Whiteline Front and Rear Shifter Bushings
Subaru 5MT Models (inc. 2002-2014 WRX)
Features & Product Details
RallySport Direct carries suspension and drivetrain upgrades by one of the most established brands in the Subaru performance industry, Whiteline.
These are Whiteline's solutions to the OEM rubber bushings. The factory shifter bushings in your WRX are made using rubber materials that will degrade over time just like any wear and tear item. The problem is that it causes excessive shifter movement and it can be hard to find gears at times. Whiteline has developed a solution with replacements that feature long-lasting urethane construction. Not only will this restore the overall shifter mechanism, but it will provide a more precise shifter feel. A great investment that you can perform for a weekend project that will improve your overall driving experience.

Installed on a 2004 Forester XT and paired with the Torque Solution Solid Shifter Linkage U-Joint. While the original u-joint was the worn part for me, these bushings were easy to do at the same time. I would attribute a better shifting feel to the u-joint and consider these a complementary and worthwhile maintenance item to do at the same time. I have a lot of NVH from Group N motor and trans mounts, and so I have noticed no NVH difference with these installed.
Cost about $150 in labor to get installed, completely worth it in my opinion, my 13 wax with Kartboy short shift kit felt amazing after installation. Would recommend their other products as well!
Bought and installed this not too long ago because I thought I needed bushings for my sloppy and bad shifter play I have, later come to realize that the bushings aren't at fault. Either way I installed these bushings and only months later the rear bushing is already cracked where the bolt holes are! I see why other brands put metal sleeves there I will be putting back my OLD rear bushing that has metal sleeves as that seems to actually be better quality than this one, not too happy.
Cant beat the price here. Make your shifts nice and crisp. Simple install.
For the price this kit cant be beat. Excellent quality as to be expected from whiteline. I have the Kartboy kit on my Forester, these seem like they might be a hair softer, not not enough to make any amount of difference. For the price ... go with this kit.
