Find out which reverse lockout fits your Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, or Toyota GT86. Learn about direct OEM replacement options and compatibility with short shifters.
Quick answer
The Billetworkz Reverse Lockout for BRZ, FR-S, and GT86 (6-speed, 2013-2021) is a direct OEM replacement that fits all three models without modification. It also works with most short shifters that use the factory lockout mounting.
Why upgrade the factory lockout?
The factory reverse lockout on the BRZ, FR-S, and GT86 is known for developing vibration and wear over time. It also limits shift knob compatibility because of its narrow thread design. A CNC-machined replacement like the Billetworkz unit solves both issues with a tighter fit and an internal O-ring that dampens noise.
Does it work with a short shifter?
Yes, the Billetworkz Reverse Lockout is compatible with most short shifters that retain the factory lockout mounting point. If your short shifter uses a different lockout design, you may need an adapter. Check your shifter's documentation or contact the manufacturer to confirm fitment.
