When it comes to shifters, I don't have much knowledge in the area.

Appreciate the help!

Edit: I want to add that I live in Australia. I've been looking at where to purchase some mtec Springs but have had no luck. Best place I can find is their site.
It seems they ship to your country.

As for the transmission mount, I suggest to get whiteline insert instead of new mounting. Much easier to install and cheaper.

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking into transmission mounts. I can get the Perrin rear shifter bushing relatively cheap.

Would I need to get a new reverse lockout or can i just utilize the current one?

The STI shifter comes with a new plastic reverse lockout already installed.

The STI transmission mount feels better than the Whiteline bushing.

The Perrin rear shifter bushing is ok.

I'm seeing if I can run both the TRD Quick Shift kit and the STI Gear Lever (short shifter). They are completely different parts. I'm thinking I may have compatibility issues with my aluminum driveshaft and the TRD kit though.

That one is not. That's for the Forester; the FR-S and BRZ transmission mount is very similar, but it is different. I have a picture of it in my build thread from when I did the install after switching from the Whiteline positive shift kit bushing.

This is the droid you are looking for:

@Trap63 do you have pictures of how the shift boot is different then OEM? Japanparts have a note saying that it's different so it'll be included, but I already have one from JPM that I'd like to keep. Thanks!

I loose this description of Japanparts. I confirm you that Alcantara JPM will fit as you see.

I tried once, it did not work where the adapter bolts up. The other pieces worked though. I haven't given up yet and will try it again soon though, the first time around it was late and I was in a rush to finish.

I should add that I have an aluminum driveshaft, and I believe that is the main issue.

I fully believe the TRD quick shifter will work with the STI shifter if you have just those two items.

I'm guessing difference in sizing from the stock driveshaft?
How would you say both the quick shift and SS would feel if it were to bolt up together, just those two assemblies?
