I did this exact thing on my 2016 wrx and honestly i had the worst time getting into first gear. Sometimes it wouldn’t even budge in. Specially during heavy shifting in and out of first gear. Never figured out why it would do that.
Why do most of these video's never mention the fact that unless you'r using the Subaru short shifter cover plate that sits on the underside of the assembly, the short shifter rubs on the cover and it causes all kinds of shifter problems. Most likely you will need to "massage" a dish into the cover to fix the issue. Try removing the cover and see if there's any witness marks on it from where the shifter cable attachment has been rubbing.

Thank God I bought a BRZ. My Billitworx short throw install was a breeze compared to this major surgery. Glad the final result was worth it for you.
I did just the Cobb shift plate and there was a pretty big difference in the throws. Can’t imagine a short shifter on top of that!
I about lost my mind filming this install video and now I've had to do it twice! haha
@@KevinVo LMFAO it was a struggle i've done it twice as well 😂
Had the whole billetworkz kit on the car, but just pulled the trigger on the darkmatterx direct shifter. Its a cable delete shifter
I have the blue vb with bronze gramlights and pink licence plate was so happy you got a vb!
Don't even have this car, but your video makes me want one 😂. Appreciate the video 🎉
Dude that was alot of Pins for me! 😂🤣 So Glad Jane was there to help you tho! 🥰 Shifter looks like it feels Sick-AF 😈
Doing this install while filming was a good amount of work LOL

Possibly something to do with the shifter under cover fowling the shifter cable. See my response 🙂
