Subaru Impreza Crosstrek Forester Automatic Shifter Replacement

[@hastingb]

I did this on my 2015 some time ago. Glad to see that a video howto was finally uploaded. Yep it looks a million times better. And single handed!

[@funnypubgwar8826]

Where I can get it to buy

[@Squazzoo68]

Used the link to buy the same shifter, followed your instructions, & everything worked. Only took me 15 minutes! Pretty good, seeing it’s my first auto upgrade/mod that I did myself ever. Thanks Tom! Hope you are enjoying your WRX

[@DJBirbman]

Thank you brotha. I'm glad my video was helpful towards your install. It definitely makes a difference in terms of overall feel and quality by simply replacing the plastic pieces. As for my WRX, I absolutely love it! Aside from it being a sedan, the WRX answers everything I wanted when I had my Impreza. The oomph was really all I was asking for and the WRX delivered. I'm still one of the handful of folks who have not yet modified their WRX. I remind myself where I came from, and the WRX is plenty fast to get me in trouble.

[@Squazzoo68]

TomVangTV I just have a 2012 Impreza base model. It’s paid off, not under warranty & only has less than 60k miles on it(I just work a lot lol). I have no interest in going fast or powerful, I just want to spruce up the car & improve the “creature comforts” as you say, since I plan on driving it for another 5 years. I’m 50 & putting the money I would’ve been paying out for a car payment towards retirement, & dressing up my car is fun for me right now. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@alfistasubbie]

@@Squazzoo68 Does this fit a 2013 Impreza Premium with NA engine? Everywhere i look for this part# for the boot itself, it says doesnt fit

For those wondering it is part numbers 35180SG032 and 35133SG000

Thank you so much for doing this vid, i absolutely hate those cheap looking shifter plates on automatics and Subaru is one of the few automakers left that are still not offering a shift lever boot across their model range.

Best decision I ever made. My ‘15 Impreza looks a lot sportier and feels better in the hand too.

[@DJBirbman]

King Troll yeah I felt that too. Wasn’t sure if I was overthinking it haha. It feels a little nicer like a short shifter

Thank you! I fixed my car because of you! The key was stuck so I used a paperclip to make it think its always in park

[@MC-cs3qt]

Do you know what part numbers you ordered?

[@zennoodle]

I'm going to do this down the road. Just grabbed a 2017 Forester and I'll see how long I can stand looking at the plastic trim. I did have the XT some time ago and do appreciate the leather boot 100x better. Thanks for the quick tutorial! Will be referring to this in the future!

[@SuperTikhon]

Nice! Literally was just searching for that shifter in my area. Subbed.

[@WiseSilverWolf]

Thanks for making this video, I recently took my 2017 Impreza to the dealership to replace the radio because it was starting to get cracks under the glass display and when they took out the old radio they scratched up the shifter knob on my car, I was worried it might be a huge complicated process to get the part they scratched replaced but it doesnt look too bad

[@seniorcitizen5431]

(2023 Forester) I dropped a mailbox key on th shifter cover plate and it SLID out of sight towards the REAR direction. Question: Do I have to get that key out to prevent any damage or can I just let it stay where it slid to? The automatic shift lever works fine. I am 80 years old and don't want to have an expensive serviice bill to remove the surrounding plastic to get at the key.

[@karendancheck6335]

This is awesome! Thanks for posting! Just bought a 2019 Crosstrek Premium and I"m not a fan of the plastic shift knob. I don't mind the plastic shift plate as much as I mind the plastic knob. Found a nice black leather one with orange stitching for $20!

[@dannylb14]

did it work for the 2019 crosstrek? im thinking of doing the same to mine

[@Hey_Rollie]

I’m in the same boat! Anyone have any updates? I would love to do this for my crosstrek...any advice on part numbers to get would help!

[@tcp22]

At first I didn't mind the plastic shift plate. But then summer came and when driving around the noon time the sun would bounce off it and no matter what I would do (short of putting my hand over the plate cover or setting something on it) I'd get a glare in my face making for a pain to drive. Been looking for options to address this and here I am. Anyone actually try this upgrade in the 2019 Crosstrek?? I'm tempted to just buy it and try it to see if it works myself as I like the look of this option better than painting or vinyl wrapping the shift plate.

[@jeffmersmann6383]

The link to the product appears to be for the shifter boot only. Where does can you get the panel itself? Either piano black or carbon fiber? I've very much like to get rid of that dipped faux chrome, but not sure where a replacement panel itself can be ordered. I imagine you would need to order a panel and the shifter boot as two separate products.

[@DJBirbman]

The gloss black piece you're referring to is included as a two-piece combo when I purchased it myself (at the time of this video install). Now that I own a WRX, we have limited selections as well, especially in the aftermarket for these pieces. Most of anything and everything are stickers or 3m type of items. If there are replacement parts, they're usually pretty pricey.

[@AF-fr8mc]

Hi, i saw that you have worked on sti’s and crosstreks. Most parts in the interior is interchangeable.. question is have you ever wondered if you can do a front end conversion(fender, bumper, hood) from sti to crosstrek

[@DJBirbman]

Anthony F Hi Anthony. Front end conversion yes will be possible. However you will need the front fenders from the WRX/STI. Yes on hood but it’ll be non-functional since you don’t have a turbo and an intercooler. There may be some slight adjustment needed for the headlights but I youre doing the full conversion, I believe you can also swap the head lights.

[@AF-fr8mc]

TomVangTV oh yeah i forgot to add sti headlights.. it should be all bolt in right and no mod needed? I know hood wont be functional.. i just loved the 15-18 sti front curious gow it will look on the crosstrek. Thanks!

[@milestoempty]

Just purchased the Trim kit for my 14. Do you have information on the center console swap? Ive got the tan interior and also would prefer the black console of the WRX.

[@DJBirbman]

The black center consoles from the 11-14 WRX's and the 15-18 WRX's fit the 12-16 Impreza 2.0i perfectly. The only thing to be aware of are the metal frames that the screws are placed through to keep it in place are slightly different. On the impreza, the 2 screws are on the sides on the rear seat side vs the WRX consoles where the 2 screws are inside the consoles. You will have to order the brackets from Subaru or find one from a salvaged WRX off craigslist. But it's a simple plug and play. The door cards, the WRX seats (all) are also compatible and a simple plug and play.

No if your Impreza didn't come with paddle shifters, you won't need to. Do you have a picture of your Impreza's interior? If I'm not mistaken, it should fit yours. I'm not too sure how the interior differs from your Impreza and the 2.0i's.

TomVangTV well I’m about to buy an entry level 2015 Impreza sport and it doesnt have the steering wheel with its bells and whistles

[@DJBirbman]

It's a very good and reliable car. Just be aware of certain things before you commit to buying it: -Cabin noise is quite annoying after a while of ownership. Everything rattles and you can hear droning, especially after about 45 mph. -MPG is good, but fair for an AWD vehicle. I averaged 30 city/freeway driving like a granny. -The car is slow - especiallu from zero, don't expect to be able to get on the freeway as easily as an accord, civic, or camry/corolla. -Subaru paint quality is very poor. Front bumper will get lots of dings. But overall, it's a very nice looking car, very practical and easy to work on - simple maintenance, etc. Hatchback trunk space is awesome, especially with fold down rear seats. And remove the charcoal filter immediately when you get the car.

[@jaylegen]

I wasn't aware until I was watching your videos about that factor but I believe just like I would have to commit of doing mods to it to get it as comfortable as possible but I like your mods

[@DJBirbman]

Whitson Williams no worries. Feel free to email me if you ever encounter any issues. I’ve owned the car for 3 years and did all of the maintenance myself aside from the 100k fluid flushes. I know this car very well and as long as you keep up with the oil changes every 6k and the filters every 15k, you’ll never have to worry about maintenance

No. Just embrace it's an automatic. You're not fooling yourself or anyone else. Love your automatic, accept your automatic for what it is. Don't try and hide it with a leather *cough* shift *cough* boot.

Lol! I've encountered a few of these guys at meets before. It was quite embarrassing. I felt bad for them...technically it was their own fault for putting themselves into that type of situation. I'm glad to be out of a paddle-shift automatic. If i were to drive auto again, it would be a normal auto.

@Joe Joe most new automatic cars nowadays come with a leather wrapped shifter boot - because it looks nicer. This is swap isnt done to "feel" like your driving a manual, its done because it just looks so much better.

[@crxdelsolsir]

Stop making an Auto look like a weird Manual. If you want a Manual look = Drive a Manual

[@TheShangralaaaa17]

if you didnt want an ugly shifter you should've bought a better subaru

[@mcluskyok1608]

Price 😢

[@tomsadventure708]

will this application work with a 2015 impreza 2.0i ?

[@DJBirbman]

Mr , Fun Guns Hutchinson yes, it will work with the Impreza 2.0i from 2012-2015. The 2016+ has a different center console. This will also be compatible with a Crosstrek

[@tomsadventure708]

Thanks for your reply

[@DJBirbman]

Mr , Fun Guns Hutchinson no worries brotha. It’s a quick and easy install. It definitely makes a difference and it feels a little more uplifting to have a quality looking shifter.

[@icthisguy]

I have a 16' sedan, what shifter will work with it? Thanks!

[@DJBirbman]

Erick G. Yes it should. The 2017+ received a refresh so the interior design is different.

[@ericshingle9134]

Any idea if this will work with a 2016 crosstrek?

[@t.money402lopez7]

Will it fit on a 2018 subaru forester 2.5i premium?

[@DJBirbman]

No it will not.

[@Wiz_94]

Will this work on 2013 subaru Impreza sport 2.0I?

[@DJBirbman]

Devahn Grant yes it will.

[@Wiz_94]

TomVangTV thanks boss

[@DJBirbman]

Devahn Grant this is a very easy install, which will take you less than 15-20 minutes. I recently helped a subscriber install this on her car. The dealership tried to charge her over $200 for 2 hours to install this. They also claimed it was incompatible and that they never did this job before. If you need direct help, or are confused, e-mail me and I can help you step by step. [e-mail]

[@Wiz_94]

TomVangTV thank you. The only issue I'm having is finding a shift boot for a right hand drive because the one listed is for a left hand drive

[@zentrikin]

Would this fit on a 2013 crosstrek?
