7th gen TRD short shifter compatible? Options

[azian_advanced]

i've read about how many people have chosen TWM 7th gen short shifters and others have the 6th gen TRD quickshifter kits. my question is: would a 7th gen TRD quick shifter kit work fine in a 6th gen?

the reason i ask is because the 7th gen TRD quickshifter kits are $50+ cheaper than the 6th gen ones.

this is a HOT topic! lotta debate. I myself chose the 7th gen short shifter, works great i love it

i've tested out the TWM short shifters for the 7th gen in a friends 6th gen and i did not like the feel at all.. it was too notchy and clunky imo... and the stick looked like it was in 3rd gear instead of in neutral..

it seems that the shifter stick from the 7th gen fits the 6th gen fine, provided that the spacers are there.. but the TRD quick shift kits include the whole plastic assembly and i want to know if that mounts to the 6th gen. i'm guessing it won't though... if not, then i'll just save up for a TRD shifter for the 6th gen..

id be interested in if the 7th gen TRD one works too because im kinda sick of my TWM..it is really clunky.

bringing this back from the dead, but did any of you guys try it? Has anyone else tried this? Because I'm game if this works.

Dont think it'll work, the 7 gen chasis is completely diff to the 6gen's...trying to locate a 6gen TRD SS myself.

i just installed my 7th gen TRD shifter a month ago, works fine and no modding, it fits fine to the chassis

[azian_advanced]

Can anyone else verify that?.. I'm stick of hitting the cigarette charger for my gps when I drive. haha.

You're kidding the trd quickshifter actually fits with no modding?

Hold on are you talking about the 7th gen trd quick shifter or just the 7th gen short shifter?

[azian_advanced]

although the 7th gen and 6th gen have different chassis, doesn't mean the shifter assembly would be any different... i got his PM and said that he has the 7th gen TRD quickshifter assembly, plus his profile says it is, so...

[bccentaur3]

SWEET, thanks for posting that here. Dude this means we are saving more money WOOT. Hey what do you gys think about those metal shifter bushings found on ebay? Do you guys think that will work with the quickshifter or do we even need such a thing, because we have a trd product?

[azian_advanced]

the bushings should come with the trd shifter.

[bccentaur3]

okay sounds good.

digging it up again...so does the 7th gen trd quick shifter work?

so far only one member can confirm that it works..

[BloodyStupidDave...]

It definately works. There is debate about how well it works. I remember reading a review by a board member (here or elsewhere) that in their opinion it felt a bit sloppy. But then others have said the same about the original and about ebay short shifters.
