Trd Short Shifter

[drz4agecorolla]

hey guyz im bak with another question

will a trd shortshifter for a 98 corolla fit my 94 corolla?
i think they do since there isnt much difference between both of them, but i just want to c if im correct

[REN69]

the 98s were a totally different model compared to the 94s (93-97 were the same) it may or may not fit, I can't recall if anyone has done this before.

Talking about 98 shortshifter, I still haven't received mine, order was placed more than 2 months ago with a local dealer. drz4agecorolla I suggest you just make your own.

EDIT: ... and only came in this morning. (Aug 7)

After 2 months wait, here's my TRD quickshifter:



drz4agecorolla: The label says Corolla 92-99 so my guess to your question is yes.

94_rolla_guy: The dimensions you wanted:

From bottom of ball to tip of shift cable pivot: 85mm
From center of shift lever ball to center of select cable pivot: 43mm
select cable lever pivot point to select cable, center to center: 78mm
Select cable travel from center to extremes: 25mm

This thingy installed, with the obligatory piggy...



The TRD shift knob is part of the kit.

yeah but the problem with those knobs is the coating rubs off after awhile, see if there is a treatment to protect it

What dealer did you goto?

Do you know if they take orders for TRD Japan parts too?

I've been searching forever to find one in Toronto that can source these parts without much luck

Buurin, What is the button to the right of your 4 way flashers?

[SlowRolla37]

my guess is that button would be cruise control. it only came on the le's im pretty sure. how much did that short shiter cost. and wast here a noticeable amount of reduction on your throws.

It's the rear defogger switch.

A suitably loaded CE or S or a VE with touring package would also get you cruise control.

The shifter cost me C$210 plus tax.

The throw is shorter, but sometimes I have trouble shifting into 1 or 2. Could be a tranny thing. Next I guess is to replace the shifter bushing on tranny end with roller blade bearings

[SlowRolla37]

yea. a lot of the short shifts i have drove are really hard to find the gears in. im not sure about other gen 8's but my gears are cut so clear its not even funny. i have no trouble at all getting into my gears. its like butter. so i didnt know if i even would need a short shifter.

[japraptor]

where might one go to find a short shifter for one of the newer models (an '08 really) are there good sites that i might peruse?
