Does the WRX shifter linkage will direct fits into BC style Legacy turbo?
If it doesn't direct fit, what kind of modify I needs to make this installation to a Legacy turbo?
Thanks for reply!

There is a thread about this already ( a few actually) It fits fine but you need an adapter so it will connect properly.

Thanks for your reply MK, but do you know what kind of adapter I needs?
Will it comes with the WRX linkage as well or I have to buy it at the dealer?

It *might* come with the linkage, depends on how much the person you are getting it from is including. The part is: 35047AC030

Yeah, you WILL need it to install the wrx linkage, the one that is on the legacy doesn't line up the same w/ the wrx linkage. part # is 35047AC030

How hard or easy to install this kind of linkage?
Does anyone has the write up for the installation?
Thanks for help!

It's exactly the same as installing the stock shift linkage (easy), except you will need to remove the roll pin that holds the adapter piece onto the tranny. I suggest getting an actual rollpin punch and a large hammer to do it. If you can't get it, a shop with an impact hammer can.

Thanks man, does those kit better the STi one?
Since I have an option on the STi or this WRX short shifter linkage, but the price are very different around $100.......
Which should I take , STi or WRX stock?
Sorry for that much questions...
But thanks for all help!

my brother has the sti short shifter on his 95 impreza. it has a very nice crisp feel to it w/a good throw.

Do you have any pictures of this mtk? I'm having a hard time trying to visualize it.

You'll need the adapter for either wrx or sti linkage. I am extremely happy w/ my wrx linkage, several others have the sti and really like it too. If i had the money, i would have gone w/ sti (200 more

)

i'll grab a shot of the stock one

no need for a picture of the stock one it's sitting in the trunk

I take it the legacy linkage is like the cyl part, instead of the U part like the wrx.

No, I think it's just a different size.

I've collected all the parts, and looked at everything on the car, but have not taken it apart yet.

By the way, there is (or should be) a roll pin inside another roll pin.

? whats this roll pin you're all tal;king about?

Does anyone know how much the adapter piece costs? I can get a WRX shifter w/ only 18k miles on it for pretty much free and I really need to address my stock setup because it's soooo sloppy.

THAWA · Post by **THAWA** » Sun May 02, 2004 4:52 am

subaruparts.com says like 40 bucks or so

legacy92ej22t · Post by **legacy92ej22t** » Sun May 02, 2004 4:59 am

Ouch. That's a little salty.

Since I'm getting the shifter pretty much free though I guess it's worth it.

Matt, try AutoWebAccessories.com! Maybe it'll be a few bucks cheaper.

Cool, I'll check that. Thanks for the HU Vikash. =)

Thanks for your info too Harvey. =)

Sorry, I meant Hardy! My mind is slippin' my friends, like an OEM clutch going on 300k miles.
