    Default URGENT: W5x quick shifts

    Does anyone sell them off the shelf.
    Are they interchangeable with all W5x shifters?



    Have a customer with an AE86 rallycar and W57 with TRD close ratios.
    The gear lever slightly fouls the custom centre due to the long throw.

    Dellow Automotive has them for the W58. [email protected]

    I'm not sure of the quality and if they are interchangeable with a W57, but give them a shot. They are not interchangeable with W50 sticks (different size balls). If you do find out the W57 and W58 are interchangable I can line you up with some US vendors. Very nice stuff, but $$ (http://www.suprasport.com/Quick-Shor...p_74-176.html). Not cheap, but this is the Jim King shifter and way better than the C's or any copies. Dellow's is about half the price.

    Good Luck,

    Eric

    A site in the US sells them and they are the brand "C's". There is also another brand floating around but you have to search for celica short shifter or even cressida short shifter as supra short shifter only comes up with the 6 spd short shifter.

    Keep in mind you can't just buy the nylons from toyota as they dont sell them seperate. For them you need to buy the whole housing.

    Contact in the UK, had one laying about
    Dont ask. too many artefacts from bygone toyota days in his "Alladins Cave"... sigh.


    No quickshift attached, stock gearlever on quickshift spacer was causing problems.
    Figured that quickly... lol

    Now on the market for quickshifts.
    I have a psot here somewhere about gear kits.
    Someone in Aus/NZ supplies them.

    If it helps, there was a group buy on these forums a while back for having original levers modded - could be info for DIY.
