Great job describing this and the installation process. Thank you!! I didn't even realize I could clean up the "slop" with such a cheap and easy install.
If you haven't driven a tight gear box you wouldn't understand. Or just cruising around and driving regularly it wouldn't be noticed as much as ripping
I don't have an issue getting into first gear while stopped or at very slow speed. It doesn't seem to improve the anomaly of hard getting into first gear at higher speed. This for me seem to almost be a safety feature (to keep from overrevving). It maybe reduces the crunchy/gravel feel going into second slightly but I also added a much heavier knob which I think also helped reduced this (more momentum). The lateral (left-right) tightness definitely improved substantially. Still...it's no Civic Type R shifter...
@@theredsalmon612 i hear that the shift bushing improves that crunchy feeling the most. i will be installing that soon. how did it go with the shift stop? - i am doing that now
I ordered a Cobb because of this video, thanks for your help.

I just did this, thanks for the great install video! It only took 15 minutes and definitely helped.
Thank you so much for this. Can’t wait to install mine (hopefully today). Where’s that alacantra sleeve from?
It's an OEM part: th-cam.com/video/Ha3QeOpU4sM/w-d-xo.html
How did y’all get the stud to go further down? It stops like halfway for me
will the screw loose later on?
What shifter ball is that white one
The link to it is in the Description of this video: th-cam.com/video/l__tPT48Zo8/w-d-xo.html
That white shift knob appears to have lowered the length a little?
I didn't measure it but I'd say you're right. Maybe .5"-1"? The knob shape and camera angle might make it seem exaggerated though.
Thanks
Where’s the suede shift boot from?
Good question! It's an OEM part. Please see Description under this video: th-cam.com/video/Ha3QeOpU4sM/w-d-xo.html
Why does shift slop bug people? Not sure why as it doesn’t bother me at all.. 🤔
Shift slop doesn't exactly bother me but it just feels better, more precise, and a bit more "notchy" when the slop is gone.

Great vid. Thanks.
where can i get those floor matts
They are Subaru OEM all season mats. Subimods has them, subaru part number J501SVC000
does it go into 1st gear more easily? and does it stop 2nd feeling crunchy sometimes

Thanks for the reply! Sorry for sounding rude with my previous comment. Gonna get mine installed tomorrow😋
