Review: Excellent - Excellent. Faster, tighter, and more direct shifts.
Review: Actually impressed with the quality of this shifter - I got this about 2 months ago now and I bought it because I lost my Perrin short shift adapter that goes on the OEM shifter and can slide up and down changing the length of each gear change nearly four full inches if you wanted but sadly they don't make them anymore and they were ridiculously expensive on eBay so I found this. It was extremely easy to install, I feel like I should state that I am an auto mechanic so what's easy for me may not be for you but I still think for the everyday Joe, this is an easy job if you follow a YouTube tutorial or something similar. The biggest issue I found with this was that both of the brass inserts that go through the shift linkage hole in this and also come with this product ironically are both too big to fit inside of the product it comes with neither brass adapter fits inside of the hole in this short shifter but thankfully my cars shift linkage bolt was the perfect diameter and fit absolutely perfectly in the very nice roller pin bearings inside of this shifter. Both shims this comes with had to be used on my car otherwise the side to side slop was out of control but non-existent issue with the shims. I do wish there was a bit more adjustment to go shorter with the throw, I know my Perrin made shifting significantly shorter than this did at its lowest and shortest but this has its perks as well. For instance those roller bearings I spoke of, they actually can be felt in each gear change and they are quite nice compared to a polyurethane bushing that is on every stock Subaru shifter. The gear changes themselves feel infinitely better than OEM it just doesn't feel like it shortened my shifts all that much but since it s cheap and it significantly improved the gear change feeling as well as perfectly butted My shifter boot to the shift knob I have, I kept it and I'm glad I did. I can confirm that the bearings have zero slop still at least 60 days later and everything feels just as tight as it did on day one. For reference this was installed on my O2 Subaru WRX sedan or bug eye. You do absolutely have to cut the metal bracket that holds the rubber seal that separates the cab from the outside underneath the car otherwise you cannot shorten the shift at all as it will contact the metal plate. I used my Dremel with a metal cutting wheel and it took all of one minute to nicely cut and deburr the bracket allowing me to max out the adjustment on this shifter. I definitely recommend to those who want more feeling in their otherwise rubbery feeling no feedback OEM shifter in their Subaru. Almost forgot, it can take some abuse too. My car is a fully built hybrid with a 2.5 ej257 bottom end, an FP red turbo, 1200cc injectors on ethanol fully tuned and making 425 to the wheels on my low boost tune and almost 510 on 25 psi. And yes I'm just waiting for this transmission to explode before I put in my STI 6-speed that I already have but for some reason this transmission that usually is made out of glass doesn't want to let go, it's taking launches (on wet pavement, I'm not trying to snap any axles) and everything and has about 100,000 mi on the transmission hah go figure

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it fit 2000 Subaru legacy outback?**
A: I don't know about the 2000 but it didn't fit the 92 legacy wagon. Had to 3d print bushings and make some "minor" adjustments (didn't quite want to fit in a few places. After some bent metal, grinding down the blue part, a longer bolt, and bending metal back down by impacting the bolt) it fits pretty well

**Q: What is the thread pitch?**
A: It has a few plastic adapters to go between the stick and handle, so you have some options. I'm guessing it'll fit almost anything "standardized"

**Q: Can it fit to Impreza 1994 5 speed manual EJ16?**
A: Sorry,it can not fir for 1994 Impreza.

**Q: What is the diameter of the pivot ball at the end of the shift rod?**
A: The size of the ball is 20mm/0.787".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap and works!
*by J***S on April 15, 2023*

It was about the same price to get new bushings. So I went with this shifter also no rubber to wear out. Was a bit snug to get into place, but works just like I prefer.
