wait a minute….so those random divots where the center console is, is for coins?? I've been using my Subaru wrong
Would this be a very similar process on an 04 Impreza?
Is this the same on a 2005 Impreza?
I changed this, and I still have a sloppy shifter
I also helped alot of subaru owners with this job, but for me I prefer to remove the transmission crossmember to work more freely on the roll pin. To remove this use an old 3/8" extension to punch it out first then use a roll pin puncher to hammer it out. And inserting the pin, use the the same 3/8 extension cup to guide the pin in and then hammer the puncher to push it in and let 1/4" pin showing out the bottom. Thk you for the video from the island of Aruba in the caribbean.
Do you think this would fix the shifter being loose in a up and down motion? I don't have much play at all left to right but and can pull up on the shifter, I can tell it is grading while I drive as well. :/ Great vid though, I will be double checking these joint soon.
Is there a reason they don't use a bolt instead of a roll pin? Seems like a huge pain in the ass that only adds to the slop.
My shift linkage that I just put in seems to go in a diagonal direction as I go through the gears. 98 legacy limited swapped to manual transmission
The new shifter joint has no place for the spring to connect. How do you attach it?
This DOES NOT look easy for my level of "expertise"… However, I am so glad I found this video! This is GOLD! Even after installing the lower "Shifter Bushing" combo, my shifter feels supper sloppy. This should take care of it! Thanks again Mr.SUBARU! Nailed it.
Okay apparently I've been trying to replace the wrong part the entire time haha
Gonna replace mine this weekend! Unfortunately NY rust everywhere.. Question though, mines a 2002 forester which looks the same in the video but mine doesn’t have a spring that yours did. Do you know we’re I could possibly get one? eBay and some Subaru websites and no luck
Love this! I have the same issue one my JDM WRX! You make it seem so manageable haha I thought I'd never be able to fix this one my own. Thanks!
How did you go about getting that pin out? Did you drill it out from under the car?
Thanks @MrSubaru1387. Another great instructional video. NOTE: For those doing this to a '96 year model Subaru, there is a different part # (35047AC010) for this bushing.
would a rusted shifter joint cause harsh vibrations at a certain RPM? I have a 2010 subaru impreza and I get a loud vibration at around 4k RPM. I already replaced the shifter bushings and greased the shifter ball/cup but that only helped a little. The shifter joint looks very rusted so I think it might be really stiff. This setup looks pretty much identical to mine so I assume the procedure would be similar?
What parts did you replace in all?
am i the only one that lol'd at 8:25 when you threw the old crappy one down.. lol… good video.
95 legacy L use the same shifter joint? 35047AC030
Fit an 02 wrx?
Can't get shifter roll pin out
This is exactly what's wrong with my 98 outback 5Spd. I'm learning how to drive stick on it, and the sloppy shifting makes it more difficult
thanks for the vid man going to do this myself now 1993 liberty RS turbo
I mamanged to solve the shifter stick wobble – it was corroded linkage hole (which connects with roll pin to the transmission), which got soft/enlarged and allowed for movement. Also I tried to reuse old roll-pin – big mistake, it was dented, so allowed some movement as well!
So new linkage and new roll pin fixed it for me.
I found that shifting into 1st and 2nd gear got easier, after replacing transmission fluid with Subaru OEM 2k miles ago (it became almost as smooth as shifting into 3-5 gears). Can't believe proper transmission fluid can have such effect (before it was filled with some red stuff at sullivantires by previous owner)
Hey MrSubaru 1387 whats the easiest way to get a bushing out and in of kunckle for trailing arm for 2006 imperza wrx
Dont know how old this Video is of if you will answer but i just got a 96 1.8 impreza coupe and for some reason the owner before last removed the driveshaft to the rear end do you know why that is
What center console is that ? Looks waayyy different than USDM wrx
Can you make a more realistic video where it takes a whole day of dremeling the old joint off and another whole day just driving the first part of the roll pin into the new linkage? Cause that’s a lot more accurate for me this weekend. I can’t even get the new roll pin pressed in more than 1/8 inch! It doesn’t budge at all!
Dear MrSubaru, do you know please how you remove just the shifter shaft with ball joint. (out the white greasy thing) I stopped using brute force as I didn't want to brake anything, but thats what people have said do? Surely i'm missing something..?
That is the floppiest knob i've ever seen
