Aren't those "Bubble" shift knobs the completel opposite of what a Shrot throw does?

Why would the knob have anything to do with a short throw set up? A proper short throw set up has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the height of the knob.

Only had it about a week. Currently using a TRD replica.



I will be swapping out to this ^^ when my car is back on the road.

Well if your hand was at the top it would have to travel farther from 1st to 2nd, then if it had a OEM or shorter shift knob.
Would it not?

Thats actually a common misconception. With that logic; simply chopping the top off the shift rod would achieve the same effect.

Its not about how the shift "feels" (your hand movement on the shifter), its about changing the fulcrum point so that more of the distance traveled is happening in the "background" so to speak...

Here, this might be able to explain it better than I can: http://www.twmperformance.com/faq/#1
