TRD Japan or US quick shifter
Hello,
As usual, I’m one to window shop for TRD Japan parts (but I end up buying them lol), and this time I’m wanting to see if anyone has any opinions details about the TRD Japan Quick Shifter MS205-18001, and how does it stack up to the US TRD quick shifter PTR54-18130. From what I see, the US version has a claimed 25% less throw and comes with more things besides the shift lever itself, and the JDM version is more about the actual lever and I saw one site say it has a ‘20% shorter throw’. Not sure if I believe that one site, but like with all TRD Japan parts, they never actually give a good description. TIA |
There ain't nutten wrong with the one that came with your car.

That U.S. kit is an actual turd. Stay far away from it. If you want a short shifter, get the JDM TRD, or the STI unit.
|
The TRD and STi are different. TRD is 8 mm longer in the lower part, STi 4 mm.

I recently got the JDM TRD Short Shifter installed and it's actually lovely. It definitely aids in the spirited driving experience since the gears are smaller. The websites say 20% yes and that makes a huge difference.

Weren't there reports of issues with the trd usa short shifter modification? replacing the entire shifter unit is always a better idea of bolting shit to the existing setup.

The one nut could reportedly work itself loose if you didn't loctite it up real good.
Other than that, I think the issues were limited to people who had aftermarket drive shafts. I loved my TRD Quick Shifter. Might have been my favorite of everything I've driven. Short, notchy with positive feedback. |

I've bought and used both the USDM and JDM shifters for extended amounts of time. They both reduce the throw by approximately the same amount. I tracked and put tons of miles on the USDM without any problems. I later upgraded to the JDM. For the driving I do and if I had to do it over, I would have gotten and just spent the money once for the JDM shifter from the start The USDM shifter

So I guess I could give my feedback. I actually have the STI short shifter and TRD quick shifter mated together and it's eh. If I'd do it again, I wouldn't have added the TRD but it does shorten throws and it's notchy.
