Note if you’re doing this yourself… do not get the cheap snap ring pliers. There isn’t enough tension on them to lift the ring. Also make sure the tips come close enough together to grab the ring. Overall…. I had a lot of fun doing the installation! Good luck!

Not gonna lie.....this project looked a bit complicated but you nailed it! What a nice video with super clear descriptions. Very enjoyable to watch.

Lots of steps but not a hard install at all! Just follow the steps and you'll get it done. Make sure you buy a good set of snap ring pliers!

Another mod I definitely NEED. I feel I've mastered the factory shifter and am almost afraid to mess with it but all those that have added a shorty claim its worlds better.

@SubiSpeed Жыл бұрын

Awesome! If anything a short throw will make your shifts that much more effortless, it is a great mod for those who like driving

Worth every penny of the install. Me n a buddy knocked out the install in an evening together and WOW it's night and day.

my local Subaru dealer installed the BW short shifter, Perrin intake, exhaust. Shifter is short and tight needing effort , Shift knob sits low. Ordered BW shift extender and different shift knob for leverage. Just these few upgrades have transformed the car from stock. l am loving this BW short shifter wow. inatke on stock tuning make a difference. and steering wheel upgrade so cool.

How much better/shorter is this than the STI shifter that comes with some of the Premium packages? My 2022 WRX came with an STI shifter.

Just picked up my first subie, a 22 WRX and this will probably be the first thing I mod! Stock shifter is just too mushy.

@ubroberts5541 Ай бұрын

The stock shift is just fine. It’s not “mushy” at all if you are an experienced three pedal driver.

@@ubroberts5541 yeah and if you actually modify a vehicle, it is mushy... If you like it that way then good for you.

For some reason I can not remove the 10mm bolts after removing the shifter from the larger shifter housing. I installed a Boomba shifter stop shortly before installing this and believe that may be the problem…

@subispeed I'm confused why your description listed a "Subaru STI Short Throw Shifter" but in the video you only removed the WRX shifter then installed the BilletWorkz and FactionFab parts?

Yes it can, just jack it up on each side and place jack stands front and back. other than that the install process is the same!

This one is alot shorter from what I hear.

@Patriot_wrx 10 ай бұрын

STI shifter is virtually the same as WRX. 10 percent shorter, still loose, still crunchy. The real STI difference is the actual transmission, clutch, etc. This one is supposedly 35-55 percent shorter than the STI one.

@peejread2309 10 ай бұрын

@@Patriot_wrx thanks for the info. Do you know if this shifter voids warranty?

@Patriot_wrx 10 ай бұрын

@@peejread2309 Subaru legally cannot void your warranty. They can, however, refuse repairs. They can only refuse repairs if they know for certain that the aftermarket modification affected the current issue at hand. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that installing an aftermarket shifter and/or, doing shifter work on your own, would risk Subaru not fixing/replacing transmission and parts, shifter and it’s parts, shift cable, clutch, etc.

Short throw shifter? Longer gears would be much better. I own a 2023 WRX. It has plenty of power for longer gears. My only complaint about my car.I call first gear the snow gear. 😊
