Sludgeroo Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I've heard alot about a cheap ebay alternative to a short throw shift, I try to avoid buying ebay parts, but seeing as a shifter is a metal stick, I don't think you could f that up much. I do however DO NOT want to skimp on bushings.. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 A couple of us have bought the cheap shifters on eBay, and they work great. I am going to order one for myself soon. If you order a shifter for a WRX you'll need the ''wide'' bushings and http://turninconcepts.com/ has everything you'll need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same eBay shifter, but mine is 93-01 specific. also have an eBay 2" extension and eBay delrin knob. I love the whole set up and am so glad I didn't spend $100 for the same exact shifter from Kartboy or twice as much for the same knob from a some other name brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Beware the 96 and older use a different shifter linkage. I did the mod to make mine a STS a while back (I have a 96 trans in my 97LGT) -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sludgeroo Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Mine is a 99 so I should be set.. I wasn't sure if it was 02-11 wrx or the first gen impreza. I posted the wrong link, I meant the one for the first gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in relativity to your cup holders, or if you have a picture. And what bushings did you do, I want it to feel more direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what bushings did you do, I want it to feel more direct. I used some polyurethane bushings a friend gave me. not sure what brand they are, but Ive also used the kartboys. mine feel more direct than the kartboys, but also rattle at high speeds. http://I.imgur.com/LGEXx.jpg I only used a 2" extension cause I didn't want it to sit too high, just a little higher than stock height and a lot higher than the short shifter height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
