I got the SPT short shifter in my car off the lot. I noticed that there was very little difference between the SPT and stock set up. Has anyone had any luck with a better or more noticeable difference on 08+ WRX short shifters? I am doing some research, and althought this is not high on my list of stuff to upgrade, I might swap it out.
I was told by the dealer... "aftermarket short shifters can cause damage to the transmissions". Don't really believe that, but either way I put an SPT short shifter in and took out the Agency Power one. I can tell the difference between the two, but I am fine with it. The aftermarket one seems to make the shifting notchy. For me, (at this point) it's not a race car. It's a grocery and kid hauling car...
Yeah don't want notchy. Would swapping out the bushing be a better way to take care of this.... or make a more noticable difference?
I had the solid shifter bushing in there and that probably made it worse. I ended up with the STi rear bushing and the STP shifter. Works great. Putting a lower profile shift knob on there helps too (just barely).
yeah, well Perrin is having the father's day sale this weekend, so their bushing are $17. Not sure if i should go with it or just save my money
If you put a stiffer bushing in (definately with the solid ones) you will get a lot more tranny noise in the cabin. That is very annoying.
me and my buddy are both having shifting problems... almost like the linkage is off alittle... kinda hard to go into some gears, his is a 06 wrx and mine a 08 wrx... is this normal for other people or just random we both have the same problem? we both have stock shifters.
