    I agree the value of little modifications such as bushings cannot be overstated. They are a great place to start. They can sometimes even be forgotten or overlooked. Your video reminded me that I still have the transmission bushings to replace.

    If you're going to do the clutch line, I'd recommend saving up another hundred and do Stainless steel braided brake lines at the same time, since they both enhance driving characteristics, and they both use brake fluid. Also, an inexpensive vacuum pump helps a lot when doing this job!

    One you're missing that is HUUUUGE! Shift linkage bushings from Turn in Concepts (not sure if anyone else makes these). These replace the bushings that are either loose from factory or degrade over time within the actual shift rod linkage. The other stuff you talk about aside from the shift lever are about keeping transmission and engine in place, these are actually between your hand and the transmission itself.
    I was getting a lot of movement in my shifter (side to side play when in gear or neutral) before I put these in, now tight as a drum. Can't recommend enough.

      @@Stumpy801 I don't think they do.
      Directly attached to the shifter assembly there are 5 bushing sets: Lever Pivot (around the bolt within the cabin under the boot), shifter stay pivot (the white plastic one that sits in the cup of the shifter stay), shifter stay front (attaches the stay rod to the transmission under the car), shifter stay rear (attaches the stay rod to the chassis), and what I'm talking about - the shift linkage bushings.
      The linkage bushings are like $30 for the set, and even TIC doesn't categorize them for the VA STI, though when I emailed them they verified fitment.

    Be careful with installing a Pitch Stop Mount. On 16+ STI's, people are reporting cracked pitch stop braces when not installing only the pitch stop mount. That being said I would go for a trans or engine mount when looking at the cost of a mount + brace.

    Things no one has ever said:
    "SHIT! Another upload from Smeedia? Too many videos in a week."
    "I hate things for my car that are under $100!"
    "This channel is weird."
    OK, that last one... maybe I've said that, but its a good weird!
    Also, how about a Smeedia Beanie?! Huh? Yes...! You like that idea, don't you?!
    And finally, Yes, I love the Torque Solution parts. Same as a lot of the Cusco parts, only 30 to 40% cheaper!
    I have the TS Brake master cylinder brace and the 2015+ WRX steering dampener lockout. Both have helped with the driver input feeling.
    And I have the STI Group N pitch Stop brace. After I installed it, I noticed a decent amount of added engine noise or maybe vibration added to the car. The difference in the firmness of the rubber was pretty big, but maybe not as still as some of the aftermarket options. But also only $59 or so.
    Thanks for another great video. There are a couple of these mods I have either forgot about or learned about because of this video. Thanks!

    Is your shifter a torque solutions? Also does your shift knob have any vibration sounds in certain gears? Like it sounds like it’s coming from the reverse lockout.
