having a longer lower shaft works on the lines of reducing the angle of shift so the distance/throw of the shift is also reduced and that is a quick shifter (not short shifter) problems arise with these kits by over zealous gear changes when people force the selector too far causing damage to any number of the components, the 7th gen shifter doesn't fit properly and are horrid to drive, i'd take standard shifter over a 7th gen shifter any day, until a proper short shifter is released (that doesn't cost the earth) for the 6th gen i'd run standard or chopped

the TRD shifter i saw looked exactly the same as the standard one except for a short top shaft and the bends were different, maybe it was a fake confused.gif
