MR shifter console style in GSR?

Hey I was looking at goliaths pictures and they gave me inspiration to ask this. I think the 6-speeds whole shifter console looks so much cleaner than the gsrs. I never thought to ask because I didn't want to put an MR badge in my car and have everyone cry and moan thinking I was someone that wanted an MR but couldn't get it.

I think I may be in luck though. It seems that the euro spec gsr comes with the MR style shift console. I know the GSRs come as 6-speed on the euro models, but I don't think moving from a larger 6-speed boot to a smaller 5-speed boot would cause an issue.


My question is will this be a direct replacement?

You can rip off the badge and replace it, it's just a sticker. Replace it with a Ralliart sticker or something

A direct swap.....almost. I did this swap but you have to trim the boot retainer slightly or else the console top tends to pop out. As for the name plate, I've been using the badge from the carbon fiber top offered by Ralliart. I'm swapping it for a OEM badge just purchased that just says "evolution". Simple but noticeable upgrade.

Thnx for the reply.

Do you think the swap is worth the hassle?

For me, hell yeah. Parts total was about $65. The 5 speed console looks cheap with that funky trim ring.
