Would anyone recommend a TRD Quickshifter kit over TWM Performance short shifter TWM Short Shifter (94-99) ? I want a shorter throw as well as a shorter stick because right now the stock one too long to have a sport feel to it and I'm not sure if the Quickshifter kit would do that for me. Thoughts?

TWM makes just the lever and you use your original base. The TRD one is engineered to just take your old entire shifter assembly out, and replace it with the entire TRD peice.

So the "lever" on the TRD peice would be shorter then the stock peice and not stick up so high?

i'm gonna go to the toyota dealership and see if i can get myself a TRD 3pt strut brace.
and the answer to your question is that the TWM short-shift kit will give you a shorter stick and shorten your throw by 35-40% as for the TRD Quickshift kit, is the entire assembly, it'll only shorten your throw but not shorten your stick. It's designed for racers who need to shift quickly but need the shorter throw than OEM and get their hand back onto the wheel right away.

Has anybody confirmed if the TRD part number for the 3 point strut bar is still active and the part availible? I read all these posts about people checking "tomorrow" but doesn't look like there is any confirmation.

Just to confirm the TRD strut bar part number is valid. I remember someone posting that it takes a long time for the TRD parts to arrive? Mine will be here Tuesday, so that doesn't seem too long of a wait to me.

how much did you pay? I think I might go order one now too. Did they say that there is a limited number left or anything like that?

MaskedMan

I paid $240 which is about the same from Toyota world. I saved a few bucks. (yes Toyotaworld lists it as $223, but then add in the $19 shipping and it comes out to like $242) Idk what the wait is from Toyotaworld though, my dealership gave me an exact date the part will be arriving, they've always been good with that. For some reason though, it seems like the price of Toyota parts have gone up recently. They didn't mention anything about it being in limited quanities or having to have it ship in from Japan or anything. Ofcourse they didn't have it in stock, but I think a 4 day wait is very reasonable. It only took them 2 days to get my GTfour hood and all the grills in, I was amazed.
Valo mentioned that it took him 7 months to recieve TRD parts from Toyotaworld. That's just ridiculous! I guess maybe I get parts so soon because I order from Longo Toyota, the world's largest dealership?

just an update regarding my parts. 2 of the 3 things i ordered finaly came in, but the last one still hasnt come in from japan. So my order is standin on....7 months now. And thouse are for small peices from toyota world. But apparently one of the peices i ordered is going discontinued after this last shipment, so my order might not go through.

Anyone have any experience with that quickshift kit? Any opinions on it as opposed to stock?

I want a TRD knob, plus I was looking into a short shifter, looks like that would solve both of my problems.

That's the only one to go to. That's Champion and they have everything. But you do need the part number cuz they won't find it otherwise.

I'd love to get one soon because I have to replace both the front bumper and passenger side fender due to them being bondo'd together, and they're cracking where they meet.

someone said that it was discontinued.. but if you can try contacting JapanParts.com as they still have it listed on their site.
if you can get a hold of one, it won't be cheap.
