Go home early to work some more on car. I take apart the donor FX dash, and take apart the ventilation system to find where the heck the remote for the stereo dissapeared to. Finally find it after taking everything apart! Sheesh. By the time I’m done, I decide not to try and swap the dash into the new FX as I prob won’t finish in a sane amount of time. I intead decide to swap in the short shifter since that’s simple and already out of the donor.
It really is simple to take out. Here is the original US shifter assembly on the left. The custom modified short shift is on the right. I’m not sure what vehicle it was for, I assume it was for a Japan market later Corolla. As such, you’ll notice the lever is bent the wrong way. It still works, but it sets it up better for the passenger to shift. Perhaps I’ll try and bend it later, but for now this is how it’ll be. You can see the difference in travel in the second pic.
