FS: CA - JDM/TRD Short Shifter, Version 1 Options

[razor7]

Hey Guys,
The shifter has been used (by me, I bought it used) since about August 13th 2009 within my car, 6gc. I bought it on eBay with the original box and instructions (in Japanese) which will be included with the sale. I'll also be parts washing everything and re-greasing all of the moving parts - making it ready to install.

There is only one difference between this one and the normal "JDM/TRD short shifter" and that is I removed the leather from the knob itself. When I bought it, the leather was falling apart with holes it in. I removed it from the knob, and use it without any leather covering - it's the exact same as a derlin TRD knob. I also removed the TRD badges and put them back on the knob in the original place. You'd never notice a difference except for the leather. Shift knob is in good condition and looks fine.

I believe this is a V1 knob, so it's 40% shortened throw. This definitely helps, but the even bigger improvement is the metal shims, they make the gearbox more precise when shifting. You feel the walls of the gates more, and know where they are placed. You can't just throw them haphazardly into a gate like with a standard shifter, but once you figure out proper placement, your shifting speed will increase.

If you have any questions, let me know. I'm located in the Bay Area, if anyone wants to pick it up, I'll knock off a little bit of money.

$150

Is the shifter bent to the right to clear the hand brake? Can I see a picture installed w/o the shift boot?

I have a few other people interested. I'm going by PMs first, then replies to the thread.

The shifter is bent to avoid the hand brake. I've never had a problem with it hitting or even coming close...

I don't have any pictures of it without the boot installed, but if everyone else falls through, I'll get one to you.

Thanks,
