Subaru spent countless hours in research and development designing their SS. The shift angle is correct for our transmissions. The aftermarket aren't. Yes, it works, correctly? No.

Well, if everyone ran their car without tires, and said their cars ran great.. Would you run without tires too?!?

You've been very lucky then.. Changing your tranny fluid every 15k might have helped your tranny run strong..

I'm rarely on this board anymore. Someone sent me a link to this. I find it REALLY funny that our shifters are causing blown trannys. Please send me some proof of this. I've been making Subaru Short Shifters for over 10 years now. Well over 15,000 shifters sold.
Our shifter nor ANY shifter will hurt a tranny. only the nut behind the wheel can hurt a tranny. PERIOD. There is no additional wear on the shifter forks. This is 100% B.S. You see that little universal joint? yup. that will take an offset angle convert it to the angle you need. just like a steering shaft on every car out there.
why does SOA sell a complete linkage. (BTW its identical to the stock linkage thats in the car now EXCEPT the width of the center pivot is narrower.) Is because thats how THEIR supplier send it to them. Its easier for them to install a complete unit on the assembly line like that vs having them to install just a shifter on the linkage.
I'd love it if you could email me some proof with pictures of damage cause by our shifter or any other one out there.
