Default Short Throw Shifters - Axxtion
Short Throw Shifters which include the xA, xB-1, xB-2, xD TC, Corolla S, Matrix Yaris Sentra, Spec V, Altima, Altima SER, Maxima, Z350 and G35.

I am THINKING about offering STS's for all the above mentioned models. Because I can private label these, I can be more aggressive in the performance, 50% reduction instead of 30%, and reduce the retail price drastically.

I currently have the TRD transmission-mounted short shifter on my 2008 xD that was installed by the dealer when I bought the car. So you are saying the model you will be making private label will be a 50% reduction rather than the 30% with the one I have on? Hmm... I may want to swap them out in the future for another 20% reduction... so what's the trade-in value on my original TRD SSK?? lol.

I also have an NST console-type short shifter installed on my stick, to give me an even shorter throw, and I love the shortness the two SSK's together give me - but perhaps now I can go even shorter...!

now that you are running both a console mounted STS and tranny mounted STS, you already have an extremly short throw. i would estimate that the two shifters you have are about 30% reduction each giving you close to 60%. the new tranny mounted Axxtion STS i am talking about would have around 50% reduction by itself. The Axxtion along with the console mounted STS would by crazy short.

sounds good to me...!


Actually, I did put a tall aftermarket shift knob on the stick, which made the shifter about 3" taller than stock, so that negates some of the short throw I gained with the SSK's...

To give you a more complete answer regarding two short throw shifters would be this example.

As an example, lets say stock front to back shift distance is 10".

Axxtion STS.............................................10 " x 54% reduction = 4.6"

Console STS.............................................10 " x 30% reduction = 7"

Console STS and Axxtion STS........................7" x 54% reduction = 3.2"

Length of Throw ÷ 2 = Force To Push Lever x 2

If you are running two 30% reduction shifters. One will give you a 30% reduction and the second will be a 30% reduction of the first

100 * (30%) = 30
100 - 30 =70
70 * (30%) = 21
70 - 21 = 49

Two 30% Short Throw Shifters will give you a 51% reduction

Axxtion Short Throw Shifter xA, xB-1, xB-2, TC, Corolla S 2.4, Matrix 2.4
54% throw reduction
Shortest throw and lowest price of any production short throw shifter made in USA.

Correct Phone Number (714) 635-1700
