Just a reminder to everyone that these are available to order now. I keep thinking about going back to my Megan shifter, but I always decide to keep the NST SSK because I love how smooth and easy the shifts are. You owe it to yourself to get one of these for your car.

Want to meet the minds behind the products many of you have on your cars?
How about a chance to check out the NST showroom and possibly walk away with $100 in CASH?!?!

Ok so I did the install, and it went very smoothly, I think it took me like 40 minutes or something, and I was being pretty slow and careful. on a sidenote, I also got the lightweight crank pulley put on.
I noticed a huge difference in shift lengths immediately and I actually like how the shifts feel a little stiffer and not a loose and wobbly as before. I also like the way that it is stock lenth, as opposed to the shorter shifters. The super short length is what kept me away from those for such a long time. The quality was good as well.
With the pulley, I didn't notice a huge difference, but in the lower rpms (2-3k) I definitely notice that the engine just has an esier time getting up to speed, which gives it a nice bit of pull...obviously having to do with the lower rotational weight so there is less weight to get the car started moving.
I am very satisfied with both products!

so just an update:
it has been almost a month and everything is doing great. my girlfriend drove my car for the first time, and I hadn't even told her about the short shifter, and she said, "wow, I barely have to more the stickshift!".

I finally got the Short Shifter installed this past Sunday. I didn't find it an extreme difference, just felt like a 40% reduction in throw. I classify extreme as 60% or better. The NST SSK I had in my Tercel was extreme.
The install took less than 30 mins, as I had a certified Toyota mechanic helping (leading the isntall) with the install.
