Anyone with an 04 STI do this mod? I'm thinking about doing it but for some reason, I am uncomfortable with this...

Need some insight into the install trials and tribulations...

Please make any comments concering this upgrade/install

If someone has done this and could help out with the install, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I was planning on getting the front bushing and read some reviews/ installation guideline on nasioc and scoobymods. It sounds like a good mod.

Norris...this would be a good mod for both of us...now we have to find a guidance counselor to help us out...

 

Greg...you are funny...I can see you on the terminal in Honda's waiting room scribbling this drawing with some small boy next to you asking if you needed help....hahahaha

 

I have done the front and rear bushings... it's very easy. The hardest part is removing the old bushing since it's one piece, but I did the install in about an hour. Ask ty about the short shifter, the only guidance I can offer is to remember to put the car in reverse and hold the lock-out collar that way or else it's a PITA to get back in.

 

Planning on to it, we can discuss furthermore... let me know

 

Also to add... at this point if I had to do it (on my car) again, I would just cut off the old bushing since I wouldn't ever put it back in again.

And use lotsa lube!

 

so 3 way swap/ installation again? :banana:

 

greg that some funny s*it good drawing gets the point across but kind a reminds of a monkey doing a math problem

 

These are the kinds of helpful hints that assist everyone...appreciate it.

I did not like the short shifter because it puts your hand in a wierd position if you have the armrest extension. Something to consider if you want comfort. To me armrest extension > short shifter

i was referring to his preference in driving- i'm suggesting the cusco engine/tranny mounts---- but may be too "harsh" for what he might be willing to have in the car.
personally i like the "feel" of the short shifters.. but i really don't think it's gonna make my shifting improve any better(by drastic measures)
after driving my friends car w/the mounts(cusco) and stock shifter... IMHO...it felt waaay better than having a short shifter-
