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!

the black lines represent the position of the shifter when shifting from gear A to B, the movement pivot from the same original point, but the shifter knob travel, thus creating an angle from A to B, with a regular shifter, in order to obtain such angle the distance is greater, than if the shifter was shorter, represented by the red lines, so even though you still have to wait for the synchros to come up to speed, it's still quicker in distance, so your hands have to travel less distance, also explains why short shifters are stiffer, because you have less leverage.

Agreed. The single advantage is less physical movement to each gear-shift: that is where the speed gains are made. Evrything else remains status quo. And I believe that is why you need to install the spacers, because the fulcrum (point at which the lever pivots) has changed. So you need more height to ensure the cables that connect to the shifter are still level with their original position.

ps. Batman, thanks fot the clarification actually the boot does look a bit old and worn out compared to the brand new knob -I might look into it
