Short Throw Shifter
1 - 14 of 14 Posts
If the stock shifter is a two-piece, you can remove the outer stick and cut the inner stick, then re-assemble it. A lot of members in the Supra community did that as a cheap short-shift mod. Problem with that is that you lose some of the dampening provided by that inner stick, so it can get a little noisy shifting or you may notice some more vibrations in the shifter.

I'm happy with the stock gear box! I mean, short throw shifters usually only come into play when you're doing competitive racing where 10ths of a second decide whether you more on in your bracket or go home. I just don't see that its worth it. I think the stock gear box is tight and short. Compaired to my talon which seemed like you had to move you whole body and adjust your seat just to move from 1st to second. Just my opinion..

) prefer the notchy and more precise throws of a short throw shifter. I personally like the stock gear box but i believe short throw shifters to be better of in terms of precise throws and just fun more racer inspired driving and when one comes out from either TRD or any other manufacturer i will add one in to my tC.

Oh, believe me, everyone has their preferences, and I'm not saying that is a bad investment. I'm just saying for the average person doing average daily driving, a short shifter is not something you can't get by without.

Not really. I suppose you could argue that it would be, but 9 times out of 10, its not the right hand (shifting part) thats the problem with learning stick. Its the left foot and the timing between clutch and gas rather than shifting.
