Shifter Bushings

Post by kimokalihi »

I just got my new STI shift boot and trim piece along with a new leather 5spd forester/wrx knob(very nice!)and I'm waiting for my GroupA short shifter and lightweight pulleys to arrive(taking forever from turbometrics, won't be buying from them again).

I'd like the shifter to have a more solid feel to it instead of being able to woble it left and right while in gear.

Which bushings should I get? I see all these bushings on ebay saying they're stronger and stiffer than the stock bushing material. Are these any good or should I just go to the dealership and get them?

Also which years fit a 91ss? STI, impreza, WRX?

WRX Energy Bushing 02-06

Agency Power Performance 02+ Imprezas
"Unlike the competitors, we use a nylon material which is much stiffer than the factory and urethane."
ebay

Thermal Plastic shifter bushings
"Made of state of art material THERMOPLASTIC, unlike polyurethane material as easy broken. Resistant to oil, alkali and ozone, self-lubricating, resilient, high strength and hardness."
ebay

Cobb WRX shifter bushing Polyeurethane
ebay



What's the best material to look for when buying shifter bushings? I saw "thermoplastic" or TPV, Nylon, Polyeurethane,

Alright, I did a bit of searching and if I go stock from the dealership I think I need these parts:

35035KA030 - 2 large bushings
35035AA030 - 4 small bushings
051904220 - 1 Spring pin
33022GA081 - Spring

Should I go OEM or WRX/STI bushings?
