As the title says, really. I'm ordering a MY03 WRX + PPP and wondered what the benefits of the "Subaru" quickshift would be. Or what the downsides are?

Pro's less distance between gears.

Con's Subaru gearboxes don't like being changed fast, if not setup properly can cause shifting problems.

 

From all the responses, should I conclude nobody has done it -

NB

 

I've got one on my classic and am very happy with it, no problems as yet.

 

I had the Prodrive one fitted by main dealer, them claimed a 33% reduction in lever travel (1/3), this feels about right. I think I paid £230 ish fitted, no regrets or shift problems. Very Happy with the result.

 

Got one on my RB5, standard I think, it does feel good.

All my mates are really surprised by how short the shift actually is. Feels sporty if nothing else I suppose.

 

my sti v7 had one on in when i got it from the dealer very very impressive also seems to cut down a lot of the soupy feeling in the box less lateral movement aswell

As already siad, some gearboxes don't like being changed too quickly, if you beat the synchro's, they don't last too long, I haven't got one, and won't be fitting one either.
I stuffed a Mini b/box just by fitting a quickshift.
