Short Throw Shifter Kit, R150F for 3.0-liter

• "it didn't take very long, shifter is crisp and alot less movement ... Now I have alot of room between the shifter and the dash and it misses the t-case shifters" -GRW
  
  
• "The shifter reduced a lot of the slop in the gear pattern and neutral positions ... the install went easy." -boomtacoma01
  
  
• "Installed mine last night. Compared it with my coworkers '01 audi this afternoon and my throw is about an inch shorter. I failed to measure my original throw distance but the new 1st to 2nd is about 4in. I am very satisfied, it makes my 200k truck shift like brand new." -joslovandikai

• "she took my truck and she phoned me soon as she got to work. She can't believe how nice it is to shift, in her terms, she said it was 'like a new transmission or something' so there's her endorsement..woman stamp of approval." -JohnnyCanuck's Wife
  
  
• "Just installed one. Super quality. Next day shipping too." -Green Truck
  
  
• "Really nice, short throw! Been installed about six(6) months now. No/zero/zip mis-shifts or problems. ... No more banging knuckles on the dash and no more having the shifter hitting my thigh. Shifts are firm and positive. No more mushy feeling or 'floating' once in position. Nice product! $ well spent in my opinion." -ferg
  
  
• "The install was very fast and easy, maybe 25 minutes including the console ... The difference in shifting is like night and day. I Have a Mustang with a Steeda Triax shifter and this one feels just like it, very tight and positive ... If you love driving your Toyota you need one" -NMTOY
  
  
• "I love my R150f short throw" -Wainiha
  
  

Practical reasons...

• Body lift raises the cab high enough on the shift handle that your knuckles now strike your climate controls while engaging 1st, 3rd, and 5th gears.
• You are using a RockNob or another oversized shift knob that takes up so much space that your knuckle contacts your dash.
• Body lift raises the interior shift boot high enough on the shift handle that the shift handle's motion is restricted and difficult to engage or remain engaged in gear.
• Engine conversion repositions shift handle in a position that interferes with dash, or seats, or console.
• Transmission conversion repositions shift handle in a position that interferes with dash, or seats, or console.
• Custom tunnel limits shifter movement.
• Formula Toy or other Truggy frame bracing limits shifter movement.
• You want to mount your CB Radio in your dash but it will stick out too far and interfere with your shift handle.
• You've built a custom dual case triple shifter whose center handle interferes with your trans shift handle.
• Your crossmember and/or your engine mounts are badly worn and the excessive drive train movement causes your stock handle to press up against the interior shifter boot and/or cab and pop out of gear.
• You've installed bucket seats that elevate your sitting position and you'd like the shift handle to be 1-inch taller in the cab.
et cetera...

Some other reasons may be...

• You do a lot of snow, sand, and/or mud wheeling that require quick gear changes to maintain momentum.
• You drive an XtraCab with 120-inch plus or a CustomCab with a horrendous 140-inch plus wheelbase and are constantly making 3-point turns on the trail.
• You have a welded or spool rear locker and are constantly making 3-point turns on the trail.
• Your Rock Crawler is also your daily driver.
• You've got short arms.
• Your significant other drives your truck often and complains about the excessive throw of the stock shifter.
• You want to have more bling than your neighbor.
• You want to increase the resale value of your truck.
• You want to be a bad ass.
• You want to downshift like a boss.
et cetera...

Some issues this kit will remedy...

• Your stock pins and/or ball pivot is badly worn and you have a lot of shift handle slop.
• Your stock seat is badly worn and you have a lot of shift handle slop.
• Your stock socket is badly worn and you have a lot of shift handle slop.
• A previous owner bent up the handle and you'd like a better handle.
• A previous owner installed the wrong handle with the wrong bends causing interference with objects in your cab.
• Your shift handle boot is wasted or missing.
• The spring in your shift handle itself is broken and the shifter often comes loose.
• You've got a cracked shift base.
• The threads for your shift knob are stripped out or damaged.
• You are missing hardware on your current shifter base.
et cetera...
