting is backwards. Look at the + and - near the selector. Every race car I've ever worked on was 180° from that, and my first attempt at using it resulted in a surprising down shift, instead of up, LOL. It was also the last time.

Just swap the pins. There is a DIY on here somewhere with which ones to swap.

All Toyota cars are backwards like this for whatever reason.

I was aware of that one, thanks though... tried out the shifter up and down, its a little more fun than the paddles.

btw, check out sickspeed products on ebay, I have the adaptor( kind of like the manuals lift for reverse part) and a pearl shiftknob. I used the adaptor under the shift boot for a clean OEM look, but if you use it above the boot, its like an extension.

Yeah, when driving hard I use the paddles only. But just cruising around in a scenario manual works better (like rolling hills, traffic where I'm looking to pass, etc) I tend to use the shifter. And muscle memory from racing games and other cars I have driven is just too much lol

Also you will need an adapter for the boot retainer, otherwise you'll have the exposed metal
