Is TRD Quickshifter worth it? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I uninstalled mine before returning my lease (had it in there for 1.5yrs with no issues). Stock shifter is so sloppy in comparison. I did both the install and uninstalled on 4 jackstands, so like @switchlanez says, it is doable (this is also the first car I modded, so it's not like I'm an expert wrencher).

I am in NJ near NYC area. Any chance we can meet up sometime and I can take a look at your Quickshifter?

Possibly, I live near Philly

A bit of a hike for us both

Since people still have the bolt backing out with Loctite, I believe the O-ring retains tension against the bolt and prevents it even more so than Loctite from slipping.
