What would you say are the differences in feel from, say, a 2004 Corolla? The Corolla doesn't feel very "vague" or "notchy", it just feels average.



This thing is a 207D engine/transmission, freshly lifted out of the truck.





That's what I was thinking -- just play with a 240D shifter and keep the knob from this one.
This transmission looks longer than the four cylinder engine attached. The car four speed is nowhere that long, imho.

Really though, with the potential for distortion by cameras I'd want to see a picture of the truck and car tranny side by side.
