URD Short Throw Shift Kit on sale

For those of you that have a MT Underdog Racing Development has a great MT short throw shift kit on sale

I just picked up one for myself since I discovered they were on special again at 99 bucks compared to the normal 149.00.

I've been wanting to go short throw ever since Bz let be try the short throw in his TRD. Bz can tell you how much of an improvement is it off road when needing to do some quick shifts.

So if you have ever thought about this mod it is a great deal, not to mention Gadget seems to be a hell of a good guy.

it's not too bad. Takes a little getting use, but the gains in 1st thru 4th and back more then makes up for it. Now when I shift it feel really solid.

NIce !! I have heard that getting the TRD shift knobs (white) would help with that cuz they have more weight, but I am not sure if this is true or not..

Ok now that I have a few mile on it and it's broken in. WOW what a difference, the slop is gone and reverse is cake to get into. Overall it feels like it should have come from the factory this way. Teri drove my rig last night and said it shifted much better.

I got mine almost two years ago already and I am very satisfied. Why do they have it on sale, are they going to release a new one :) ???

there is nothing to really change on the URD kit. So doubt there is a new one coming. More then likely just clearing stale inventory.

Ok I just got it installed and man was it simple. I love the "short strokes". Reverse is a bit harder but not that difficult but will take some getting use to. I always that this was a waste of time and money mod, but now that I have done it I see how wrong I was.. I cannot wait until its all broken in..
