Key Features & Benefits – GT86 BRZ shift boot retainer adapter
The GT86 BRZ shift boot retainer adapter helps secure the shift boot and supports reverse lockout operation, with a 0.81 in (20.6 mm) top opening for size matching. It is used on Toyota GT86/86 (FT86, GT86), Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S manual-transmission models.
Anodized aluminum build in red, designed around a direct-fit style installation. It can work with stock and aftermarket shifters when the measured dimensions match, helping keep the boot area tidy around the lockout mechanism.
When is this useful?
If you are changing the shift knob or your boot fitment is loose, this adapter helps keep the boot seated and makes reverse lockout movement feel more consistent.

Selection & installation tips
- Size check: measure the shifter/lever outer size at the adapter location and use it only if it is under 0.81 in (20.6 mm).
- Boot fitment: confirm your boot retainer ring/collar matches the bottom opening (1.61 in / 40.9 mm).
- Lockout travel: after installation, check that the reverse lockout can move up and down freely without binding.
- Aftermarket knob: verify the knob design does not interfere with the lockout mechanism and there is enough clearance for operation.
- Seating surface: install on clean, burr-free mating surfaces so the adapter sits straight and does not pull the boot off-center.
Before and after fitting this GT86 BRZ shift boot retainer adapter, verify the key dimensions and confirm smooth reverse lockout operation, then compare your measurements to the listed specs.
