Photo report on the manufacture of a short-stroke gear shift from stock - Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 1993
The idea is not new, but I also decided to see what would come of it ...
Process:
1) Using a 10 head, unscrew the 4 bolts securing the stage.
2) First, from the side cable, then from the central one, carefully removing the clips, we throw them off.
3) We disassemble the wings.
We knock out a small cylinder (which is on the right in the photo), after which, picking up with something sharp, we throw off the lock nut (on the left in the photo).
Then everything is sorted out without any complications.
4) With a grinder we saw off 20-30 mm (I did it at 30mm) at the top on a straight section of the stage and saw off the bottom ball.
5) We weld with a welding machine as the parts of the stage are located in the photo below.
I advise you to take welding work seriously, because there are quite a lot of efforts on the wings and the quality of welding should be at a high level.
6) For aesthetics, with the same grinder, you can remove irregularities after welding ... sandpaper and paint the stage in those places where it will not be affected during its work.
7) We assemble the link, in parallel applying new grease to those parts of it where it is required, namely, in the places of friction.
8) For further correct operation of the stage, you need to raise it relative to the stock mount by 20-30 mm (I did it by 30mm), i.e. exactly as much as increased the length of the stage in its lower part (see point 4).
For this, 4 bolts were purchased 30mm longer than stock and 12 nuts 10mm in height. Better, of course, to put 30mm cylinders as spacers, and not nuts, but because in the store, the cylinders were not available, but I wanted to put the wings and feel the arrival, nuts were bought.
Pros / cons:
+ The stage travel when switching has become 2 times shorter than the stock one, which cannot but please with its convenience and the reduction in the time required to switch from gear to gear.
- The backstage movement has become tighter, because the lever was reduced (but, IMHO, it became more convenient)
- Requires a much more careful attitude to gear changes, because there is a greater load on the gearbox synchronizers when it is quickly shifted.
Yes, no, everything is fine, the report is good and informative! I just got a little jammed =)
Ahh, I figured it out! There, in the photo, it is first turned at a different angle =)
I welded and only aligned the welding place for aesthetics.
He did not bent anything. The Japanese have already tried to do this =)
Eh ... to see it is bad to write reports half asleep - nothing is clear =)
What's wrong? =) Criticize!
Class! I feel a good car is being prepared for the Dreg) And what is the best and most interesting - custom. All on their own)
It's a good question ... I myself would be happy to study the device of branded short-walkers =)
There are no Russian links.
A friend of Djous took a short walker from TWM Performance on his Mazda 3. He also has a 10 percent discount on their products, so you can talk to him, but he's in England now.

+1 About synchry I agree. I wrote it to the notice of ordinary drivers who do not care about revolutions and just stick the gear they need. In order to mean and not be surprised that their box "ran out" so quickly =)
Sold ... TRD, TWM Performance, etc. They cost about 6 tr. and higher. There is, of course, an option for 1300r from proShport, but this is not mine =)
The main plus of the branded shorts of shifters is that they have 2 times shorter backstage travel, not only when switching on the gear, as it became for me, but besides also when driving handles left-right.
Structurally, how is it implemented? And by the way, have you met any references to Russian hucksters with branded shifters?
Listen, it's a useful thing. And the idea is original ... Although if you think about it, I will not use this option more than two or three times)
they have more likely to have the distance between the lower ball and the central attachment point (also a ball) increased - because just shifting the ball lower - more force is given =)))
well, this is so - everything is IMHO. just switching would become even easier and clearer =)
And Toyota has some kind of fasteners tied to it, so it can't be moved if I understood correctly. On mazdu3 when they put a shortshifter - there is a similar garbage.
On Hondo, there are generally adjustable hand-made in Ryazan - there the central ball on the thread goes with counter-nuts - you can put it on the move you need =))

Molotchik! The shortshifter is awesome!
About the load on synchro - nonsense, if you switch normally! This is the simplest physics - the main thing is to catch the momentum and this is more important than how quickly you move the stick =))) and a lightweight flywheel to help the revolutions fall faster =)
and are branded ones sold on Toyota?
And I, because of the short native shifter, recently turned on the second gear for 140 km. Chased with our two-liter Levin, on the highway, confused.
By the way, as one of the reasons for the death of my motor ...
So be careful.
I did such for myself on Sprinter - a real arrival.
I'm talking for the finished.
In general, the topic is very budgetary and really helpful.
And by the way, you can also lengthen the side leg, then the lever stroke will decrease to the left / right, but this is already for the downed maniacs.
