Product Details

If you're looking to tighten up the feel of your 5-speed manual transmission in your 2008-2014 Subaru Impreza WRX, or compatible Legacy, Outback, or Forester models, this COBB Stage 1+ Drivetrain Package is a solid option. This kit focuses on improving the connection between your hand and the gearbox, making shifts feel more direct and precise.

At the heart of this package is the COBB short throw shifter, which reduces the travel distance between gears. This means less slop and a more positive engagement with each shift. It’s paired with a shifter mount bushing kit that replaces the stock rubber bushings with a stiffer material. This change helps to eliminate unwanted flex and movement in the shifter mechanism, translating into a more solid and responsive feel when you row through the gears. The result is a more connected driving experience, especially noticeable during spirited driving or track use.

This package is designed to be a direct fit for the specified 5-speed manual transmissions, making installation straightforward for someone comfortable working on their drivetrain. You'll notice an immediate difference in shifter precision and a reduction in the vague feeling that can come with worn-out factory bushings.
