DeltaSniper Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 any idea how much the plate would run? if its not ridiculous i definitely want one. driving in VT you need as much as you can get to seperate sensitive parts from the nastiness that is our salt infused roads I could almost swear Ontario is the winter salt capital of the world...and I don't see any issues with my car not having one. (IMHO) I don't foresee any need for the shifter plate, just get the car rustproofed every now and then and you should be fine. Heck, My car barely had any rust in that area where the cable was.

DrD123 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 my thought is if a rock can get there than so can a chunk of ice and a whole bunch of salt. even if it does make a full seal it'll still block some salt instead of just having that whole cavity filled. I'll have to look into getting one of thesedefinitely post up the p/n if you find it - I'll do the same if I have any luck (couldn't find it searching on my own - will have the parts department at the dealer take a look if I can get by there in the not too distant future) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Once its installed you'll be pissed at yourself that you didn't put the jack and stands in the trunk to do it at lunch time for the drive home.

Ellesedil Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Heh, I dunno. I'm not experienced with modding cars, so I took my sweet time. Ended up taking an hour to do it with a lot of double-checking. I do like the new feel quite a bit, but I think it now highlights the need for a short-throw. It definitely brings the shifter closer to how my dad's Mazdaspeed MX5 feels.

tdelker Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Okay, I ordered one because I really dislike the feel of the shift. Hoping it helps as much as others have said! It is just so sloppy, it's hard to find the gear as-is. I find myself 'jamming' it some times... Now I need a washer... I'll check the dealer down the street...

Ellesedil Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It definitely improves the feel of where the gears are. Probably the best 35 dollars you can spend on these cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 ^^what ripstik said. Look at the last 20 or 30 posts, there are at least 3 guys with extras that would be willing to mail one to you.

Pep4Subaru Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 By the way just completed the bushing swap during lunch... my co-workers were looking at me funny... here I had my car in the parking lot with a side lifted and jack stands under it. Definitely a crisper feel to the gear engagement on the stick... well worth it, thanks to all who worked on this small but significant mod.
