shift getting sloppier?
i've got the ss and it did nothing bad to mine. i took it out for a bit and THEN the baring in the rear transfer case blew out! obviously a problem NOT related to the kbss. i just got it all back together and i got the kbss back in there! thanks tom

Take it to the dealer. Should have no problem getting it fixed. Mine did it around 35k.

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.

You have my sincerest apologies concerning my accusation on your fine product. I guess its best to say it is the nut behind the wheel driving their cars. At this time I have no proof of what I stated.. Again, I am sorry for any undue stress I have caused to you and your great product.

It might still be under warranty as you already have on record an issue at roughly the same mileage. Take it in ASAP and check.
To make your shifting and driving better get all this stuff:

To most people suspension mods means sways/struts/coilovers, and tranny/driveline mods means short shifter/flywheel/clutch/lsd
In reality there's so many mods out there that do make a difference. Read the suspension FAQ on nasioc for detailed info
