Are there any noticeable differences between the Ebay 7th gen shortshifter and the authentic TRD 6th gen quickshifter?

I agree with Manny 100%. there is a massive difference between the two. the 7th gen shifter is very notchy, but some people like it like that. I've never had a stock shifter for comparisson to that but when comparing the 7th gen and the TRD shifters the TRD wins in quality and smoothness hands down. although, that's why it's much more expensive. -------------------- |
