GR Corolla Stage 2

The GR Corolla Stage 2 Drivetrain Package includes the Racer X Fabrication shifter cable bushing kit, short throw shifter, and engine pitch mount for the 2023+ Toyota GR Corolla.

The Racer X Fabrication shifter cable bushing kit for the 2023+ Toyota GR Corolla is designed to reduce shifter effort and increase feedback during shifting. The Racer X bushings are CNC turned from 6061-T6 aluminum and use teflon spherical bearings to allow for smooth rotation and cable articulation that is introduced during shifting. The OEM bushings are comprised of rubber and bronze filled linings, which reduces feedback and prevents the cable heads from rotating.

The Racer X Fabrication short throw shifter for the 2023+ GR Corolla will reduce shifter throw and increase shifting speed. The short throw shifter decreases shifter movement by 40% — this was found to be the optimum reduction at the bell crank and a good trade-off between an overly notchy shifter feel and shifter throw. CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, it mounts directly under the OEM bell crank and utilizes the shifter cable post to increase stability and eliminate slipping. The completed component is anodized black to provide corrosion resistance and laser etched with the Racer X logo.

Note: Short-throw shifters come with a trade-off — the reduction in shifter movement increases the shifting force. This can lead to a shifter that feels mechanical or notchy. Solid shifter bushings will amplify this effect. We recommend the Racer X spherical bearing shifter bushings, as they allow for some cable head articulation.

The Racer X Fabrication engine pitch mount for the 2023+ Toyota GR Corolla was designed to reduce engine rotation. The OEM pitch mount uses a fairly soft rubber bushing, which allows for considerable engine rotation under load. While this is great for daily driving, it leaves a bit to be desired under enthusiastic driving conditions. The Racer X engine pitch mount uses a 60A durometer urethane bushing that reduces engine rotation, but maintains a reasonable increase in NVH and in-cabin vibration. The bushing is a perfect trade-off for spirited driving, track sessions and heading out to the local grocery store. The mount itself is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized black for a pleasing aesthetic appearance, while providing corrosion resistance.
