Hi - has anybody had a 'quick shift' mod on an older scooby such as mine a 95'wrx wagon.

Was it any good - how much should I be paying and which one do you recommend (I'm a bit confused which parts I should really go for) and how long would it take a garage to fit?

thanks for the advice in advance!

cheers

First thing I had done on my MY95 UK. I was very unsure about buying the car with the gearbox as standard it is just so vague!! I tried another car they had in for servicing and the difference was incredible.

I paid about 300 GBP fitted from the dealer. IMHO this is one of the must have mods along with a SS back box and new filter!!

TFG

 

Quickshift makes a big difference to the earlier cars, and is generally considered a good value for money upgrade.

It's still worthwhile on the later cars as well, but makes less of a difference. Still nice to have if you have the money to spare though

 

I was going to put one on my my95 UK car but was put off by the bit in the SIDC faq about "beating the box". I took the cheapskate route and fitted a standard one from a my99 which was given to me free by Simpsons of Swindon when my Uncle got his scoob (Prodrive fitted the quickshift by mistake!). It made a huge difference, much better, but obviously not as good as a quickshift. It was a real ******* of a job fitting it though!

Been there, done that, didn't like the design on the T-Shirt!

WRX 96 Wagon. Paid about £200 all in including fitting for an autosportif unit, so I think £300 is steep (could that have been sold to a possible P1 owner? ).

Well worth 200 notes, makes a good improvement. Didn't have much problem with beating the gearbox, you just have to remember to respect the synchromesh system!

I want one! where can I get it from?

 

Got one in my UK 96.

Brilliant!! It even seems to make it less crunchy into reverse.

Cheers
