2015 BRZ Limited: wrong shift knob?
 

I just picked up my 2015 Limited in Dark Gray Metallic. I'm very, very happy thus far.

I noticed that my shift knob has the wrong pattern on it. It's a six-speed pattern, but it shows reverse as being to the right and down. Reverse is actually to the left and up. Did someone in Gunma screw on the wrong knob? Or is this a known issue? I searched for things like "BRZ wrong knob" and didn't find much.

Thanks!

Take it to your dealer, but first, share a photo!

They may have put your reverse gear in backwards.

Lmao, definitely wrong, and definitely take a pic first :D

I wonder if the European RHD models have reverse in that setup?

Take a picture!

Maybe you should keep it for limited error selling get extra money come up sale on ebay or something :D

Pic or it didnt happen. If you cant figure out how to post it, message me and I'll help you.

:needpics:

Shift patterns are the same no matter what side drive you have.


OP sounds like you may have ended up with a WRX STI knob. It's the same but the shift pattern is 1-6 with reverse being to the right and back. If it has a red base it'll be a 2015 STI knob.

Like so.

Good to know. I've never been in the front seats of a RHD car, so I never noticed lol.

Thats what I was thinking when I first read this, someone gave him a WRX knob. We gotta see the pic OP!!!

PICS NAAAOOO!

pics or it didn't happen

in for the pic

I will gladly post a pic late on Sunday night. I'm on an airplane right now (posting via Southwest WiFi) and I won't be back in my car until Sunday evening. I thought about taking a photo and posting it, but I thought this was such a mundane subject that I'd be lucky to get any replies at all, let alone ones demanding pics.

I'm pretty sure I got a pre-2015 WRX STI knob. I don't believe it's a 2015 WRX STI knob because, as far as I can remember, it doesn't have a red ring on the base. The knob looks a lot like the one in the image Porcupint posted.

I ordered the car (as opposed to buying one off the lot) through Nikki at Heuberger, and it had seven miles on it when I first sat in the driver's seat. It's not like the car was sitting on the showroom floor and had its shift knob switched by some 14-year-old smartass.

Curiouser and curiouser. Like I said, I'll post pics as soon as I get back to my car (Sunday).

Cheers,

Jason
