for you guys at the begining of this thread who claim there is no short throw for a pre 1995 sc300....there is.
i have one in my car - no issues with fitment.

I think any MK3 W58 short shifter will work with pre 95's.. and 95+ use MK4 w58 short shifter..
so anyone 92-94 5spd get a NA mk3 short shifter and 95+ use NA mk4 short shifter right?
I've got a NA mk4 TRD short shifter in my 95.

"Why is a heavier shift **** better you may ask yourself? The answer is simple and relates to basic physics. A heavy shift **** carries with it more kinetic energy and has greater momentum than a less massive (lighter) shift **** travelling at the same speed. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed. Momentum is defined as the product of the mass times the velocity of an object. Since kinetic energy and momentum are directly proportional to an objects mass, the more massive (heavy) an object is the more kinetic energy it carries with it through it's movement, and it has a greater momentum than a less massive object travelling at the same speed.
This theory applies to a shift **** in the following manner. While shifting, the shift **** is set in motion by the driver. While the shift **** is travelling between gears, it has a certain velocity and carries with it kinetic energy. The additional kinetic energy the heavy shift **** carries with it helps it to engage in to the next gear. Essentially, the shifter with a heavier shift **** is more "difficult" to stop because of the added kinetic energy, which actually helps it engage in to the next gear with less direct effort from the driver. The net result is a smoother engagement in to the next gear with less effort put in from the driver on the shift **** to get it in to gear. It is for this reason that a heavier shift **** feels much smoother to shift than a shifter with a stock shift ****."
