Work good?

 

It works amazing. Specially with the brass bushing, shifting gears are more crisp and precise.

 

You beat me to it! Good write up...got my bushings, just waiting for the SS- their shipping is so sllloowww

Hahaha. By the way, ones you get yours make sure to take this clip out because the brass bushing will not go in with the short shifter on.

 

Thanks for the tip

Anytime bro...

 

$ 63.00 and 20 min of your time you get a best mod yet!

 

did you get the shifter only?

 

Yes, just the shifter because the bracket will not fit our car it made for the yaris.

Ok..while you have it apart, do this. Drill a 1/4" hole 1" away from the original pin. Tap it with a 5/16"-18 tap and mount it like the picture shows. This will cut your left-right movement by roughly 50%. Yeah, my car is a bit crispy. Welcome to Ohio weather, salt, and brine on the roads. Does wonders for a car.

 

Wow! I've never thought of that. I will it this weekend. Thanks for the info...

Nice write-up Jv, looks super easy.

 

This clip holds the the right cable. You have to remove it so you can properly install the SS and brass bushing. I did it without taking it off and it wont even sit properly.

The washer you talking about, you dont need any washer.

This is the clip attached to the cable bracket that holds the cable.

Did u put the clip back in after? Mine keeps popping off the track without it in

Yes, you have to put in back to hold the cable

The reason why i took off the clip from the bracket that holds the cable because it is much easier to install the SS and the brass bushing. After the SS and brass are in place, now you can put the clip back to secure the cable.

All installed (ss and brass bushings)!

Initial impressions are mixed. It definitely has some shorter throws, and it is SOLID. It does, however, take some more effort to shift. I has been a little tough to get it into 1st and R, but it could just need some breaking in. Threw some white lithium grease on everything for good measure. I'll update this in a week or so- i probably need some time to get used to it.


Jv- did u find it broke in after a little bit?


Btw- i have the trd carbon fiber knob- not sure if that is heavier than stock

Awesome bro, its been two weeks since i installed them. Literally i can shift with one finger. Give it time.

I do have the TRD carbon shift knob.

It felt much better today- could you reword the bushing tip? I didn't really follow.

Thanks!

On my car, the cable end is plastic and the stud on the transmission linkage is steel. When you shift gears, make sure the pivot point is the center stud and not the plastic cable end. You should not see the brass bushing rotating in the plastic cable end. When you drop the bushing on top of the stud, it should have spun freely. This was how the original rubber bushing was set-up.

If it is spinning on the plastic cable end, it will make it hard to shift and will wear out the cheap plastic in a short amount of time.
