Brett_dub Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I installed the bushing today but had some trouble. Incase anybody is in a rush and expects it to go as smoothly as I did, here's how it can turn into a few hours. After removing the cover and cotter pin, I find the inner brass portion of the stock bushing had rusted itself solid to the center pin. I had to pry the washer off, then the rubber, so I could use a micro torch to heat the brass portion. Needle nose vice grips twisted it off after a few minutes of heating it. Then I used a Dremel and sand paper to clean the base of the pin so the new bushing could sit flush. It took a few tries to get enough clearance to reinstall the cotter pin. It was worth the headache though as it does feel a lot more secure going into gear. Now to get rid of the side to side play when I'm in gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon.mol Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I don't think there is any way to get rid of that, since that's the play in the shifter in the cabin. Maybe the '15+ wrx shifter helps.... Enablers with said shifter will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 the OEM Legacy short shifter and the 15+ WRX short shifter both have stronger springs So, why don't we just figure out what stronger springs are needed and swap them out? Much cheaper than a whole new shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 So, why don't we just figure out what stronger springs are needed and swap them out? Much cheaper than a whole new shifter. It sounds easy but adding tension won't help with solidifying the shifter. I think you need to remove all the clearance then solidify the housing somehow to really give it a sturdy solid feel.

It's a stop - it doesn't impact spring tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
