Levoc is the only one that fits that I know of. It's pretty crappy. Do a search.

i was thinking about getting the greddy but my friend has the veilside... they look identical so i'm looking for something else. I like the trd but i'm sort of looking for a metal shift ****. Any others? I was thinking about getting a Audi shift ****.. Not the stocks but aftermarket.. They look very nice. The company that makes them is UUC or UCC i believe. It's the RK2 model. What do you guys think?

The only problem I might see happening is that the thread and pitch for the shift ***** might diffeer from audi and toyota. Other than that they look great.-pdang

I have the exact same Greddy shift **** that is in bambooluv's picture. Got it very recently. Before I tried a TRD cicular ****. The problem with that one and the Audi **** you see above is that it doesn't travel down far enough - leaving too much of the stick showing. The Greddy one fits most of the stick and the bootie covers the rest.
I must say, that the Greddy know actually HELPS the shift. It's just a tad shorter than stock but the shifts are easier - especially the 4th to 5th shift. Reason being I think is that the stock shifter's shape doesn't fit the 4th -> 5th shift because it's more of a diagonal movement and the shifter's head is more featured for front back movement.

I would not recomend that. The factory guys know what they are doing when spending multi million dollars, and countless hours to design a car. If you hack away you might lose structural strength and eventually end up harming the shifter and your well being if driving. My 2 pennies.-pdang
