Hi guys.
OK, I've taken delivery of my new TRD quickshifter, so need to install it. I'd like to do it myself but I'm basically a rank noob at DIY So I guess a good starting question is what tools might I need If anyone can provide a bit of a walkthrough (or point me to one) that would be appreciated Cheers! b |

Rusty just did his recently and posted about it. I'm envious of you guys quickshifters ![]() Its all on how u shift and drive like I tell people manual transmissions is not for everybody. "Anyone who says that a short shifter has caused excess wear on their gearbox needs to learn how to shift gears properly." -Quoted from the link Busting the "shortshifters cause excess synchro wear" myth <<Clicky -------------------- "To Protect And To Serve The Wealthy" -POLICE

"Anyone who says that a short shifter has caused excess wear on their gearbox needs to learn how to shift gears properly." -Quoted from the link Busting the "shortshifters cause excess synchro wear" myth <<Clicky Haha okay, The thing is when you select the gear (Especially in our cars) you bring the shifter up to the position of the gear and gently guide it in, you still have to wait a split sec for the syncro to spin up the gear before it accepts it happily, otherwise it crunches, This is regular street driving. If you can crunch a gearbox regular shifter, then how is a shorter throw going to allow you to shift quicker without crunching the gearbox? When you're on the track, you're going to want to shift as fast as possible which means either way waiting for the syncro or forcing it in, short shift or not? Does this mean it's only for aesthetics and not entirely functional? -------------------- Mike W
