Has anyone ever used something like this? If so how hard would they be to put in and relative cost compared to that auction? |

I installed mine. It was a piece of cake. Don't buy those though - one of the bushings for our cars are bigger. Go here:
Speed Source And, buy the "big Toyota" kit or something like that. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

I had difficulties shifting when I bought mine so I was looking to solve a problem. If your stock bushings are worn, these will clean up that "slop" feel. One of mine was VERY warn so it helped some but it did not clear up my shifting problems. After trying about 6 other things, I found out my problem was worn motor mounts. The engine was moving so much that my linkage wasn't lining up straight - particularly on down shifts. I now have poly-eurethane mounts and all of my problems are gone. It ALMOST feels like a honda shifter...smiles.

I also urithaned my mounts and it helped. I'll take a look at the bushings tomorrow to see if that could be part of my problem. I bought a short shifter to try and help shifting as well.

The TRD one I got made shifting a bit "notchier". -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

The TRD one I got made shifting a bit "notchier". I bought a 7th gen shifter from ebay. I cheaped out. I would have liked to get the TRD one because it's the best as far as distance from steering wheel. $30 compared to $150, I just can't handle that. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
