Exactly what I am scared to death of. Sometimes that shift from 1-2 feels sooo notchie. I do have a sti grp n rear shifter busing that I have not isntalled yet, would that help that shift, the rest feel fine? The grp n mount is new to subaru, dealers have only had them about 2 weeks. I tried installing the KB and that was a PITA

^^^^In that vid where he takes off from :31sec to :41 sec, is that considered harsh driving, espically the 1-2 shift?
At 1:33 when he drives away, it sounds soooo sick/evil though

I dont think I will get a ticket, but I will keep some aleve in the car
