STi 6-spd STS on a 5-spd WRX

o2sys · 03-11-2005, 11:47 AM

I have a STi 6-speed Short Throw Shifter laying around in my garage, it was off my friends STi, and i was wondering i know the Reverse lock wont work, but will it still fit on my 2005 WRX and work?

Try it. The fulcrum can't be off by much if at all.

They are completely different designs

The only part that is different is the lever arm (slightly different length) and the width of the U joint that attaches to the trans arm. After reviewing some notes though it looks like it will not work for those reasons.

o2sys · 03-11-2005, 02:51 PM

so can i readjust the lever arm length? like cut and weld?

Why don't you just sell it to me?

This is THE best SS kit out on the market for STI's bar none.

Too bad its a HUGE PITA to install...

btw whats up with that site having ZERO information about the business? No location... no phone number...

It looks like a fly by night operation from here.

Actually Tony, he already picked some up.

subieworx · 03-11-2005, 04:14 PM

That was quick. When did that happen?

A while ago. If I remember correctly he's got the factory SS kit, and he picked up some linkage bushings or maybe a klicky kit. I'd have to check.

Slight hi-jack here...I have the factory SS on my STi...I know that there are probably better full kits out there...BUT, other than a Group N tranny mount, are there any fairly simple upgrades I can make to better the system?

Are you looking for better shifting?

If so, there are a few options for you. Turninconcepts.com has three different levels that would work with your current setup and make it easier and more fun to shift. Check out the website.
