Took the TRD quickshifter kit off last night. I stupidly put it on a couple years ago in combination with the STI short shifter kit. I grew tired of the overly notchy feel and difficulty getting into gear sometimes. I always forget how good the stock shifter is. I do notice some feedback, so I think it's about that time to flush my trans and diff. Especially since I'm pushing 85k miles.

What came in the "TRD quickshifter kit" and what was in the "STi short shifter kit"? Think I may be missing some bits as I felt no change between the stock BRZ shifter and the so called "Short Shifter".

The STI kit was a whole new shifter assembly but it was like a 4mm difference. The TRD was some adapter that shifted the linkage and shortened the throws. As you can see from the link below:

I don’t know much about the torque solution but I’m sure it’s better than the TRD lol. The STI is slightly shorter and basically OEM+ so there is that price tag lol.

I have the Torque solutions one. I like it it does have a noise at certain speeds but nothing bad.

Filmed a quick cold start video of my car from the outside today and almost smashed into my ladder. A lot louder and throatier than I thought compared to in cabin noise.
