If anybody can let me know it would be great.
Years ago I had the TRD short shifter in my white Rev1 but it was actually too short and was ball shaped and I found I couldn't use it as I did the tall standard item but I'm wondering if the later revs just shorter knob might be the right compromise. It still has the right shape rather than the ball of the TRD as well.
Is the gear knob (and it''s resultant height) a straight swap?
Also are the rev5s stitched in red do I recall?
Any info gratefully received.
Ta.

That's a negative, Jim. I do not have the measles.

Thanks Wilkie.
Yeah I don't fancy going for a short shifter again but I may at some point try a later rev stick/knob now I know they're interchangeable. I thought they were but wasn't sure so thanks for that.
PS. Is it only you I and a few other lost souls left on this forum? It seems a very quiet place these days. Also are you going to the MR2 National Day next month (29th I think) at Hatton? If so I believe a beer might be in order....

Yes the gen5 shifter is stitched in red.
I would recommend changing your shift lever and gear boot to December 1991+. They are a straight swap.
