short shifter questions - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #8628 11 posts Started by Digndoug
ok, i kow there has been a lot of topics, I read through them all and still have a few questions. Ok, im thinking about getting a short shifter, of course im looking for the best price. I was also thinking, that short shifters cause your shifts to get screwed up?? I know my bro has one on his civic, and i know that he sometimes grinds in reverse, also i was reading that, commer did the short shifter screw up clutch or what-not? or was it bad before? any ideas and anwsers or anything will hep thanks alot.
i like mine alot. easier to get into reverse. the first timei raced with it i missed 2nd. but that was the only time. you just have to get used to it. cauz ur hand moves quicker then ur foot.
I have the TRD shortshifter and I've loved it ever since it was installed. The only thing that took some getting used to was not getting my finger on the gigantic e-brake handle when I put it in 1st gear.
I love mine as well, and it has caused no problems for me. My clutch going out isn't an issue with my TRD QuickShifter. >wink.gif>

When u guys installed it, does the shifter lower than before, coz I am so confusing about what's the difference between Quick shifter and short shifter?
TRD's Quickshifter is a short shifter...they just call it a quick shifter. I didn't notice too big of a change in the height of the shift knob lever when I installed my TRD Quickshifter, but it makes a huge difference in the way your shifts feel. Once I get my car back I can meet you somewhere in Lynnwood on my way home from Bellingham or something and you can feel it for yourself if you'd like. Hopefully that will be within a couple weeks.

Yea, I may be try it, but I am so scare that I will crash ur car, HAHHAHA. So anyway, thx u guy always answer my question!!
By the way, I also read a post from u that was about how to change the color of the gauge cluster, but I have a question is when we finish changing the bulb for the cluster, how do we replace it to the original place, coz u just told us pop off the the plastic firstly, but how do I pop off it into there again??
