short shifter, does the 7gc short shift actually work with a 6gc? Options

[garin]

i went to my local toyota dealership and got a price for for the 1994-1999 shortshifter, it was $220. so i was wondering how the 7gc shifter worked in our cars. i know some have done it. how much custom work is needed, and does it still do it's job as a shortshifter?

IDK if that's something you can go aftermarket on, but when I searched "short shifter" in Parts & Accessories on eBay Motors, specifying Toyota Celica 2000-2008 in the left column, I got 34 items

yeah, well, i want to do either trd or twm, just because i know the name. on ebay it seems that a lot of the stuff is off brand.

if what you are worried about is a brand name than spend the $220 for the 94-99 shortshifter and feel comfortable knowing that you spent the extra money on a part that was designed for your car

i have the no name 7th gen short shifter and have had no problems with it in the two years it has been in, and it was easy to install too

do what makes you feel comfortable with the modification
