So based on the stiffer bushing theory, I switched both front and rear bushings from the stiffer KB ones back to the stock ones and the extra noise/vibration went away! I guess something had to be sacrified, either notchy shifting or quieter ride. I chose the latter since this is my daily. Lol

I would never go back to Auto myself. I've been driving an '04 WRX 5spd Maual for 2 years now. I just love it.

I've only had my Sport Premium 2 days but so far I'm really liking it. It is way more fun to drive than the F-150 (4x4 extended cab and long box) that I am coming from. I've not noticed any issues with shifting into reverse yet, but that could be because I keep thinking it's left and up instead of right and down (must be muscle memory from when I drove my ex-wife's 5spd Jetta). All in all the manual transmission is a lot of fun.
My only "complaint" is that the clutch is so incredibly light. And the 4000 rpm limit for the first 1000 miles. Every time I get close to that I can almost hear the engine saying "more...more..." At mile 1000.1 it's going to be like getting a huge free HP increase. |

Yes, I performed both of these mods within the last month myself. I went with the COBB short shifter because of its adjustability options (both throw and height). I did not replace any of the bushings beneath the car.

I did the perrin short shift adaptor because cost, ease of installation, and the stock height of the shifter was fine with me. I didnt install the bushings either.

Maybe the clutch engage point was too low and needed adjustment? Quote:
Now you guys have me wondering if the clutch adjustment is being set inconsistently at the factory. |

You're the first person on this forum who hasn't agreed that the clutch's catch point is high.

The point isn't unusually high, I like it. I just wish there was more of a change in resistance around the catch point, like a compound bow.

Every car has a different clutch/transmission feel. If you mainly drive one car, like me, you get used to it and it really is not something I think about.
There is nothing wrong with the 5 speed transmission, 'except' the fluid and the length of the shifter throw (cures, Amsoil Severe Gear and a short shift adapter). |
