You sir, have good taste. LOL!!!! I have the same one but black!
 There will probably be a couple members stopping by this thread, hating on it 'tho.. I enjoy the fact that because of its height I can shift with a beverage in my "cupholders" and not really worry  9K??

I used to rock the pink dildo shift knob.
 Only had it about a week. Currently using a TRD replica.

Aren't those "Bubble" shift knobs the completel opposite of what a Shrot throw does?

A proper short throw set up has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the height of the knob.  Momo weighted knob w/ 7th gen short throw. QUOTE (richee3 @ Mar 21, 2012 - 6:36 AM) Only had it about a week.

Well if your hand was at the top it would have to travel farther from 1st to 2nd, then if it had a OEM or shorter shift knob.

That is where OEM mirror controls are if you do not have Power Windows.
My setup - stainless steel that I turned on a manual lathe at my old work. After getting the knob made and tapped for Toyota's thread pitch I had it nitrided, which gives it the gunmetal finish. Weighs in at just over 1.5lbs. Excuse the iPhone shots...

Well if your hand was at the top it would have to travel farther from 1st to 2nd, then if it had a OEM or shorter shift knob. Would it not? Thats actually a common misconception. With that logic; simply chopping the top off the shift rod would achieve the same effect. Its not about how the shift "feels" (your hand movement on the shifter), its about changing the fulcrum point so that more of the distance traveled is happening in the "background" so to speak...

Sweet thanks Ill take a look.
Maybe I got that idea from hearing about peaopl sawing off the top of their stock shifters to make a "short shifter" I guess thats not actually shortening the throw then, correct? -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
