[@OsightblinderO]

I'm about to do exactly this on Saturday. Hoping to God the roll pin will work out for me like it did you cus I'm dreading it. Wish me luck!

[@HeavyMetalWRX]

Bruh, it's almost tank top season 😏👀

[@Flatline_WRX]

not for this boi lol

[@f8monty37]

How are you using a 12mm wrench to get the bolts out???

[@Flatline_WRX]

It’s a ratcheting wrench but yea it’s a bitch to do lol

[@sss-fg4xh]

Did you end up supporting the transmission with a jack? Not sure if that's required, Cobb shift plate install instructions show it being supported by a jack. Thanks.

[@Flatline_WRX]

Just PMd you on Reddit 😃

[@JerryNeutron]

For me getting that pin back in was the biggest pain. How am I supposed to knock the pin back in if I can't see whether its lined up with the hole or not?!

[@Flatline_WRX]

Small Rapps and jiggle jiggle the plate. I had the exact same thought but doing what I just listed you literally feel the pin drop in and go

[@michaelochoa5171]

I noticed when you were rowing through the gears you seem to get resistance going into 6th. Have you experienced this while driving?

[@Flatline_WRX]

Yea 4th 6th and R seem to have a bit more resistance than before. Like noticeable but not problematic.

[@dakotadraper4334]

how did you jack up the front end? i see you backed it up on ramps in the rear. i couldnt find a good jack point especially since the suspension bottomed out

[@Flatline_WRX]

The pinch welds on the sides. That is the designated lift site. Once I jack it up I use a jack stand. Then I move to the opposite side and do the same.

[@dakotadraper4334]

@@Flatline_WRX do you use the special pinch weld attatchment for the jack? pinch welds just seems like they could bend easily

[@Flatline_WRX]

@@dakotadraper4334 no I don’t. Those pinch weld points are designated lift points from factory.

[@dakotadraper4334]

@@Flatline_WRX okay cool, appreciate it man! love the build

[@Flatline_WRX]

@dakotadraper4334 anytime man. And ty very much!

[@aogawa22]

Hi, how is the effort with the shorter throw?

[@Flatline_WRX]

It’s really not that much more effort honestly but the shifting is way better. Like when I get in now and drive it feels great

[@STEVE-pc7mc]

Does this void warranty?

[@Flatline_WRX]

Nothing can void your warranty. The dealership has to prove that X part installed caused a failure.

Suns out guns out!

Pew pew 🤣
