WHAT SHIFT KNOB YOU ROCKING? - 6G Celicas Forums
You sir, have good taste. LOL!!!! I have the same one but black!

I enjoy the fact that because of its height I can shift with a beverage in my "cupholders" and not really worry

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

had a TRD shift knob and switched to a OEM one, I still have the TRD, but I prefer how the OEM feels
Aren't those "Bubble" shift knobs the completel opposite of what a Shrot throw does?

They're for looks, not short throws.

Why would the knob have anything to do with a short throw set up? 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.

I will be swapping out to this ^^ when my car is back on the road.

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?

Sorry im still rocking the stock auto trans knob WHATS UP!!! Haha hey whip cream celica what mirror controls r those out of?
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...

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?

I really dig it. I was invited to Microsoft's roadmap conference up in Redmond a couple weeks ago and got to play with this Samsung Series 7 Slate (what an alliteration!)... So I bought a few and installed the consumer preview on it. It's snappy and the UI is nice. Remote desktop is MUCH better now, and Metro UI is great... there are problems with little things that go along with it being an unfinished OS, but it's promising. Microsoft is putting out a lot of nice programs and new features in the next year or so that as a Sys Admin I can't wait for.

Diego, it is just a 7th gen short shifter (not the whole assembly).
