GTEASER Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Anyone have any luck finding one of these for a 4th gen? ?? You guys have shift linkage, not a cable and shifter box.

jackal8788 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just installed mine. It took about 25 minutes but I was very careful in setting the 1-2 and 5-6 gaps and was able to reduce them from the recommended 1/8" gap from Perrin. I know the comment was made in here about not overtightening the 7mm nuts and that's a good point to keep in mind. They could easily strip out. Overall, I like the feel overall crispness that this added. Looking forward to hearing other thoughts on this. Short Shifter + Perrin Bushing + Perrin shift stop = crisp, smooth, (still non-short throw) shifter that should have come with this car to start with.

jackal8788 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 ^Thanks! Looking forward to your impressions as well. It will also be interesting to hear how those with the non-STS feel about this mod. Damn all you wonderful enablers!

jackal8788 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 As a very pathetic gesture of my general appreciation for the knowledge and enabling of this forum, I received a coupon along with the shift stop that is good for 10% off 'most Perrin products' so perhaps those who are still holding out on this or something else can utilize this code. The code is 99FL77 and the expiration is 12/31/14. Mod on! VF54 to 20G to VF54 to 18G build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon.mol Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 As a very pathetic gesture of my general appreciation for the knowledge and enabling of this forum, I received a coupon along with the shift stop that is good for 10% off 'most Perrin products' so perhaps those who are still holding out on this or something else can utilize this code. The code is 99FL77 and the expiration is 12/31/14. Mod on! I just got mine and I have the same coupon, same code. Note: This coupon code is only valid at www.perrinperformance.com and typically their prices are 10% higher than other retailers carrying their products. Not to be a negative nancy or anything... I too will install tonight and report back. <rant> I hate UPS. They charged me $34 in brokerage fees to bring it into Canada. Thats in addition to the 17.41 in shipping I already paid. Apparently they can ship this box across the country for less money than it "costs" them to walk it across the border. Thieves. I called and complained until they gave my money back. Apparently, if one pays for 'world-wide expedited' shipping the brokerage fees are a flat 10 dollars, plus duty. This part is made in the USA, by the way, so its duty free. So apparently I could have sent it via 2-day guaranteed delivery for less money than 5 day, once I counted in brokerage. What a joke. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon.mol Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 As promised: The "slop" numbers for the OEM shifter Before After 1-2 Gate 23 mm 7 mm 3-4 Gate 23 mm 22 mm 5-6 Gate 8 mm 6 mm As you can see, it made a significant difference on the 1-2 gate, and naturally the 5/6 gate adjustment has nothing to do with this part. The washers accounted for about 1mm overall. As expected, no change to the 3-4 gate. The positive stop on the left side of the 1-2 gate feels nice but frankly doesn't matter. You were able to get into gear just as easy no matter where you were in the spring-loaded "sloppy" area on the 1-2 gate, so frankly other than making it feel nicer, this has no purpose. It isn't going to help you shift easier/better/faster/more accurately. Way-way-way less useful than the brass shifter bushing. Overall rating: "Meh" I recognize that the improvement on the 2015 WRX shifter might mean more due to the apparent reduced slop in the 3-4 gate to start with.

Zee199969 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 brandon, do you have an STS installed? I don't have one installed and do not see that much slop in 3-4 Gate. I wonder how it would help people who haven't done the shifter bushing or STS. My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how it would help people who haven't done the shifter bushing or STS. OEM Shifter. Don't get me wrong. its not flopping around. Its a stiff spring-loaded tension towards the left, but there is movement there of 22 mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^^ You need the STS. The 3-4 gate will be not flop at all with it, and the 1-2 and 5-6 will tighten up even more.

Zee199969 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Installed. Early impressions are it firms up shifter feel but not as drastic as the shifter bushing did. Definitely feel more connected than before. Eventually I want to get the 2015 STS and hopefully be finished with shifter mods My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah, the bushing firms up forward to backward movement and the stop firms it up side to side.

brandon.mol Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah, the bushing firms up forward to backward movement and the stop firms it up side to side. To be fair, it tightens it up on the left side, in 1st and 2nd only. It does nothing else. The washers or the right side adjustment do not have anything to do with this part, which obviously you know, but just pointing it out for others that may not be so familiar with it.
