The first time I removed one, I used a punch that was a little too small and had to do it twice... hard to see that there are actually two concentric roll pins in one spot =/

You normally don't have to remove this unless you're upgrading to a universal- or helicopter-joint - is that what you're doing?

Cool. I like that over the OEM joint. Did it just swap in or did you have to modify it to work?

It was an OEM (STI) upgrade; came as a full shifter:

I think the whole thing had to come out when I did it because one of the bolts can't come fully because it hits the transmission tunnel. I can't remember exactly but it had to come out in order to swap out the linkage bushings.

That's an interesting linkage though that comes with the short shifter, are they rubber bushings or solid mount?

The Bushings are shot in the stock unit and there is an ungodly amount of play in the linkage. I miss 4-5 shift quite often because of it.

I really dig the design of that ujoint, it looks HQ. If you ever find the p/n, lmk.

dealership said they didnt carry the spring pin for the stock clevis, does NASIOC have any alternatives to re-using the old spring pins?

It's shown in my picture above - unfortunately, it has been discontinued. Pegasus sells helicopter joints that will do the same thing, however. The reasoning behind the U-joint was likely for quick transmission change-outs rather than lower compliance.

These comprise 100% of the shifter upgrades on the market. The reason for this post is to raise shifter upgrade awareness. While short throw shifters are damned popular, one cannot and should not discount the effect of bushing replacements on the overall shifter feel. Plus with their ease of installation and inexpensive costs, there really is no downside to these important modifications.

You can find all the manufacturers for these components on my Suspension & Driveline FAQ, but for those of you that like one stop shopping, you can get all these components from www.turninconcepts.com as they make their own components as well as retail for Kartboy which makes what they don't. Be sure to triple check your make/model/year as some of these parts are very specific in regards to fitment.

Will this fit a 2008 impreza 2.5i wagon?
