    I did this mod tonight. I started at 12:30am and finished almost 4 hours later. One of the bolts at @5:12 in the video took me an hour to remove because it was torqued so tight it just spun freely in the plastic keeper. I ended up using a dremel to remove some of the plastic around the nut, so I could get a pair of vice grips in to lock onto it. What a mess. And I lost all my lithium grease owing to plastic shavings fowling it. I had some synthetic multi purpose grease from another project; our friends at google say it's even better than white lithium grease. Shifter looks great and can't wait to take her for a spin.

    Note if you’re doing this yourself… do not get the cheap snap ring pliers. There isn’t enough tension on them to lift the ring. Also make sure the tips come close enough together to grab the ring.
    Overall…. I had a lot of fun doing the installation! Good luck!

    my local Subaru dealer installed the BW short shifter, Perrin intake, exhaust. Shifter is short and tight needing effort , Shift knob sits low. Ordered BW shift extender and different shift knob for leverage. Just these few upgrades have transformed the car from stock. l am loving this BW short shifter wow. inatke on stock tuning make a difference. and steering wheel upgrade so cool.

      Does it change the shifter feel when shifting? For example, my 3rd gear has that “shifting through gravel” feel. Does it feel more smooth after you install the short shifter?

      STI shifter is virtually the same as WRX. 10 percent shorter, still loose, still crunchy. The real STI difference is the actual transmission, clutch, etc. This one is supposedly 35-55 percent shorter than the STI one.

      @@peejread2309 Subaru legally cannot void your warranty. They can, however, refuse repairs. They can only refuse repairs if they know for certain that the aftermarket modification affected the current issue at hand. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that installing an aftermarket shifter and/or, doing shifter work on your own, would risk Subaru not fixing/replacing transmission and parts, shifter and it’s parts, shift cable, clutch, etc.
