PDI H150/H151/H152 Short Shifter
PDI H150/H151/H152 Short Shifter
The PDI short shifter reduces the travel to about 60% of normal throw. The result is a much more defined engagement of gears. We’ve been running a couple of these (in our FTE converted 105 and 79 series) and have really come to like difference. The shifter feels really normal and when getting back into any other manual cruiser the gear lever travel seems excessive.
There are 3 different stick shapes to suit the different models. If you have a 105 and have fitted a H151 or H152 from 80 series or 79 series then you will need to select the 80 series shifter since it has 2 bends and moves the shifter back away from hitting the dash.

With such a reduction in movement the force required to move has gone up and you can no longer look out of the corner of your eye to see which gear you are in. For most of us this isn’t a problem
Three different models are to cover the range of cruisers fitted with the H15X box and have different shapes for the upper part of the gearstick. The upper black section is rubber mounted to the bottom and we have used the same larger diameter black section
** 80 series owners will need to trim the inside of the boot or lube with dishwashing detergent to get it to fit .
Installation is simple and is done by getting access to the top of the gearbox. With rubber boots pulled up the old gearstick can be removed by pushing down and rotating the key slot retainer. The new gearstick is a replacement of this so the upper plate remains in place.
To reduce the throw, the ratio has been altered by raising the upper pivot point. The original gearstick can be easily reinstalled if you plan to sell your cruiser.
The plastic bushings, if needed to be replaced are part number 33548-31010 for the lower white plastic bushing and 33505-35030 for the upper ball pivot bush. Both can be found in the HZJ105 Landcruiser and Hilux fitted with the R151 gearbox. The lower bushing is standard for all Toyota manual gearboxes.
