Just finished the write-up for the B&M Tacoma/4Runner short shifter kit, check it out HERE
I made a nifty little diagram showing how it works too...

I don't know of any nationwide distibutors for B&M so try this place I found on Google...

We plan to install a twin-stick in the red Taco eventually, probably once we install a crawl-box...
After driving with this B&M shifter, it makes me want to swap a 5-speed into my Runner! Auto's can get so boring...

thats pretty cool, i never would have guessed that B&M made anything for toyotas.
I was thinking about the twin stick the other day and i came to the conclusion that it wouldnt be really worth it unless you had a locker in the front. Or am i wrong?

yea i started that other thread and cant decide on which one i want. the marin crawler one is cheaper but you have to send in your old shifter to be modified.

FYI MarlinCrawler also sells short throw shifters for most models. I know of a few that are in Taco's.
and i believe they are only $100

Wondering if folks would be interested in the B&M style shifter for the '95 and earlier transmissions? I'm looking at making a kit similar to what I make for the transfer case shifter:
http://www.4Crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...wShifter.shtml
for the transmission. Basically would start with the B&M Tacoma shift kit and then would use a different spacer plate to fit the different trannys. Would be looking at about $60-90 on top of the B&M shifter.
I've been running the short throw t-case shifter for over 6 years now with no problems at all. Its a very reliable system and has the benefit of being able to revert to stock and/o move it to another vehicle if desired.
