Engine TWM Corolla Short Shifter

TWM Corolla Short Shifter

Has anyone installed this short shifter? http://www.twmperformance.com/shortshifters/toyotashortshifters/toyotacorollashortshifters.htm
I ordered one a couple days ago and will receive it sometime next week.
I am contemplating installing it myself.

How hard do you think the install might be?

The install .PDF is for the 9th gen...hope it is similar

Everyone that has installed the TWM has liked it. But I know the Celica shifters fit the 8th gen Rollas, and they're much cheaper.

Install is not that hard if you have some basic automotive skills, the feeling is amazing

I bought mine off of ebay. Fidanza (possibly knockoff). Came with solid base bushings, and it's been great for the past 2 years. I think I paid somewhere around $25 shipped.

same here man, were they purple bushings because thats a fidanza thing, i love it, i dont think ill ever be able to drive a stick without a shorty now

i bought one of the ebay ones for my car

didnt even fit peace of crap

i installed it. i like it.

but now you need a new engine :O

I installed it on my 04 S and man what a difference! I absolutely love it!, I installed it myself too, it wasn't too hard. Just gotta pay attention to detail and be careful

Hah I definitely feel I overpaid... Nice, i'll give it a try before I cave and let the local mechanic do it.

Should I switch to a heavier shift knob?

I am using the leather wrapped and stitched TRD one which is lighter than the stock knob. I have read that a heavier knob make shifting more solid.

What knobs do ya'll use?

I like the feel of the TRD knob myself. I've gone through two others and went back to it but neither was a weighted shift knob.

The installation is time consuming but not hard. It's just the fact that you have to remove the kick panels, glove box, and both center consoles just to get to the shifter. Everything interlocks to that trim piece on top of the shifter.

I got on my 07 Civic, TWM short shifter, base and cable bushings. To finish it off I add a 400 gram Skunk2 shift knob, I can shift with 1 finger

wait a tick.. didn't I install it.. oh wait, I helped..

i called you after i pulled it halfway out =]

i got TRD. much nicer, lil expensive but worth it. lol
8th gen FTW!!

i have a weigted knob on mine, i love it

if you can even find them. and the only difference is that you get the basket and bushigs with it. i bought my own bushings and used my stock basket..feels the same as a trd short shifter.

Wow that was a grueling install..so...many..body...panels. Feels great though

me too. Greddy
