Core-Shifter for 3rd Gen V6

I’m also perfectly fine with the stock shifter. I have the TRD PRO shift knob installed, but I was also fine with the stock shift knob

I do like having longer throws on a truck

 

The stock shifter isn't bad, I find it a lot more tolerable with a weighted shift knob. Only real gripe for me is that I have to lean forward a bit when reaching for some of the gears.

 

Sounds like a sledge hammer approach to what my desire was. My main reason for going with a short shifter was to make reverse harder to get into. I had a few times at a stop light that I panicked shifted to first and went into reverse instead. I don’t like reverse being top right. So, enter a short shifter. No more accidental reverse when trying to slam it into 1st. I also do love the engagement and shorter throws. Don’t have to move my arm around much at all. So, it was a preference thing for me.

 

Your perceptions been skewed if you need to ask the question. TT represents a niche within a niche.

 

Lots of people mention shifting faster and rev hang as some sort of rational on keeping the stock shifter. The core for me has nothing to do with being able to shift faster, it's all about better feel. It's tight and feels amazing, it puts the shifter in a much better position. You never have to worry about grabbing reverse by accident which was a huge part of why I bought it.

Everyone who gets in my truck to try the shifter loves it. Keep it stock if you want thats fine, personally I could never go back to stock. The one thing I feel everyone should agree on is a weighted knob makes either shifter feel much much better.

 

I always check if the shift knob is heavier than stock when changing shift knobs

The same is fine, but I prefer heavier

 

Yep, found it too.
Can't justify paying $100 CAD after shipping, brokerage fees, currency conversion, etc, etc for a $5 part..

 

I like it a lot.
Do you have a link for the knob, or how can I get one?

 

Yikes!! It’s from Holley so I’m assuming a local auto parts store could get it to you for much cheaper.

 

Unfortunately it was a limited annual run made by @7r41lbr34k3r (Trailbreaker Customs). Seriously a work of art. You’d be hard pressed to find anything near the quality and craftsmanship of these knobs.

You're not wrong about the rev hang timing. Even with the stock shifter, I'm sometimes waiting a heartbeat for it to drop revs. I learned to drive manuals before rev hang was a thing for emissions compliance, and my auto-to-manual 4runner swap, which I kept the auto-ecu, had none either, so I was spoiled in that it was extremely predictable shift to shift.

None of the tunesrs seem to have figured out how to disable it, perhaps they don't want the epa to have more ammo to come at them with, but it woulf be nice to reduce it.

 

That was the first thing I asked ott about. They said so far no we haven't figured it out.

 

Yep, found it at a local parts store, $9 CAD with tax, about $6.25 USD.
Got an email that it should get here in 4-5 weeks.

Getting fed up with our Snow Tax, I understand paying 50% more, even double, but most everything is at least quadruple the price.

$250 CAD(200 USD) for a set of CV Axle boots, while it's $42 in the US..

 

Thanks. And, I only need to add another $391 to my cart to get their $24.99 flat rate shipping..

Found it for $9 at JB Powercenter.
Should be here in 5 weeks if all goes well. Or I'll get an email in 4.5 weeks that they can't get it.

 

Thats wild lol. I didn't check shipping just assumed being a Canadian site it would be cheap. My bad.

 

Takes a bit of work, like adding to Cart then viewing the cart. Then, Voila!

And, it's actually $395.01 that I need to add to get that awesome flat rate shipping, lol..

Yep, the world is going to sh!t.

 

I missed that part. I can't remember where I got mine but I paid 20 something

 

Pretty sure the guy in China that makes them gets paid a cpl cents. And for another dollar he'll raise than train a Pigeon to deliver it.

 

Got mine installed tonight. Major improvement, wish I had done this sooner! Those front two bolts were a bit of a pain with a 1/4” universal joint and shallow 12mm socket. Otherwise pretty straightforward.
