Once you get your vehicle back could you please share your thoughts on it and if it's worth the money.

So I read the instructions. I thought I would have to dig up the inside of the car and take apart the shifting area like you have to on the kartboy shifter. But actually, you do all the work on the under side of the car. It looks like you remove 2 bolts on the drive shaft bracket... and then kind of go from there. Should hopefully take 2 hours at most. Oh and FYI, the printing date for these instructions is 5/09/13... I wonder what else TRD has sitting on the shelf waiting to be released

Any chance you can snap a picture of the instructions so we can see exactly what it does?

It's stiff compared to the stock one but that's because the retaining pin was a super tight fit so it will need to be broke in and then it will losen up

Well I had a lot done, like I got LCAs, coilovers, new rims, tires, strut bar, catback exhaust, light kit, shark fin antenna, camber bolts, short throw shifter, and cold air intake done all together for parts and labor was 5100

I'm hoping the shifter was just a very,very small part of that : )

Does it keep the stock reverse lockout? I would assume so because you aren't putting in a short shifter similar to Kartboy.

Are the throws actually shorter or does it just stiffen it up? I guess I'm just wondering if it is worth it as an effective part or is it just another TRD expensive stupid part?
