What is the best plan of action to get a short shifter for my Sc with the w58?

 

W58 can be source out using application found in MK2 5 speed, MK3 5 speed non-turbo, MK4 5 speed non-turbo.

reviving this...need clarification.

What short shifter kits are best for **1997** *5spd* **SC300's**. Ive seen both of the MVP ones which are the "C's short throw shifter for NA Supra 5spd" and the "TRD Short Shifter for NA Supra 5spd" and both say that its for 1993 to 1998 models. Any input appreciated. Thanks.

 

anybody??????

 

Well I didn't buy a short throw but I did separate my stock one. Then cut the threads off the top section and welded them back onto the lower section. But even with doing that, it ended up way too short haha! It was something that the MKIII supra guys did, and I had done to mine, so I figured id try it on my SC. Not a fan.

 

^^ came out too short

 

dayum thats hella short...but is the throw from gear to gear actually shorter?

 

The only short shifter for our cars are the ones you stated previously. The C's short shifter (which I will probaly get) and the trd one. I would get the C 's shifter with a TRD **** and call it a day. That is the only way to get any shorter throws.

By cutting the shifter and rethreading. It will not make any of your shift throws shorter. Just lowers the position of ur shifter. I would want a short shifter for the shifting purposes.. not the height.

 

Yea same here man. I guess ill go with the C's and a TRD shift **** Thanks for clearing it up. its an easy install correct?

 

I personally like the stock height of my shifter, I usually lean my wrist on it while cruising on the highway.. hehehe

 

but we arent talking about height..we are talking about the distance of throw from gear to gear.

 

Yeah, but still in general it lowers the height :P

My old integra had a short shifter, i dunno, wasn't a fan..

 

Ya separating it like i did doesn't actually shorten the throw but with it being lower you are moving your hand less distance. So it does feel shorter . . . . in a way. but I wouldn't suggest it. I think I just want to go back to stock shifter with my Greddy Counterweight on there. It feels great and actually gives you something to get a hold of when your going for a gear quick. Unlike now where i have to dig for my shifter

 

r154 short shifters will work on w58 fyi...

 

^^^^^
Do you have any more info on that?

From what i understand this will work on early model sc/w58 if your looking to go cheaper
