Engineered for Accuracy

Every feature of the DM-1 Shifter is optimized for control and stability. The chassis-mounted design anchors the shifter firmly in place using existing mounting points with no modifications needed. Paired with the Precision Shift Arm, it replaces the OEM shift arm to provide unmatched accuracy. For further refinement, a billet aluminum centering mechanism with twin detents and a ceramic-coated torsion spring ensures precise alignment and eliminates the risk of missed shifts.

 

Designed Around the Driver

Driving style and comfort often demand flexibility, which is why the DM-1 includes a tool-free adjustable knob height, allowing more than an inch of easy adjustment directly from the boot collar. The integrated reverse lockout system strengthens the 5th/6th gear stop while ensuring precise reverse engagement. For 5-speed models, the lockout hardware is included but remains inactive. Together, these features allow you to tailor shifting response for either street driving or track performance.

 

Built with Confidence and Quality

Confidence comes standard with the DM-1 thanks to its reinforced 1st and 2nd gear stop, delivering a firm and consistent feel on every shift. Installation is easy, requiring only a simple bolt-in process with no special tools. To guarantee lasting quality, each unit is hand-built and tested by DARKMATTERX under strict standards. Plus, full compatibility with OEM Subaru shift knobs ensures the DM-1 blends perfectly with your WRX interior while delivering a next-level
