TRD Vs. Stock Shifter Comparisons, Thought I'd take some pics Options

[Fastbird]

Ok, here we go:


TRD is on the Left, Stock is on the right. VERY similar housings.


Here you can see the difference in the height of the stick.


Here you can see the difference in the shape of the stick. Note the location of the retainer for the top of the boot. It's lower on the TRD stick because the shifter knob sits MUCH lower on the stick than the stock one does.


This is a good shot of how much is taken off the top of the TRD stick.


Lastly, you can see here that the ball end of the stick has been lowered. Essentially, the TRD stick has been shortened and bent slightly differently than the stock, but more importantly the pivot point has been lowered which has a dramatic effect on the shortening of the throws.

Just some FYI information I thought would satisfy some curious minds and some pics I hadn't seen posted nor explained. Just hoping to help out here.

That would be one very deep shift knob for that too be true The plastic retainer is too low on your TRD shifter, probably got pushed down at some point along the way. You can adjust it to fit what ever style knob you want. It will likely be the same distance from the threads to the retainer as the stock one goes.

BTW, don't forget about the metal spacers that go on the bottom of the shifter housing. I was reinstalling mine a while back and forgot about them, needless to say it didn't work too well. The end of the stick will bottom out against the floor
