short throw shifter for 90 Pickup?
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an availability of a short throw shifter for a 1990 Toyota Pickup 5 speed? I remember seeing one on ebay a while back for first generation 4 runners, but can't seem to find one for the 1990 pickup... any help would be appreciated.

It's a V6 3VZE, 4x4... wow I didn't think it would be that expensive... 195 bucks is kind of steep for me, guess I'll stick with the stock setup.

Anyone with some simple fabrication skills (cutting and welding) can make their own short throw shifters. I've made several of my own with awesome results on all of them.
It's simple basics of leverage. Lengthen the lever below the pivot point and you shorten the throw. On all of the cars that I've done, I generally shorten the lever above the pivot point about 3/4-1" and lengthen it 3/4-1" below the pivot point. This makes for a very short and sharp shift.
On our trucks, I would leave the length above the pivot and extend the lever below the pivot point about 1".
Depending on the application and amount that you lengthen the shifter below the pivot point, you may need to put spacers under your pivot point.

Yes, I'd say ebay is a good option if you don't want to modify your shifter. But, you could take your stock shifter to a welder and they could add a piece below the pivot point in a matter of minutes. Then you go to Lowe's/Home Depot and get some thick acrylic (or get some thinner and glue them together) and cut the piece out to raise the pivot point.
If my dad wasn't borrowing my welder, I'd modify mine and trade you for your stock one. That way you wouldn't have to go without a shift lever. If you're still in the need for one after January, let me know.

Yet another reason why I don't like ordering stuff from LCE
I am sorry but 85-88 22R's did not come with ANY W series transmissions. Unless someone can show me the 2wd 22r's had a W series. which I doubt.
This kit fits 1985-1988 22R/RE 4wd Trucks and 4Runners. These years came stock with W56-A and W56-B style transmissions. These are commonly reffered to as "Top Shift" since the transmission has the normal 5 speed shifter; and the transfer case shifter is located on "Top" of the transfer case itself (as pictured below).

So does Marlin Crawler. I just got two from them for an R150. Cost Like $310 shipped if I remember right. My truck has a 4" body lift so they made a huge difference, and some getting used to. Short throw = more effort. Shipped'em mine and came back with a new base (xfer) and spacer (r150)
