Legends6spd

Bean, I got the **** after I read your post from way back...
Mine is a red one (its just a sticker you put on top), but the only thing is that it says 6spd on my. Of course, I don't need to read it to use it, i'm just afraid for those few moments someone else's driving my car, they'll be confused (lexus service mechanic or a valet)...

It's metric 12x1.5 I rethreaded my shift **** a while back ...

thanks wmulli.

You can probably get away with doing this, I don't see any harm coming from it, but the better solution would be to get genuine short shifter. This will not only reduce your lever height, but it shortens the throw as well. TRD makes one for the 95-96 models, but there's one available for pre 95 models as well (I just don't know the brand).

wmulli, i've been looking for a short shifter for the pre 95's for about 4 months now and i haven't had any luck..

wmulli

I know they're pretty rare I see them on eBay on a pretty regular basis. Set up an automatic search for one an then sit back and wait. You could also try posting on the Supraforums (if they ever come back online )

mrshabo

i also see it on ebay but i have no clue if that really works or it's just a hack job.

wmulli

I know what you mean. I know real short shifters exist for the pre 95's 'cause my buddy had one on his N/A Supra 5 spd. As to whether the ones you see on eBay are genuine or not I can't really speak to that as I've only dealt with my '96. Maybe just buy one where the seller offers the satisfaction guarantee???

mrshabo

lol if there was a satisfaction guarantee i woulda bought that short shifter already. The reason why i haven't bought this short shifter is because it cost around 80 bucks and it's a regular guy selling it.. Not even a company. I don't know whether to trust this guy or not. It provides a picture but i don't know how to tell if it is good or not. Also wmulli do you know how long the threaded section is on the lever?
