This is a top - notch drivetrain package designed specifically for 2002 - 2007 Subaru WRX 5MT. It includes a 5 - speed double adjustable short throw shifter with a narrow barrel, a Subaru 5 - speed front shifter bushing, and a Subaru rear shifter bushing. The short shifter features a 6061 aluminum body, anodized black finish. You can adjust the knob height from 1' higher to 1' lower, and after cutting the trim ring, the throw can be 10% longer to 25% shorter. It's compatible with factory or aftermarket shift knobs. The rear shifter bushing, made of 85A durometer molded black urethane, eliminates front - to - back slop and improves shifter feel. The shifter bushing, with 95A durometer black urethane, gets rid of side - to - side slop in the stock shifter. By combining our innovative double adjustable short throw shifter with front and rear shifter bushings, this package allows you to customize the shifter throw and knob height according to your preference and reduce the slop caused by soft factory bushings.
Using this drivetrain package is quite straightforward. First, when installing, follow the included installation guides for the short shifter and the bushings. It requires an intermediate level of installation effort, so if you're not confident, it's best to get a professional to help. Once installed, you can adjust the knob height and shifter throw to your liking. For daily use, just shift as you normally would, and you'll notice the improved feel right away. As for maintenance, check the bushings regularly for signs of wear and tear. If you see any cracks or excessive softening, it's time to replace them. Keep the shifter clean to ensure smooth operation. And always make sure the bolts are tightened properly to avoid any looseness.
