Yeah TRD is big thats why i cut mine i cut mine with a dremel tool , but id say if you had the time you could cut it with a hacksaw i guess you could torch it but make sure you cut the thread first ,as its quite hard to restart a thread of that diameter and with that grade of steel, and if you can use a dremel you wont need to take the shifter outta the car.... which may not seem relevant, but remember how much force it takes to cut the thread and you cant get it to hold in a vice to well if i could work out how to post a photo i could show you what ive done
