GTEASER Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 ^^to me, that's a better temporary solution than drilling out washers that are too small. A washer with 5/16" ID and about a 1-1/4" OD, or slightly larger, would work great.

km580 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 All I have to say about the DIY "Temporary" washer is just make absolutely sure there are no burrs on the metal from drilling out the center. You don't want anything cutting into or scoring the transmission's linkage shaft or the brass bushing. If it does, you could get into binding issues or creating a premature failure point. Honestly, from the pic, some of those look questionable and I wouldn't put one on my car until it was smooth as a baby's butt. I smoothed them out, any burrs would cause a problem. It's tough to see in the pix. Fat people are hard to kidnap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeg420 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I gotta get this done. Been slacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Huge thanks to Kirk (km580) for the washers I just got today! Laffy Taffy and STi badging (+5whp)... can't beat that! Thanks for the laugh on my Monday afternoon! Anyone in the Boston area (Ellesedil?) needs a washer, let me know... I'm the NE dealer for washers now! I'm going to inquire at my local dealership when I have the time (need to take the wife's Impreza in for its first oil change soon anyway). While cheap and easy, I'm not really ready to do anything with this as work and home life are both very busy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgyozzy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Did they have it in stock or was it back ordered and finally came in? It was on backorder. Took about 2 weeks maybe a little less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojorios Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Did this this weekend. Definitely feels much better. The washers I ordered were a lot smaller and definitely wrong. Not sure if maybe the part number matched with something else. They didn't fit. Luckily, I had a washer lying around that was the perfect fit.

tamuras87 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Anyone know if these bushing will fit the 2014 2.5i 6mt? I just got a 2.5i and the shifter is quite mushy for my taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerophool Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 That was a nice easy mod. I like the firmer feel shifting into gear, but it accentuates the clunky transmission.

bonnin Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The noise of the clunky transmission when shifting pisses me off too. I guess i was hoping for a miracle with this mod. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
