So if anybody has been following the saga on Facebook, I bought a TRD Quickshifter from the UK for about $250 shipped. Gets here and looks nothing like TRD (top half looks exactly the same as stock).

Left: Short Shift. Right: OEM.


Upon looking at the welds underneath I came to the conclusion that this must have been a home conversion:





HOWEVER, the seller now says its a C's short shifter.... which is equally as desirable and expensive as the TRD (but perhaps even more rare). This is the pic he references from NewCelica:

I can't find any pics of a genuine C's shifter for ST20X. I find it strange that they would use an OEM top half... but the bottom does look the same.

Has anybody seen a C's short shifter before, or knows where to find pics? Thanks!

send it back, get your money back, and just get an Ebay special. 40 bucks and they work great.


Thanks for the advice. I know many people are very happy with them, but I do not want to use a 7th gen shifter. At least for the ones I've seen, the cups at the ends are 12mm instead of 13mm for the 6GC. From the sounds of it LHD guys have much better luck with them than the people with RHD who I know to have tried it. Also, the 7th gen ones aren't as cheap here.

never seen a c-one before....


It isn't C-One... it is a company called C's. But they are rare.

After spending several hours scouring the internet and not being able to find any ST20X pics I emailed a past owner of the #77 Grp A ST205 from Australia who had one in his car and used to import the C's shifters (cost about the same as TRD but some people preferred these). 2 hours later and he found his old pics for me!!!















Now my current thoughts are that mine is genuine C's that has been home welded... but I'm not sure why. I am happy with the cost if it is genuine C's product (what can I say... I like rare things tongue.gif), so does anybody have any thoughts after comparing the images?
