B-Lugg Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Hey dudes. I recently installed a T3 short shifter in to the Rolla for mad shiftz. Although, I completely blanked that there was going to be a difference between a LHD and RHD shifter, so my shifter is ever so slightly angled to the left. It's definitely usable and unless I find something incredible, it will stay. I've read that there is three popular options for short shifters in this application - TRD, cheap eBay crap and T3. All having different pros and cons. Just looking to see what you guys run and what you do and don't like about them. :y: Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I'm using a $50 KLS short shifter. I had to shim it slightly for a tight fit but apart from that its has been faultless. Well made, solid steel construction and looks very presentable. EDIT: $180 dollary-doos?????? Edited February 18, 2014 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
B-Lugg Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Posted February 18, 2014 I'm using a $50 KLS short shifter. Interesting - happen to know the reduction in throw etc? Where'd you buy it? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Bought it on eBay. Throw from first to second is 90mm. Its also a threaded two piece, so you can use it standard length or change the top extention to whatever is comfortable. I'm trying to hunt a dogleg down to move the whole thing forward slightly because my arm hits my seat bolster when I shift. Uses the stock pivot. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-KLS-Short-Throw-Shifter-TOYOTA-AE86-SPRINTER-4AGE-AE92-AE111-/281250584822?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item417bd758f6&_uhb=1 Edited February 18, 2014 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
B-Lugg Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) That's US dollars postage not included mate, worked out to $230 odd AUD delivered... lol. I can't be mad though - I got it for free. Admittedly, it's a terrifically made product. They definitely haven't skimped on the materials or design. I might buy one of those to have a play with if they're that cheap! I would love to get some input from someone running a TRD shifter. Edited February 18, 2014 by B-Lugg Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Mine doesnt give me the JDM's though. And its all about the JDM's. Quote
