Just installed this on my 19 and it's a night and day difference. I have this paired with a perrin shift stop, and brass bushing. Feels amazing.
Installed the full kit last night. Topped with the titanium knob. Ba…ro….!!! SO amazing!!! Feels so awesome. I feel like I was driving a semi before 😂 thanks for the awesome products!
Love mine! My car feels great with the entire kit installed
thank god for your comment. my car has some milage and it definitely wont come off. i will go get that pry bar and PB blaster ASAP. Watching you wiggle it off helped a lot!
Hey all. Just installed mine. Well, just finished it. I’m not the most car savvy person in the world but feel I’m pretty mechanically inclined. The roll pin is by the far the hardest part. You can pop the smaller center one out, to loosen pressure on the larger pin if needed. Can put them back together before putting it on new plate as he did with the needle nose. The old shield does not get reused. The car will not go into 1st, 3rd or 5th with it in place. Make sure to leave it off. Otherwise, it’s amazing and I’m absolutely in love with it along with the weighted knob. It’s how the car should’ve felt to begin with.
I can't get the old plate off. I punched the pin out unless there's a 3rd one outside the other two. So i just punched it back in, and it went in fine. Much harder if you don't start it while off of the trans. I'll probably give it another try tomorrow but that thing was on there.
@@mattevans1643 hit with some pb and pry evenly with a flat head or pry bar. Don't bend and don't over do it cause it will royally fuck something up. Sometimes they're really on there. But you're certain the two pins popped out and not just the inner?
What plate the bigger one or smaller one
Bro tell me why I just finished install, reinstalled both 4 bolt shield and 2 bolt shield, and it would not go into the fwd 3 gears lol that was my first guess but without anyone to shift gears for me I could have never seen it you are a lifesaver will remove that bs in the morning hahahaha
definitely one of those "while you are in there " installations....because while you are in there, you might as well add a new transmission mount and positive shift kit (Whiteline or similar) with all of the braces and brackets you are taking off; if you haven't done those mods already. Plus, if the car is on a lift, it makes it soooo much easier...
Love the BW shift plate and short shifter, but you gotta add in the part where you lube the shift cable before trying to put it on the bushing. It's a PITA without lube, and then actually using the shifter is terrible. I went back and added lube to the bushing and now its butter smooth.
Too bad there isn’t an aftermarket shifter plate cover. I installed one on 2017 WRX and a rock somehow got stuck in between the plate and the transmission. It wasn’t fun moving through the gears. Very sketchy. Luckily, it just impaired shifting. I removed the rock and it worked flawlessly afterwards.
Your brass bushing looks the exact same as mine but I'm finding it impossible to get it fully into the linkage! Any advice? I tried somewhere lithium grease but still no luck
I noticed you didnt re-install the shield from 1:39 back when you put everything together at 7:50. Is this right or did I miss something?
That is correct. If you reinstall that shield, it will interfere with the shifter plate and you will not be able to engage 1st, 3rd, and 5th.
I recently just installed this and have since realized that sometimes when I shift and let go of the clutch I get a loud double clunking sound that seems right below the passenger footwell. I’ve double checked everything and it all looks good. Has anyone had this issue and know what’s up?
So you don't reinstall the cover that goes over the shift plate that's a pain in the ass to get off correct DONT
Great video! Is your shift plate compatible with the STI short shifter?
Does the roll pin get reused? Or does it come with the transmission plate or do I need to source a new one?
You will reuse the factory roll pin.
What torque specs are you putting on the bolts for the tranny brackets when reinstalling them?
Rear member
Outside 4x bolts: 70Nm
Centre/front 2x nuts: 35Nm
Front member
Outside 2x bolts: 140Nm
Centre cushion rubber 2x nuts: unknown
What is the brass looking bushing you put on for? Is it necessary for the install? Or is it to slightly firm up the shift feel?
This looks like the stuff of nightmares if you don't have a lift lol
I installed their short shifter with the car on rhino ramps and it’s all around the same area. Nothing too terrible
wasn't there a shield you missed installing?
This roll pin is kicking my ass… I can’t seem to get it out of the oem plate, got almost 70k on the body , any tips??
Did you ever figure it out? I’ve been stuck on this roll pin for 45 minutes with no luck.
I love how everybody has the easiest time with removing the roll pins but my wrx with all of 6k miles on it brand new everything the pin is so effing tight in there I still haven’t gotten it out smfh.
Lmk how you did that
Just took me an hour to get that roll pin out
Skill issue.
what size is the punch for the roll pin? i’m trying to get mine installed tomorrow but the roll pin is scaring me
Following ? Have you figure out the size?
@@nbaterrence9486 it’s a 3/16!
Confirmed 3/16th did it 👍
What size punch was used to knock out the roll pin?
you ever find out??
@@Tht_1sti no never did, I’ve got the kit on the way too. I wanna say someone mentioned a 3/8 🤷🏾♂️
@@troymarchbanks8365 3/16 rollpin punch
used a 5/32", need a long one or you hit the plate constantly
Does this come in the short shifter complete kit
Yes, this is included in our full Short Throw Shifter Kit!
this install looks like a bitch im just thinking abt being on my back trying to hammer a roll pin with with a flashlight in my mouth
That makes three of us. I’m about to drill that B);7! Out
I use a headlamp..this install doesn’t seem worth the hassle
why dont you need to reinstall the last cover with the tricky 4th bolt?
won't fit because of the thickness of the shifter plate
What size punch is needed?
That’s what I wanna know
Believe they’ve said 1/8 or 3/16 in other videos I’ve seen. Just ordered my kit (plate and short throw.) Did the bushing and stop and as much as it helped, not quite what I wanted. So I’m excited to follow along with this and the other he has for the actual shifter.
Just ordered mine for the Black Friday special. Seems like pain to install without a lift. WELP
bushing can be done with jack stands on back. idk after plate. i assume it would be the same way since it’s around the same height as the bushing. i’m gonna try to do it tomortow
@@avokovich3579 you can do it on jack stands. That pin is the only problem. The crossmember has to come off unless you have a foot long punch. If you have a really long punch you don't have to take the crossmember off. If you have a really long punch you can remove the cablemount, and not have to remove the clip. Which is a pain also.
Did you forget to put that one cover back on? The one that is being removed at 1:40. You don't put it back on at the end.
I have the same question.
I believe is not needed, because it won’t longer fit and it’s just a heat shield
@@ChrisSlv503 correct. Just installed it along with the short shifter and it does fit but won’t go Into 1st, 3rd and 5th if it’s on. Removed it and works fine.
@@MrDIJEN15 I wonder if it will rust anything? In that area
@@allninerr9876 don’t gotta worry about that in so cal. Lol
This thing is kicking my ass. I punched the pin out and couldn't get the old plate off. I needed to go somewhere, so i punched the pin back in, super difficult. Much easier when it's already been started. Put the new bushing on. Buttoned it up, went driving, and then the car just isn't driving right no acceleration. So i put the old bushing back in, and it was perfectly normal. Have no idea what the issue was. I know the car can mess itself up, but the acceleration thing was constant. I also noticed the shifter was basically free when in gear i almost thought about trying to throw it in neutral just to find out, but then i thought better. After putting the old bushing back in the shifter didn't have any play in it either. Which also didn't make sense, because it was tight on the aluminum bushing. Now i just need to get back at that plate. Don't know how i'm getting that thing off. I must have tried for about 30 minutes. Tis for another day. Anybody have recommendations for getting the old plate off.
Penetration blaster helped me, I was also trying for a long time trying to get it off
Penetration blaster is a spray
Pry bar
Make is sound easy take-out that pin. I can't take my out
I just finished an install for a customer. I only took off the front transmission support crossmember and didn't touch the heat shield or the second cross Member attached to the shield. It was unnecessary in my experience. The 3x 12mm bolts are easy to reach w/a extension and wobble adapter.
For the pin I didn't have a punch w/ me so I fashioned a punch out of a screw and grinded it flat and removed the threads, using a auto E-hammer made the job easier, a standard hammer was taking forever and was way too crammed of an area to work even on a mobile lift.
As far as removing that clip in the shift linkage I'd also advise against it as it barely helps make any clearance, instead take off the 2x 12mm bolts holding the shift linkage on and pull the whole bracket w/ clip out of the way. Easier to take off and no PITA clip to put on and put back on in that tight space.
Putting the new pin in with my auto hammer was super easy, took 30s, the hammer was just to get it started... From there I wouldn't waste my time after hitting my fingers with the hammer 3x due to aluminium transmission mounting areas getting in the way and deflecting my strike. A sharpie is your friend when lining up the cotter pin to the hole.
