How to install TRD quickshifter Options

[Quidam]

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!

Rusty just did his recently and posted about it.

I'm envious of you guys quickshifters I just wonder how much quicker you could wear out your syncros with one of those.

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

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?

I only have that crunch problem when my tranny is cold but once its warmed up it shifts fast and smooth as butter but I've never driving a real st205 so I don't know how different the e154f (I think thats what the st205 tranny code is lol) is to the s54.

You can crunch any gear box by forcing the shifter in faster than the syncromesh can get the next gear up to speed, that's what i'm getting at.

I've had a mint 73,000km S54 in my old SS-III ST202 and yes, it is very easy, compared to my 150,000km E154F, but thats besides the point.

So what I'm wondering is how the short shifter makes a functional difference if you still wish to avoid crashing the next gear in. The only difference I can see is the travel across neutral, is that where it makes the shifts quicker? and not between the start of the gear selection to when its fully in place?

Just trying to understand...
