are u sure about this, we only had to modify the lil ball at the end of the shifter to make it work on my friend joshs leggy, he did this in the process of the 5mt swap, although i may be wrong all i rmember was grinding that ball down and drilling a hole through it for a pin to fit through it

You might be able modify it to fit the stock legacy linkage, but to get it to fit using stock components without modifying them, you will need the parts I mentioned.

I used them when I did my AWD & 5MT swap.

yeah i think that's about norm.

I've got one. I need to sell it. I just didn't care for the sti or kartboy on the transmission that's in my car. I've driven with both shifters on a wrx, and they felt fine.....
