The position of the pivot point has to be higher than OEM to shorten the shift. You have lengthened it. Overall, what you did was change the shifter height
I appreciate the video the previous owner had one already installed but it was to short and was rubbing the metal around the shifter everytime I was in 2nd 4th and reverse making a grinding noise, just adjusted it and about to take it for a test drive
Took me 2hrs because of that damn ring and I had to pull it out again when I couldn't engage 2nd gear. On a side note buy the ebay one for $50, it's insane COBB wants $274 AUD
I have modified a couple things. Added longer hardware and nuts for the tensioning screws just for my own personal liking. And I wrapped the 2 shafts with some thinner tape to make the fitment a little more snug. I will be doing an update/review video here pretty soon with details on that. Overall it’s not perfect, but for the price it’s working just fine for me.

Very good straight forward and thorough install video man. Be anxious to see what your overall thoughts on the shifter is as a whole.
Definitely! Going to get some miles on it first, before I make a review.

Awesome man. It looks like a in depth install but nothing too complicated. The throw looks a lot shorter.
Thanks dude! I always appreciate your support!
Great video just finished my 2008.

Great video, great share - very clear, very helpful - thank you for sharing
Can it fit forester 2012 5 speed manual?
You should do a video with you driving and showing the shifting
Thank you for the video! Just installed a Kartboy short shifter and this tutorial helped immensely.
You actually increased the throw by shortening the length of the shaft on the bottom from the pivot point.
Love the details man!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
great vid, thanks for the easy to follow guide!
Great video! Simple easy video😎
Very helpful video wouldnt have been able to do ut without this lmao
Whats in your center console ??
Great video! Just curious what is the little dial you have in your center console 🧐
probably bass/gain knob for subwoofers
will it work in a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.0, 5 speed?
Great question. Yes, I believe they are the same shifter.
@@SubieShakedown thank you
what’s that white piece at the bottom of the shifter called? i broke mine
Haha that’s why I came here
Definitely made the length longer.
Thank you 1 year later!
You are very welcome 👍

Has the ebay shifter given you any issues?
