TRD Short Throw

Post by baggio95 »

Has anyone picked up a TRD short throw for the GT or base? I was wondering if the improvement is worth it? Thanks

I have the TWM short shifter. From what I've heard it's better than the TRD. I installed the TWM a few weeks after I purchased my GT and don't remember noticing quite an improvement. The stock shifter is squishy due to the plastic shifter frame and rubber bushings. I mounted the TWM steel frame to the steel on the dash/chassis and it's a little rough, would like soem thin poly bushings to get rid of the harshness.

Very easy. The only tool you may consider specialty required would be a vice to press a pivot fitting from the stock shifter onto the new one.
