What is the main benefit of installing a short shifter?

A short shifter reduces the distance your hand travels between gears. This allows for faster and more precise gear changes, which can improve the driving experience, especially during spirited driving.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the short shifter and a pivot bushing. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for any additional tools or hardware that may be required.

How does the pivot bushing contribute to the shifter's feel?

The included pivot bushing replaces the stock rubber bushing, which can become worn over time. A more durable bushing helps to eliminate play and slop in the shifter mechanism, resulting in a more solid and direct engagement when shifting gears.

Product Details

If you're looking to get a more direct feel from your 2008-2014 Subaru WRX's manual transmission, a short shifter can make a big difference. This kit from Torque Solution replaces the factory shifter with a unit designed to shorten the distance your hand travels between gears. This means you can shift faster and more precisely, which is especially noticeable during spirited driving or track use.

The kit includes a well-built short shifter and a pivot bushing. The pivot bushing is often overlooked, but it's key to a solid feel. Replacing the stock rubber bushing with a more durable one helps eliminate slop and play in the shifter mechanism. This translates to a more positive engagement when you select a gear, giving you better feedback from the transmission.

Installing a short shifter is a popular modification for WRX owners. While it involves getting under the car and working around the exhaust and driveshaft, the result is a much improved shifting experience. You'll notice the shorter throws immediately, making each gear change feel more immediate and satisfying.
