Subaru Impreza Crosstrek Forester Automatic Shifter Replacement

Рет қаралды 63,771

Күн бұрын

Today I will show you guys how to replace your stock Automatic shifter on a Subaru Impreza 2.0i, Forester, Crosstrek with a Sport shifter. The entire process will take you no more than 20 minutes and will require a Phillips and Flathead screwdriver.
UPDATE AS OF 6/18/20 - The Links no longer work. I recommend contacting your local Dealership for the Part Number. The Automatic Shifter Replacement comes from the Premium/Limited Trim CVT Impreza (2012-2015)/Forester (2014-2018) models and should be broken down to 3 main components: CVT Leather Shifter Boot, Shifter Trim Console, and Leather Shift Knob (optional).

I'm going to do this down the road. Just grabbed a 2017 Forester and I'll see how long I can stand looking at the plastic trim. I did have the XT some time ago and do appreciate the leather boot 100x better. Thanks for the quick tutorial! Will be referring to this in the future!

Thanks for making this video, I recently took my 2017 Impreza to the dealership to replace the radio because it was starting to get cracks under the glass display and when they took out the old radio they scratched up the shifter knob on my car, I was worried it might be a huge complicated process to get the part they scratched replaced but it doesnt look too bad

Used the link to buy the same shifter, followed your instructions, & everything worked. Only took me 15 minutes! Pretty good, seeing it’s my first auto upgrade/mod that I did myself ever. Thanks Tom! Hope you are enjoying your WRX

@TomVangTV 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you brotha. I'm glad my video was helpful towards your install. It definitely makes a difference in terms of overall feel and quality by simply replacing the plastic pieces. As for my WRX, I absolutely love it! Aside from it being a sedan, the WRX answers everything I wanted when I had my Impreza. The oomph was really all I was asking for and the WRX delivered. I'm still one of the handful of folks who have not yet modified their WRX. I remind myself where I came from, and the WRX is plenty fast to get me in trouble.

@Squazzoo68 5 жыл бұрын

TomVangTV I just have a 2012 Impreza base model. It’s paid off, not under warranty & only has less than 60k miles on it(I just work a lot lol). I have no interest in going fast or powerful, I just want to spruce up the car & improve the “creature comforts” as you say, since I plan on driving it for another 5 years. I’m 50 & putting the money I would’ve been paying out for a car payment towards retirement, & dressing up my car is fun for me right now. Thanks for the inspiration!

At first I didn't mind the plastic shift plate. But then summer came and when driving around the noon time the sun would bounce off it and no matter what I would do (short of putting my hand over the plate cover or setting something on it) I'd get a glare in my face making for a pain to drive. Been looking for options to address this and here I am. Anyone actually try this upgrade in the 2019 Crosstrek?? I'm tempted to just buy it and try it to see if it works myself as I like the look of this option better than painting or vinyl wrapping the shift plate.

Hi, i saw that you have worked on sti’s and crosstreks. Most parts in the interior is interchangeable.. question is have you ever wondered if you can do a front end conversion(fender, bumper, hood) from sti to crosstrek

@TomVangTV 5 жыл бұрын

Anthony F Hi Anthony. Front end conversion yes will be possible. However you will need the front fenders from the WRX/STI. Yes on hood but it’ll be non-functional since you don’t have a turbo and an intercooler. There may be some slight adjustment needed for the headlights but I youre doing the full conversion, I believe you can also swap the head lights.

@AF-fr8mc 5 жыл бұрын

TomVangTV oh yeah i forgot to add sti headlights.. it should be all bolt in right and no mod needed? I know hood wont be functional.. i just loved the 15-18 sti front curious gow it will look on the crosstrek. Thanks!

Just purchased the Trim kit for my 14. Do you have information on the center console swap? Ive got the tan interior and also would prefer the black console of the WRX.

@TomVangTV 6 жыл бұрын

The black center consoles from the 11-14 WRX's and the 15-18 WRX's fit the 12-16 Impreza 2.0i perfectly. The only thing to be aware of are the metal frames that the screws are placed through to keep it in place are slightly different. On the impreza, the 2 screws are on the sides on the rear seat side vs the WRX consoles where the 2 screws are inside the consoles. You will have to order the brackets from Subaru or find one from a salvaged WRX off craigslist. But it's a simple plug and play. The door cards, the WRX seats (all) are also compatible and a simple plug and play.

The gloss black piece you're referring to is included as a two-piece combo when I purchased it myself (at the time of this video install). Now that I own a WRX, we have limited selections as well, especially in the aftermarket for these pieces. Most of anything and everything are stickers or 3m type of items. If there are replacement parts, they're usually pretty pricey.

TomVangTV well I’m about to buy an entry level 2015 Impreza sport and it doesnt have the steering wheel with its bells and whistles

@TomVangTV 6 жыл бұрын

It's a very good and reliable car. Just be aware of certain things before you commit to buying it: -Cabin noise is quite annoying after a while of ownership. Everything rattles and you can hear droning, especially after about 45 mph. -MPG is good, but fair for an AWD vehicle. I averaged 30 city/freeway driving like a granny. -The car is slow - especiallu from zero, don't expect to be able to get on the freeway as easily as an accord, civic, or camry/corolla. -Subaru paint quality is very poor. Front bumper will get lots of dings. But overall, it's a very nice looking car, very practical and easy to work on - simple maintenance, etc. Hatchback trunk space is awesome, especially with fold down rear seats. And remove the charcoal filter immediately when you get the car.

I wasn't aware until I was watching your videos about that factor but I believe just like I would have to commit of doing mods to it to get it as comfortable as possible but I like your mods

@TomVangTV 6 жыл бұрын

Whitson Williams no worries. Feel free to email me if you ever encounter any issues. I’ve owned the car for 3 years and did all of the maintenance myself aside from the 100k fluid flushes. I know this car very well and as long as you keep up with the oil changes every 6k and the filters every 15k, you’ll never have to worry about maintenance

will this application work with a 2015 impreza 2.0i ?

@TomVangTV 6 жыл бұрын

Mr , Fun Guns Hutchinson yes, it will work with the Impreza 2.0i from 2012-2015. The 2016+ has a different center console. This will also be compatible with a Crosstrek

Mr , Fun Guns Hutchinson no worries brotha. It’s a quick and easy install. It definitely makes a difference and it feels a little more uplifting to have a quality looking shifter.

@TomVangTV 4 жыл бұрын

If you're located outside the US, I believe you can get this item through your dealership. Since this is an OEM item, I would assume your dealership is directly able to order this from their factories. The website to where I bought mine from is directly from a US Subaru Factory. I hope this helps!

I am facing issue with shift lock every day. Can it be resolved by doing things described in the video?

@TomVangTV 6 жыл бұрын

Harin Patel yes you can follow the steps to examine the shifter and see if there’s anything wrong with the joints or shift points. After that, if not resolved, then you can proceed with a mechanic.

@tomklein9937 4 жыл бұрын

what do you mean by “shift lock”? i think there are 2 problems associated with the impreza/crosstrek shifter, one is a brake switch recall, and the second is the park zone switch in the shifter, which prevents the key from coming out of the ignition.

No. Just embrace it's an automatic. You're not fooling yourself or anyone else. Love your automatic, accept your automatic for what it is. Don't try and hide it with a leather *cough* shift *cough* boot.

Lol! I've encountered a few of these guys at meets before. It was quite embarrassing. I felt bad for them...technically it was their own fault for putting themselves into that type of situation. I'm glad to be out of a paddle-shift automatic. If i were to drive auto again, it would be a normal auto.

@kennyrmrz 6 жыл бұрын

@Joe Joe most new automatic cars nowadays come with a leather wrapped shifter boot - because it looks nicer. This is swap isnt done to "feel" like your driving a manual, its done because it just looks so much better.
