Alternatively you could check out TWM Performance short shifters. They are alot cheaper than TRD and are shorter than the TRD ones.

I'll be getting one of these real soon :D :yahoo:

Check out their website

I've been to their site before. Got really confused because they say its for Celica or something along those lines ..... They seem to be from the USA. So its about 100 bucks cheaper than the TRD one?

Are these TWN reliable? Don't want it to break suddenly ........

What is the difference with the bushings?

There are standard rubber ones.

There are solid aluminum bushings.

There are bronzoil cable bushings.

Which is the best and what is the freaking difference? Now you see why I'm confused ............

Obviously the standard ones are not good enough so it leaves the other 2 metal choices .....

the one we get is for the corolla.. choose corolla not celica..

and yes they are reliable.. some members have the TWM shifters on this forum..

the shifter cradle sits on these bushings.. stock bushings are made of rubber so they have a bit of give and make your shifts feel mushy.. solid metal bushings mean that the shifts feel more positive..

go TRD!! i was going to call Lane and get one. They can source it for around 350

TWM is cheaper still.. due to our exchange rate u can get a shifter and a weighted gearknob for less than the TRD, and is delivered within a week :yahoo:

Seems like the TWM is the way to go then. From what many have said, they do what they need to do and with the weighted gearknob it'll make the shifts even more smoother. I don't really care to see a TRD on the gearknob so if it's cheaper and providers a better feel. TWM it is. :yahoo:

Yep that's where me and Guni were looking just before. Though it didn't come with an option of getting the bushings also.

So I'm gonna contact them and ask whether they'll add it in:D

Get the base bushing and the shifter cable bushings

I don't know about a smoother shift, but my one is damn solid.

I'm using TRD SS + shifter cable bushings.

With the TWM, you will have to try and remove the round clip off your existing cradle which is a bit of pain. If you happen to destroy it in the process, have a browse through bunnings as they have some in stock, but not sure about the size. If their is one thing I don't like it would definitely be the istallation, I kinda butchered mine one.

The TWM will give you a shorter throw compared to the TRD SS but you will want a heavy gear knob to help with the shifting, if not then you'll be looking at sore forearms :(

Sorry, still a bit blonde .... which of the following should I get with the SS ?

- solid aluminum bushings

or

- bronzoil cable bushings

What's the diff between those two?

These look pretty sweet any idea if ascent has a similar layout to the sportivo for the gear shifter? (other than 5 vs 6 speed)

Might grab a weighted knob and see how that goes aswell.

i think they are identical, hence why the shifter will fit both..

both the shifters should fit im pretty sure

ive got a TRD ss and its not that much lower in height from stock its a good average height

my fren had the TWM ss and daym it was reallllly short

both the ss have a good throw from gears but in the end its about the height and name

the TRD comes with metal brushings or whatever they are also the stock ones are rubber

TWM you have to get them seperate right??

hope that helps

Steven.

Too late again ............. Already got it and installed it. What can I say. Yummmmmmmmm ..........

The shifter is quite short compare to the stock and the throw to each gear is even shorter. Also fixed the alluminium shift assembly bushings and the bronzil shifter cable bushing. I'm not sure what purpose those bushing serves but wad da hack ............. JUST DO IT !!!!!!!

It gives a more positive and sore feeling. Have not tried maintaining LIFT because gear oil still needs changing. We'll see how it goes.

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Had a similar issue with my 2003 Camry sedan. I'm think the mechanism might be bit stiff, so removing the door card and spraying the locking cable (the one that pushes the lock knob into the lock and unlock position on the interior door handle) with some Innox might work to loosen up the old grease and get it working again.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP
