Rossco, some serious **** you have there for lil red mate. iil be waiting to hear what she sound like with the trumpets in it.
i noticed the gear knob and shifter mechanism at the toyota winterfest.
whats the shifting like with it, might give it a go on the sw20.
could you possibly tell me where you got it from.
cheers

ha. glad ya's like. :)
 
The short shift kit was from ebay (UK). Its the one with the blue shifter spacer/drop plate. pretty average overall, but cant complain for the price. Is one of the only short ****s kits available anyway, and i only wanted it for the short chrome shifter itself.
The 4" extension is from Ebay (UK), I then had the 8" made by a guy in the US. Anywhere with a Lathe would be able to do the same though.
 
despite the short shifter, the throw with the 8" extension is still stupidly long. i don't mind it, as it helps get it into gear on cold mornings (the gearbox rebuild was not even 30,000km ago, and i still reckon it was a spectacularly crap effort).
having the knob high, means its easy to drop you hand from the wheel and bash it quickly into the next gear. The awkward height makes you want to keep your hands on the wheel, rather than resting your arm on the console.. which is definitely better.
 
 
i also cant wait to get all the intake gear on. :)
 

yeah, after installing the short shifter on mine the gear changes are defenitly worse, was so much better with a stock shifter, might look into it when i get some time.
cheers
