Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior short shifter...

hey guys i got a question, i'm thinkning of putting a short shifter in my car, the TRD one just because i want to keep my warranty. What do you guys think of it? would it worth the money doing so? (how much would it be for labor?) Would it mess up my car? Please let me know what you guys think thx.

from what i have heard, the trd shifter is the highest ss and therefore it's not really different.

it would be $0 for labor because it is very easy to install (about a 2 on a scale of 1-10)

it wouldn't mess up your car--your celica can handle much faster shifts than what could phyically be possible for you to do.

i have a b&m..and i love it. i also don't think it voids your warranty anyway because it has absultely nothing to do with modifying your engine.

so getting something other then trd would not void my warranty? if so what is a good short shifter?

TRS isn't really worth it IMO...Get TWM

B&M short shifter

Nope, TWM!

get twm its easy to install(unless yo do it in 20 degree weather like me) has better Performance then the trd one, also it wont mess up your car at all if its done right which is easy, only problem i had doing it was getting the wires off the plastic thingy to get the Spacers in.

LOL

the trd is a nice shifter its a lil longer but smoother.

b&m has the shortest throws

twm has teh shorts length.

if you car is 02 or newer or has the wider gates then no the trd will not keep yoru warantee.

also anyshortshifter can void yoru warranntee if any part of the shifter mechism breaks.

TRD is the smoothest and has the cleanest throw.

b&m has the shortest throw, but with that comes an increased risk of damaging your linkage.

TWM is the shortest rod, but it very hard to get used to (so they say)

A short shifter will void your tranny warranty. Linkage, gears, syncros, etc.

i have the trd ss and i love it it's easy to install but if you want to keep ur warrenty ur going to have to have the dealership instal it and they'll charger you a lot im not sure how much though

twm tooke me maybe 2 miles of city driving to get used to, at first its hard to believe your really in gear

If you could do it all over again, would you still get the twm?

if you going for looks get the TWM
if your going more for Performance get the B&M

i have TRDSS.. its nice and i think its worth it.. its def quick & smooth but not that short. i like it

by the way, Competition Toyota in Long Island wanted $450.00 to install it, according to them it was a 5 hour job.. lol... i installed it myself in 1 hour and i dont have any experience... Stay away from StealerShips.

without a question yes

The SS will not void your warranty

Especially a TRD one .

I have a TWM bought it at PTuning.com I had it in my hands 21 hours after I payed for it by paypal took 1 hour to install If I did another one it would take me about 30 minutes

but remeber the trd is only going to be covered under warrantee if it is a early 01 or older. anything iwth the wider gates and it will void the warrantee

what do you mean it will destroy ur linkage? because i plan on buy a b&m soon!

I've got the TRD SS and I love it. It won't mess up your car, or affect your warranty, labor time shouldn't be to bad, unless you take it where I did You could probably even do it yourself, pretty easy.

It is definately worth the money

how does it mess up your linkage??
