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 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'm highly confident that they're the same but if you wanna check take it apart and see if it looks like this.

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.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
