We install the Perrin Brass Shifter Bushing in our 2015 WRX and go over how easy it is to reduce the slop in your shifter! - Авто та транспорт
Let this dude do the rest of the install videos from here on out. This was excellent!!
I can confirm this mod works on a 2018 WRX. Took me about 25 mins to install with a jack and jack stands. I Also have the perrin shift stop but the bushing so far has proved to be more beneficial. After installing the bushing the shifter feels a bit tighter and there is less noise and clanking when shifting. Its also helps the shifter snap into gear faster and basically improves shifter feel. Glad I purchased it.
Richard do you have the short shifter install from the factory? And if you do will any of this mods will be beneficial for the shifter o make any difference?
I bought and installed both the Perrin shift gate and shift bushing. Installed both in less than an hour. Video is extremely helpful! If you have a WRX, get these two upgrades NOW!
Have my Perrin bushing in hand, ready to install it this weekend!
Thanks for these videos, SubiSpeed. I’ve been able to find a video for virtually every modification I’ve done on my 2020 WRX Premium. I just put this bushing in and installed a shift stop a few nights ago. Keep it up!
Just did this on my '19. Word of advice is the bushing can be stuck in there. Instead of fighting it use WD40 and it'll slide right out. Also, THAT COTTER PIN CAN GO FLYING, and it'll add 30 minutes to your job looking for it on the garage floor.
🤣 thanks that's some good advice
Great product. Virtually no play with the shifter while in gear. The screwdriver leverage method didn't quite work for me. I found that applying pressure with my thumb on the center of the bushing to be much easier. I may have loosened it a bit with the screwdriver but was able to push it out with my thumb in a few seconds.
🚨 if you are having trouble getting the new bushing on like I was, try taking a small piece of sand paper to the rod the bushing goes on. This was the only way I could get the new bushing on!
Great video man.
Just installed my Perrin shift stop and brass bushing. Took me 15 minutes for the shift stop, and about 45 for the bushing since I jacked my car and had to cram under and it is in a pretty awkward spot.
when installing perrin bushing should car be in neutral? thanks and take care great video
Thanks this is helpful!
Hey like ur video just had a question I have 2015 sti is it still in the same location as the wrx in the video also will that part work on sti aswell?
I’m thinking of getting the short shift adaptor plate do i need this also to make the box feel better and tighter shift feel overall or can i just get the plate only ??
do i need to put any grease in the middle of the bushing where it slides back on the rod or just around the sides ?
SubiSpeed, do you guys sell short throw shifters for 2015 WRX? I went to your website and I see Cobb and Kartboy are available but they are listed as 2015 STI. I don't know if these fit on 2015 WRX model? Thanks
does your guys' WRX have the factory STI short throw option?
I just installed the perrin short shifter.. what will the bushings do for me..
Anybody know the torque spec for the two 12mm bolts? Thanks in advance
Great video!
Is this the same assembly that Crosstreks have?
What kind of grease does perrin use?
Aren't there two cable linkages and not just one?
I tried to install, The bushing I got is very very tight and doesn't go into the pivot, i tried greasing genorously but no luck. Do you think I should try for a new bushing or has anyone faced this issue?
Dileep I know this is super late but for anyone else I had this issue as well, I tried for over an hour to get it on with no luck, I finally took a small piece of sandpaper and sanded the rod a little. After that the bushing slid right on
My bushing is seized on, tried to pry off and rubber broke around the metal. Any suggestions?
Does this come for an STI 2004 and where can i by it ??
Does this work if my WRX came with the STi shifter?
Yes as the transmission connection point is still the same. It would work.
I have the STi short throw option installed from dealer on my 15 WRX would this still be compatible with it?
Yes as the transmission connection point is still the same. It would work.
Great thanks, in for one
Forgive me, I am noob. But, why does Subaru use rubber if brass/metal is that much better? Does any more vibration come up through the shifter after switching to brass? Just curious before I order one. Thanks for the video!
Rubber is cheaper when building thousands of cars, also it absorbs any possible vibration. We did not notice any new vibration with this mod. But to anyone asking us about additional vibrations and etc after modifying a car, I always tell them to leave it stock. If you like the stock feel then don't mess with it. :) If looking for something a bit more sporty and connected feel to the mechanical workings then it's a perfect simple mod.
Thanks for the reply. I'll go ahead and order one and see how it goes.

Do share your thoughts on how it feels with the brass bushing
Comes down to cost of production for Subaru. Rubber is less expensive and easier to manufacture. There is a slight increase in vibration at idle, but it is hardly noticeable.
diego87tennis I will, but may have to wait a while. Even though it should be a pretty quick install...I've been too busy lately.
I know that's a long shot but I've tried installing the perrin shifter bushing on my 2018wrx sport. It's way too big to fit the arm ring. Is there defects running around? Didn't buy it from subiespeed btw.
YO! im having the same problem, any fix?????
@@jakeambrosia5126 I dont have the car anymore but I was able to install it. We lifted the car and pushed the bushing prying using a steel rod . It poped right in perfectly. Protect everything to avoid damaging the bushing. You wont be able to install it with your bare fingers laying under the car.
@@vinceruel5131 alright cool, thanks for the response.
should the care be in neutral when doing this?
I tried to install bushing yesterday but had a hard time re-install the cotter pin back. It flied away and I couldn't find it any more. Do you know where I can get a replacement for the cotter pin?
This just happened to me! Wondering if you ever found a replacement?
@@mariocaltagarone5652 Any update on the replacement? I had the same problem.
Getting out the rubber bushing was a pain in the ass but that was it.
the bushing did f*** all tbh. rubber one was still good. the shift stop on the other hand makes a big difference. gearbox still feels like a bag of rocks but with a proper engineered bandaid fix.
I assuming this uses a 2-cable system as I haven't had a chance to look at the shift mechanism yet. If it does, is the cable in the video the front-to-back shifter cable or the left-to-right shifter cable? Also, would the other shifter cable use the same bushing?
So i ordered this product from you guys and im having a problem that it seems no one else on the internet has encountered... the brass bushing is not fitting inside of the circle at the end of the shifter cable. Every video i have watched, the cable seems to push right onto the bushing with little effort. I used generous amounts of lube and still no luck. Someone please let me know if they ran into the same issue. (2019 wrx)
Having the same issue with 2021 :(
same did u ever get it on?
@@alexrendon5160 I forced it on, I do not recommend doing so. Ended up taking it off but it was a pain in the ass
im having that same exact problem as i type this.. any recommendations please!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@ladfan2649 never worked for me, had it like 3/4 on for a while but ended up taking it off. was a major pain in the ass and i felt no difference after installing lol
Will the techs notice the change at dealership?

How’s your day going?
Will this fit my 2017wrx?
yes
I’m having trouble taking off the bolts that holds the cover plate 😭😭 I tried using wd40. Help 😭 I’m dumb
Mecha_Ghidrah get more leverage...and make sure you’re yanking the right bolts.
Torque specs?
Did it exactly the same but then my 5th gear wouldn’t shift wtf happened
Whats up with those shaky ass hands B. #shoutout to Asian Michael J. Fox
I just did this to my 2017 WRX, but now am worried that I may have somehow voided the warranty... Will they hold this against me and count it as voided? Should I reinstall the original one?
Warranty's can't be voided, a mod can only give them reason to deny the claim. The mod would also have to directly affect the broken piece that is covered by the warranty to be used as a reason to deny the claim.
Research the magnuson moss wareanty act
Does every subie owner just casually own a jack and jack stands?
Yes
Your Subi didn't come with a jack and stands?
It just SLIPPED BACK ON, F off right there. Your bushing was special picked and not WAY over tight inside the linkage
John Kelly lol what
Just saying my bushing would go onto the little shaft, OR go into the hole for the linkage (with a LOT, A WHOLE LOT of difficulty), i stressed and shoved and sweated trying to get both things to line up and it simply would not get the angle to install correctly, no matter which part i installed it into 1st. My bushing was NEVER going to fit on both, i even countersunk the inside to give the install angle less of a lip to overcome and still nothing, the rubber gasket eventually broke off so i threw the thing across the garage, then found it to return it. I found many similar complaints in the product review, wondering if they should try another batch bc theirs was NEVER going to fit either.
@@johnwethekylow currently going through this right now lol and my hands are fucked trying to get this thing on the bushing
Good luck man, if you succeed and can share any wisdom I still want to get one on my car.
@@johnwethekylow So I ended up just taking off the part and just putting back on the OEM rubber one because it would not slide onto the transmission rod like in the video. fuck all that
