Default Add new shift **** to the collection.

Whats up CL. I don't get to post on here as much as I'd like. School and work control my life as of now. Anyways, I purchased a TRD, brushed aluminum, Scion xD shift **** just a few days ago. Got it today. I know there are some guys on here that are looking for a decent set up (for s shift ****) and found this one to be nearly perfect. It's weighted and makes shifting much more of a breeze from the stock one. Mine is on a 1995, so let me know what you think. Here are some pictures. (Thread might get moved, but at least people will see this) You can see that there is a 1/4 inch separation between the bottom of the shift **** and the boot. Doesn't look bad as is, but nothing 30 seconds of creative thinking cant fix

I have also upgraded to Tanabe exhausts, and 1997+ tail lights. Will post more once I get my new wheels and coilovers in.

Any future plans? If so you should just consider making your own build thread and have this first post of yours be the jumping off point to that seeing as how you are already in the work for wheels and coilovers. Best to you, sir!

Nice shift ****.

Nice shift ****.
No build anytime soon. All my money goes to school and other expenses (gas, living expenses, blah blah blah). There will be one in the future, just not quite sure when. I have just enough extra money to get some nice new tires, shoes, and possibly a set of coilovers. I wish a build would be less spendy, but I want the best if I am going to do it.

I know this isn't very interesting to some, but thought a couple people might get some good info out of it, and I couldn't leave those couple people out. It's hard to make a name for yourself on these pages with so many great veterans in the game.

CL is full of censored words lol.

I actually like this shifter. I have the ebay leather TRD one that I had to manually thread onto the shifter. I've got it as far down as allowed and it has a larger gap to the shift boot than yours.

This Scion shifter would look great if someone painted their wood grain silver or overlayed brushed aluminum vinyl on it.

Yeah more details on this mystery manual gated shifter? Or were you somehow thinking this was an auto? I always liked the looks of a manual gated shifter
