Specifications
Part Details:
Fitment note: this is a newly released COBB part. Fitment years shown are inferred from COBB’s related 5MT and 6MT Shifter Bushing Pack kits, confirm directly with COBB or verify your specific model before ordering if precision matters for your build.
The factory shift linkage bushing at the rear of the shifter mechanism is soft rubber by design, and like the front pivot bushing, it compresses and degrades over time, adding front-to-back slop that dulls shift precision. This COBB Shift Linkage Bushing replaces that soft factory component with a tighter-tolerance piece, cutting down the play in the linkage for a noticeably more direct shift feel.
A direct replacement for both 5-speed and 6-speed manual Subaru transmissions, and a natural companion to COBB’s front pivot bushing for anyone chasing the most complete shift feel improvement.
Key Features
- Fits 5-speed and 6-speed manual Subaru transmissions
- Direct replacement for the factory shift linkage bushing
- Reduces front-to-back slop in the shift linkage
- Sharpens overall shift feel and precision
- Not an emissions-related part, legal in all 50 states
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this actually fix?
It replaces the factory shift linkage bushing at the rear of the shifter mechanism, which softens over time and adds front-to-back play that dulls shift precision.
Should I get this along with the pivot bushing?
Many owners pair this with COBB’s Shifter Pivot Bushing for the most complete improvement, since one addresses front-to-back slop and the other addresses lateral pivot slop.
Does this fit both 5-speed and 6-speed transmissions?
Yes, this bushing is designed for both 5MT and 6MT Subaru applications.
