jc7993 I have not personally ran into the issue of the bolt holding the adapter piece coming loose or detached as mentioned above and it's been 5k+ miles. Mine is paired up the STI short shifter. I did coat the whole bolt in blue loctite as well as at the threads of the adapter piece with loctite prior to putting it in. Also tightened the bolt from the interior rather from the underside as there was more leverage. I did check about 1k miles after the install and it was still holding in just fine w/ the same amount of threads sticking out of the adapter piece since I've put it in.
But honestly, I wouldn't say it's junk right away. It's just a lazier way of making the shifter w/ shorter throws. I think at the end, you can always replace that bolt with a slightly longer one and add a nylock nut (w/ loctite on that as well) to prevent it from backing out.
Edit: the only issue you will run into is that it might rub against the driveshaft depending on how much longer the bottom side of the short shifter is prior to the TRD quick shifter adapter. Make sure you do install the bushing that comes with the TRD quick shifter kit as that gives a lot less play when driving compared to stock.
