TRD Short Shifter Kit - HELP!


pirate125

Recommended Posts

I have just purchased a TRD short shifter kit and I know that this might sound like a stupid question but here goes:

Do I need to take the gearbox out of the car temporarily to install this kit or can this be installed with the gearbox in situ?

The reason that I have asked is because my short shifter kit came with the instuctions in Japanese :angry: and I just need to know this before I start as I think that I can manage everything else on my own

Thanks in advance

Pirate, if you bought the TRD shifter from me follow these instructions.

1. Unscrew gear knob.

2. Remove screws holding console in place & remove.

3. Remove spring clips holding cable ends to shift levers (2).

4. Remove square circlips holding cables to front of shifter (2).

5. Undo bolts securing shifter to floor (4).

6. Remove shifter.

7. Reverse procedure to install TRD shifter.

8. Have beer.

If you bought the shifter from somebody else.

1. Remove gearbox.

2. Sit & wonder why you didn't buy the shifter from the TRD Man.

6. Take a swig

7. Remove spring clips holding cable ends to shift levers (2).

8. Take a swig

9. Remove square circlips holding cables to front of shifter (2).

10. Mate arrives, so you down what's left and open a freshy and offer him one too as you run through what brilliant work you have done so far. And take several swigs in the prosess.
