This COBB Stage 1+ Drivetrain Package is specifically designed for 2002 - 2007 Subaru WRX 5 - speed manual transmissions. It's a great choice for those looking to upgrade their vehicle's shifting performance. The package includes a 5 - speed double adjustable short throw shifter with a narrow barrel, a Subaru 5 - speed front shifter bushing, a rear shifter bushing, and a 5 - speed COBB knob. The short shifter features a 6061 aluminum body, anodized black finish, and allows you to adjust the knob height from 1' higher to 1' lower. After cutting the trim ring, the throw can be adjusted from 10% longer to 25% shorter. It's compatible with both factory and aftermarket shift knobs. The rear shifter bushing, made of 85A durometer molded black urethane, eliminates front - to - back slop in the shifter and improves the shifter feel. The shifter bushing, with 95A durometer black urethane, gets rid of side - to - side slop in the stock shifter. All parts are either direct OE replacements or direct replacements, and some components come with an installation guide. By choosing this package, you can customize your shifter according to your preference, reduce slop caused by soft factory bushings, and add a touch of COBB style to your car.
Using this COBB Drivetrain Package is straightforward. First, follow the included installation guides for the shifter and bushings. For the short throw shifter, you can adjust the knob height to your liking, whether you prefer it a bit higher or lower. Also, after cutting the trim ring, you can fine - tune the throw length to make your shifting more comfortable. When it comes to the bushings, just replace the old ones with the new ones in the package. They're designed to fit perfectly. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the shifter and bushings. If you notice any signs of wear or if the shifting doesn't feel as smooth as before, it might be time to check the components. Regularly clean the shifter and the knobs to keep them looking good. And remember, since these are performance - enhancing parts, make sure to handle them with care during installation and use.
