Trd quickshifter=amazing!

[krulux]

The stock unit is decent, as compared to my old Tacoma truck ...but I've always enjoyed driving a car with a tight, quick shifter so I'm looking at maybe purchasing either the Kartboy or the TRD kit. Count me interested.

I have a different issue to solve though... I'm a big guy and need the leg room with the seat all the way back to be comfortable. So my normal driving position is just a tad too far back to comfortably reach the gear shifter in forward positions (1st, 3rd,5th). I'm only talking about maybe a 1/2" or something. It's not terrible or anything - but it's there nonetheless.

Under normal driving I ride with the seat as far upright as is comfortable... and under spirited driving I just move the seat forward a click and bend my legs more... but I'd prefer if there was an offering for a bolt-on rear offset shifter. (As an old electrician - I'm tempted to just modify the shaft with a rigid bender..)

That's the amount of play I see in my stock shifter assembly...much better than your prior video, LOL!

[ericmpena]

Any idea how much the dealer charges for install?

Awesome. You had me worried for a sec there and then saw the fix post. Did u change anything else fluid or springs?

I wanted to do all three at the same time but decided to do it separately and see how it affects probably a week in between each install.

I'm 100% stock other than the shifter. Haven't even done my first oil change yet!

Another thing to note, i am no expert so i tried to follow closely the instruction the shifter came with and applied loctite on every bolt that was part of the shifter kit...

blue locktite i hope yeah?

After reading all of your impressions, am interested to buy one, where we can buy it for cheap in Canada?

Ok thanks, I will ask at my dealer too on my next service to compare...

But for sure I will install it myself.

Let us know what the canadian dealers charge for it. I ordered mine from conicellitoyota and customs charged me 29 dollars ....

Just came back from Whitby Scion/Toyota.

The part number listed in this thread comes up as obsolete in their computer and they cannot get a quickshifter for the twins.

I ordered mine on ft86speedfactory since the part number was obsolete here in Canada.

For anyone who is thinking about letting someone else do the install, don't bother. This is incredibly simple, with really only 2 parts to install. Impressions after a few days: best $150 you can spend on this car, period.
