I had a short shifter installed with this combo and ended up removing it going back to OEM shifter. It was TOO tight if that's even possible, and the shifter rattled like crazy.

Thread covers everything pretty well. It's a tight job with a lot of hand snaking, it can be a PITA to realign the front to get the pins back in; patience is key. You will likely end up staring at the underside of your car at one point questioning your life decisions.


Whiteline trans insert also makes the shifter feel more solid. Cheap easy mod. TRD trans mount has similar net effect without the added NVH.

I just had PTSD looking at those things. It was a major PITA when I was putting the transmission back on after the TOB install. Those pins would not go back in, pretty sure I bent the locking tab on one.





OP, the Perrin rear shifter mount would help a lot. That was one of my first mods on the BRZ, then a Raceseng Weighted Shift Knob solved a lot of problems. Then I installed the Whiteline Transmission Mount, which also, helped a lot, but increased NVH.
