[Zee007]

Here at last! Remember when I first asked you for these Mark....?

Glad to gear they have arrived....

By whom are they made.......?

I think you may have missed my question by accident Mark....

Just wondering who the manufacturer is?

Thanks. :)

TRD do one..so that makes it a genuine TOYOTA part

[Lexus Jim]

don't know if this has already been answered (gear changes been notchy?) but does this improve or eliminate the clunking gear changes between 1st and 2nd that many people seem to have with the is200?

If it does then I'll have one.

I'd like one to have one anyway, but at least this way I can justify the expense to her a little more

[ColinBarber]

Don't see how it can eliminate the clunking as that is feature of the gearbox not the shift. However as the change will be quicker maybe it will make it feel better. I guess people will have to try it and see.

TRD one is showing as under development. http://www.toyota-trd.com/en/strt/i_quick.html

Has anybody tested one yet?

Sorry Zee

These ones are B&M which I believe come with the billet alloy knob.

Yes :)

The experience that i have on quick shifters are on super bikes where you dont need to use the clutch except to engage first gear and obviously changing down through the box are these the same?

No it's not the same scorpion. In fact you can change gear on your is200 without using the clutch if you want to. At a particular RPM (not sure which) you will be able to change gear easily without using the clutch.

All a quickshift does is change the fulcrum point of the lever to shorten the travel, which makes the gear change feel more positive and "sporty". C's (another manufacturer of quickshifts) did some time trials and claim faster 1/4 mile times using a quickshift.

I shall wait for Daves report on this,as im getting older now and my boyracer days are coming to a close

me too :P

[tdiplc]

My view is that quickshifts are a tactile improvement. If they make your car more enjoyable to drive - that can't be a bad thing.

[Scorpion]

I hear ya...

I'm looking for SAGA sponsored track days my self

[Mr-Lex]

possible interests, but will wait for results from the ginea pigs :P :winky:

[tdiplc]

Dave Ellen is booked in to have the quickshift fitted on Wednesday 21st Jan (next week). We'll do some piccies for your delectation. Hopefully Dave will do a review shortly after :)

[AMH]

Anyone know if the standard knob fits back on - or do you have to use the one supplied ?

Also be interesting to see the lever height vs gaitor.

OK guess I 'll have to wait for the photos like everyone else.

Count me in subject to a good review. B)

Not wanting to kick up a fuss here by why arent people intrested in the TRD one ?which is a proven quality item and priced about the same.

Im not having a go here at anyone.

[Monster-Mat]

Ive seen no pics or any mention of purchase of the TRD one

[SteveAudioX]

Can the quickshift be fitted with the OEM gear knob ?

Don't know Pete - maybe it's an availability issue. I'll look into it.
