COBB Short Shifter REVIEW

[@tommyevans5148]

1:48 thats what she said

[@mlgseba]

I have the SPT short throw that came as an option. The Cobb looks significantly shorter than the SPT

[@christopherkossman314]

What happened with the Reverse lock? Did it just get canceled out?

[@jorgeacuna9427]

this is only a 5 speed

[@omglol4483]

Hi guys please advise i bought a conquest and it appears to be short a short shitf coz it only revs til 3500 rpm and is. Not short on power thanks

[@Cyrus_95]

hey just wondering how you got the bottom of the shifter in blue?? i know on the cob website they only have black and red that i seen

[@rosie684]

Shifter bushings for sure. That rear is such a pain in the ass though. One bolt goes in but the other doesn't. Took me 45min just to get both bolts lined up and in just by feel.

[@Flatfourdetailing]

could you please make a video on data logging mike if you do data log your car. im gettin an AEm intake and a cobb v3 and would like to know how you datalog. thanks!

[@bennychan723able]

F and R bushing is a must I have kartboy and F n R bushing, it felt much better!!!

[@itsBehri]

Do I need to reinstall the INNER shifter boot ? It gets in the way of the short shifter and I was wondering if its really needed ?

[@jrodscluster]

Im surprised you thought the stock shifter was good. To me it was so sloppy i had to get a short shifter along with bushings immediately. The bushings make a huge difference and also more noise but you get used to it.

[@recobra69]

Did your Wrx come with sti short throw shift and if it did what's the difference now?

[@krnt13]

I think I will never get used to that height, I think the stock height was pretty good.

[@gjkds]

do you really need a tune with an aftermarket intake

[@GhostyG89]

@smurfinWRX Yo Mike… Did you have the stock shifter that came w/ the WRX.. Or, the SPT short throw shifter you can get aftermarket from Subaru? I have the SPT SS from Subaru, and I am curious on how it compares to the COBB one.

[@andrewdevall4438]

I'm just now getting my first stick shift car, and reverse is next to first instead of being on the right...scares me a little bit. Has anyone screwed up and shifted to reverse before?

[@davidestrada5115]

Happened once, never again. Just don't put a lot of force when you shift into first gear, you might end up pushing the knob to far and shift into reverse.

[@buckeythedog6132]

Normally there is a safety that won't let you do that

[@rixus7238]

+BUCKEY THE DOG like a button

[@theELiTEboarder]

Is this the "stage 1" or "stage 1 +" with the bushings?

[@JayDubz1985]

Hey, what gear knob are u using. Quite fancy getting one similar.

[@loganproctor8505]

What's shifter bushings?

[@DireReplay]

Can you adjust the height of the shifter?

[@bender4runner]

Yes!

[@Pearldrumsfourlife]

what does the bushings do?

[@MorciGGz]

I should call the dealership but they're closed right now, but could this void my power train warranty ?

[@SMITHZAC000]

no

[@brrehhh]

where did you buy that shifter? been looking for that one, only found a 6 speed version of it. or is that the 6 speed? and it fits into a 5speed?

[@SMITHZAC000]

Check here for most if not all aftermarket Subaru parts www.rallysportdirect.com/

[@Oblio1942]

I dont see the shorter length of the stick itself being a plus, wouldn't you want it a tad bit longer so that its closer to the steering wheel and therefore makes your shifting process that much quicker like on a race car with the sequential shifters? I mean thats just my opinion from driving my manual car anyway, like not so long that it looks goofy, but just like an inch or so longer.

[@SkateWeird4]

I have a question, I'm interested in the Subaru Hatchbacks but I'm unsure of the difference between a 5-speed and a 6-speed. I know that the WRX has the 5-speed and the STI has the 6-speed but Is it as big of a difference that I'm making it out to be or should I not worry about?

[@xCxnnor]

zvch.21 the 6 speed has one more gear which is better for highway cruising and better for gas mileage. Not a huge difference really. 5 speed has taller gears.

[@AzNxMinty]

hey Mike, can u make a video about do u need bushings when u install a short shifter or not ? thank you :D

[@kaser92337]

What percentage are your windows tinted?

[@KillasaurusArcade01]

do short shifters ruin the transmission? people say it does but i dont understand how it does since it doesnt even change the transmission, just the pivot of the stick?

[@theluckydawg2498]

because your hand has to travel a shorter distance to change gears, which makes your gearchanges quicker. Too quick shifting might be harmful to some transmissions, but if you have a sports car like Smurf you don't have to worry about that.

[@paulmarsdensr8199]

Good video. I thought of putting a, short throw shifter in my base model wrx. I'm going to wait for the STI. Do you still have your skyline GTR? Do you like it better than the Wrx?

[@JayWithDaBee]

I installed mine today after having it in my closet for months will say it’s well worth it, completely changes feel of the car and I have a base model 2012 wrx , haven’t installed the bushings but will soon , if u wanna do any first mod this one is it.

[@cardwell88]

You finally broke down and got a new shift knob.

[@SmurfinWRX]

lol i know right

[@paulmarsdensr8199]

Take care and stay safe brother.

[@badhair93]

Please make a video on the bushings if you do get them!!!!

[@beauvalera1415]

does it feel smooth or does it feel hard to shift and is it notchy? Mine feels super notchy.

[@brandonduguay3512]

Beau Valera me too its hard to shift

[@conor2948]

I just tested drove a wrx with short shifter felt like shit

[@Shylu787]

Hey, just wanted to know is your shift knob heavy? If it is how much does it weigh? :) awesome video btw

[@savtejdhillon]

No more Camaro knob?

[@touchdown2018]

third gear looks like neutral

[@xdannyplanbx]

Thanks for the update.

[@jsantos1082]

Hey mike, can't wait for ur bushings video man!

[@scoobysid04]

make sure you have a stronger clutch too....stage 3 or higher

[@ayedeesea2432]

why are short shifters better?

[@jackwheatley9114]

There is a shorter throw meaning faster gear changes. And I suppose it feels nicer

[@TheKutia]

i need one...

[@dazzinn909]

Great video like always!

[@jesusduarte8326]

You thought the subaru OEM shifter was good ? Something is wrong with you

[@midnightthinker5479]

The gears arnt short the throw is.

[@มัลคอล์ม]

Error...

[@battleknightcoolguy]

Plz shout out

[@DoubleZ77]

Those are his friends tags who passed away while serving

[@crazyhorse469]

Dude you are very forgiving, the stock shifter is a piece of crap, way too stiff and occasionally has trouble getting set in the gears (esp in reverse). Changing it is a MUST.
