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!

find a stock shifter arm and compare its bottom shaft length with the one you have. then youll have solid first hand physical evidence rather than comparing through images

The first pic in this thread I took last night when I had my stock shifter out of the car comparing... the new one is considerably longer. Just trying to work out whether it is legit C's or home made now.
