Cobb Short Throw Shifter Bushing

Cobb short throw shifter install 2015 sti duration.

Cobb short throw shifter bushing. I had the kartboy shift bushings and cobb short shifter on my last car 05 wrx wagon w 06 sti swap and as before it s made shifting wonderfully crisp and sporty feeling. Here are more details. Additionally the bushings have been included to eliminate any slop found in your factory shifter. I was thinking of doing the shifter and bushings.

Our high end performance products and services are professionally engineered thoroughly tested and backed by industry leading customer service. Hi i have the factory installed sti short throw linkage on my 14 wrx and still would like a shorter throw. The generation of 6 speed short throw shifter that i bought is an older one. With the cobb short throw i didn t have any problems getting it tight so it wouldn t slide.

Both on the shifter and the bushings. Shifter made of 4130 chromoly steel and are tig welded a precision jig. The body of the shifter has been cnc machined from 6061 aluminum and it comes provided with steel socket head screws which are set in a counter bore for a flush mount which secures the upper and lower slider shafts. Without the drain plug washer there was a noticeable sloppiness to the shifter.

The cobb rear shifter bushing improves shifting precision and feel when used with a short shifter. Short shifters reduce shifter throw and can lower shift knob height making shifting precision more critical. This short throw shifter has been designed to reduce your shifter throw and allows the user to adjust the shift throw distance and shift knob height once installed in the vehicle. Cobb approaches design by taking the entire vehicle platform into account as a complete system.

This shifter bushing upgrade is a perfect addition to a short shifter upgrade. I used a kartboy bushing and had that problem. Which one would you recommend. I say sporty meaning more tactility and precision.

It s not cobb and their bushing. The bolts we re the problem for either car but position the bushing properly was fun. Then i got to try on my own car. This combination has been designed to be a direct replacement for your long throw stock unit.

A few things to note. When i installed the unit the shifter barrel on the cobb unit was narrower than the shifter fork that goes over the shifter barrel. From what i have heard the kartboy and cobb work with the sti sts. I have installed the rear bushing on two cars now the first one was on my friends car and it went rather smoothly.

I might use some thread lock if i ever hae to do it again. However in cabin tranny and diff noise increased very significantly due to the lower compliance bushings. The hardest thing for me was i installed the short shifter first so the shift linkage was lower then usual and the bushing didn t want to squeeze in. My opinions and review of the cobb short shift kit and bushings as well as an update on the new car.
