5-Speed Shifter Opinion

[91TurboDave]

Just to see who agrees with me:icon_bigg ....Who has a stock shifter, and who has not. Sorry, not for you Auto owners. BTW I shortened mine and I LOVE it-Redline MTL helps but the positive engagement feel is what I was craving over the "Slop-O-Softy" shifter AKA "Ye Olde Peg Leg". Just my 2 cents....opinions are like....just fill in yours!

I like the truck like gear change of the stock shifter (although mine is about an inch and a half shorter) remindes me I'm in a tank.:biglaugh:

I've got the SupraSport short shifter. I've had it so long I dont' remember what the stock shifter felt like, but I like the short shifter.

What he said.





Are we talking about R154s, or W58s? Because they shift differently.

Stock shifter works just fine for me.

That's how you know your Supra is a boy Supra, not a girl Supra.

c's short shifter here, it's not really any shorter length wise, just shorter throw.... alot shorter throw.

I'm cool with the stock shifter as well.
I can dig it

 

[Dragk913]

I have an automatic

If I ever get the money and go 5spd I'll come back and let you guys know which I prefer.

I shortened mine. I need a larger shift knob for it really. I'm driving a friend's N/A with a GTE swap and a W58. I gotta say, the stock shifter feels much better. Not near as sloppy, although i'm sure new shifter bearings would help the R154's.

I didn't replace my shifter I just took off the long addition with the vibration rubber insert, then I turned down and re-threaded the end and threw on a carbon shifter nob. Of course new shifter bushings and Redline MTL now I love the way it shifts...short throw, positive engagement feel, just a touch of rathchet feel (race car guy, my preference) and it looks cleaner IMO.

You should try my R154 with 80w-90 when it's -20C outside.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrr....CHUNK....rrrrrrrrrr.

Haha, I love the feeling too.



I think I have a bent shift fork though. 1sn and 2nd are bitches to get in gear.
