Cobb 02+ Subaru Impreza WRX Rear Shifter Bushing

Part Details:

The COBB rear shifter bushing is designed for 2002+ Subaru Impreza WRX models equipped with a manual transmission. It replaces the factory rear shifter bushing to reduce excess movement in the shifter assembly and improve overall shift precision.

By limiting compliance at the rear of the shifter linkage, this bushing provides a more direct and consistent shift feel, particularly during quick or aggressive gear changes. The upgrade improves driver feedback without altering shifter geometry or increasing shift effort significantly.

This rear shifter bushing is intended as a straightforward bolt-on upgrade and is compatible with both stock and aftermarket shifters. It is suitable for daily-driven vehicles as well as performance-oriented applications where improved shift consistency is desired.

Key Features

• Direct replacement for the factory rear shifter bushing
• Reduces shifter play and unwanted movement
• Improves shift precision and consistency
• Does not alter shift throw or shifter geometry
• Compatible with stock and aftermarket shifters

Vehicle Fitment

• 2002+ Subaru Impreza WRX (manual transmission)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does the rear shifter bushing affect?
