Herda2448 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Just installed my Perrin V2 shift stop. I notice the most difference in the 1/2 gate. 3/4 is a bit better. 5/6 is definitely better. It works fantastic. Going from 1st to 2nd is a much smoother transition. Still notchy but that's the transmission after reading a lot of these posts. I will back this part. The Perrin Shift Stop is a great upgrade for a better transition between gears. My sights are now set on installing the Perrin Brass Bushing, and the Perrin Shift Adaptor.

Falcor Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just to clarify, if we have the stock shifter, which of the 2 options do we get? PSP-INR-018 = 2015-2017 WRX & 2018 WRX with factory short shifter PSP-INR-019 = 2018 WRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I have had the shift stop for 3 days, and this morning I noticed the reverse lockout is popping up over the stop while normally shifting into 1-2. The only fix I can think of is adding a washer under the shift stop to raise it up. Anyone ran into this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I have had the shift stop for 3 days, and this morning I noticed the reverse lockout is popping up over the stop while normally shifting into 1-2. The only fix I can think of is adding a washer under the shift stop to raise it up. Anyone ran into this issue? Yes that's a common complaint. I added several washers in an attempt to fix it and nothing really worked. I'm pretty unenthusiastic about mine because of that... I did end up kind of learning how to shift to not pinch my fingers, so I haven't uninstalled it, but I do not recommend the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I don't have this problem at all with it with my OEM 2015+ WRX STS. It was designed specifically for the 2015+ WRX so I imagine it would work well with the OEM shifter for that platform as well. Might be able to find one cheap on eBay.

Falcor Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The WRX STS would be great, but not happening for a bit, even though they are actually fairly cheap considering. I think the sloped side of the stop is causing the issue and allowing the lockout to "ramp up over the stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I've had the pinched fingers happen once or twice. I have learned to be more precise in where I am trying to push the shifter. I think the updated version is less prone to having the lockout pop up. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the updated version is less prone to having the lockout pop up. I asked the Perrin rep which one is recommended for the GT and he told me it was to 15-17 sloped version, not the 2018 flat sided one. I think I should have gotten that one.

coco26 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I also read somewhere the 2018 one was specifically redesigned with this issue in mind. I had it happen a couple times after install, but I've gotten used to it and it hasn't happened for 6+ months. I'd give it some time, unless you want to deal with exchanging it.

Falcor Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm going to see if I can exchange it. Working with the rep now. He thinks I have the STS shifter, but I checked the throws of 3rd and 4th this morning and can't really tell. There is a thread where someone compared the throw of stock to STS and there is not much difference. I need to get back under the car to see if the cover plate has the bump and STI stamp. If they will not take the Stop back, then I will have the machinist at work mill down the slope to make it flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a picture of your shifter in reverse, I can tell just by looking it if you have the factory shifter or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 If you can crawl underneath and look at the bottom plate of the shifter, the STI short-throw has "STI" stamped on the plate, and I think there's a difference in the shapes of the bumps stamped into the plate as well.

cww516 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I was wondering how much different it could look, but that's pretty noticeably different from my STI STS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I should have gotten that one. I believe their website says the 15-17 one for the standard shifter and the 18 one for the STi short shifter. I had the 15-17 in my car (and I have the short shifter) and it was pretty easy to get the reverse lockout lever to ride over it - I installed the 18+ version and that is totally gone - I can push pretty hard against the stop and it doesn't even kind of come up. It's a cheap part - might be worth getting the 18+ one for your car as it should solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I sent the rep a video last night of the lockout riding up on the stop. Waiting to hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon.mol Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You probably just have it too tight, i.e too far to the right. Move it over a little to give a little more wiggle in 1st and it may solve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Here is a video showing it riding up on the stop. I sent this to Perrin. Still waiting on a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 When you have a chance climb under the car, the sts has a recess on the plate and one of the cable entry holes is lower than the other on the body of the shifter assembly. The non-sts one they are the right next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 So, the Perrin rep is insisting I have a STS. :\ Incase the angle of your shifter in the picture threw me off, I forgot that I did some measurement in the shifters if you want to confirm. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/6mt-shift-lengths-263256.html?t=263256&highlight=STS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
