so at first i was thinking about getting the twm. but after searching for reviews it seems like:
a) the twm is more for looks than function, shortens the knob, so a shorter hand movement, but the same pivot point. b) the twm 7th gen fits the 6gc and is actually more functional because of increased pivot height. c) there are several off-brand kits on ebay for the 7th gen and many are supposed to be very good. this one maybe: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Short-Shifter-TOYO...494&vxp=mtr or maybe this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEGAN-SHORT-THROW-...daa&vxp=mtr someone mentioned the purple spacers on a previous thread. but all the ebay links are gone now (as these will be soon too) but perhaps i can take a photo when/if i get one and post a more permanet review. anyways, if anyone here can offer advice on which one to get i'd appreciate it. looking mostly for a quicker shift. slightly lower might be sort of nice too (hand just feels a little high when i shift right now). really don't want to bump it into the handbrake. thanks in advance |

TRD is really the best one. I used to have a twm and it was too short. The trd is perfect.

QUOTE (lagos @ May 16, 2012 - 5:23 PM)  TRD is really the best one. I used to have a twm and it was too short. The trd is perfect. Well, it looks like if i get one of the few remaining trd ones it'll cost 300 bucks or so. I already have a 40 dollar 7th gen one which i've been hearing mixed things about. I'll toss for the trd if this doesn't work out well. But does anyone know what kind of greese i should use when i install it? This post has been edited by Zimluura: May 17, 2012 - 2:18 AM |
