In order to avoid Hijack this Thread, I'll continue solving this issues, here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/113907-lookin-for-a-front-lil-lift/page-3?do=findComment&comment=1277571 Kind Regards.

Definitely the shifter has moved, an inch backward precisely. I removed the thick rubber boot with its metal base, and the Shifter makes all changes smoothly and easily, moving freely; so the obvious solution is to move the thick rubber boot with its metal base, an inch backward. Now I'll search among local Junk Yards, maybe I could find a Better rubber boot because the one I have is Cracked, also maybe I could find that part which has the rubber cube for dampening the Drivetrain's Vibrations. Kind Regards.

After I installed that: ► The Shifter really Feels more Solid and Rigid, but nothing exaggerated. ► Beside the normal "Feeling" of the Shifter going into a Gear, Now you can Hear a small muted sound on the Floor, along that feeling. ► Engine's vibrations now are sent in a certain small amount, to all the Floor, without the Rubber Cube, but the Shifter's Vibrations are the Same as Before. So the Rubber Cube was for isolating the Drivetrain from the Body, not for the Shifter itself. Those three are the only changes I could notice so far. Kind Regards.

Since I installed the 2" lift kit, the whole drivetrain moved to the back around an inch or an inch and a half, I had to cut that extra lenght from the Exhaust because its tip went too far outside from the rear Bumper. Also there is a thick "inner" rubber boot on the Shifter for the Manual Transmission, that goes hiding under the Visible rubber boot; and since the Shifter moved to the back on its position, that rubber boot keeps "Pushing" the shifter, affecting the Gearing in this way: The three "Upper" gears, 1st, 3rd, and 5th, are going in Smoothly and the shifter stays there; because the rubber boot doesn't make any kind of opposed force to the shifter on those positions. You can see my "BumbleBeast" shortened Shifter in Third Gear, Here: But said rubber boot does an "spring effect" on "Lower" gears, 2nd and 4th, because despite that the Shifter goes into those gears smoothly, feels like the Shifter is wanting to pop out from Gear, back to Neutral position, like if it has a return spring of some sort. As you can see, Here: And that is caused by said inner Rubber boot, since the Shifter isn't centered on it. Does anybody has fixed this? Kind Regards.

The maximum tallness should be between 1¼" and 1½" But since the whole drivetrain has moved backward an inch... ...I had to do a small bend on each side to make it Fit there. ► Edit: the Drivetrain moved due to the Lift kit, which dropped the Engine's Crossmember, I shall welded the tube an inch closer... my mistake. Kind Regards.

Beware, in case you go with Bigger Calipers, you'll need a Bigger bore Master Cylinder also. Kind Regards.

After posting that last photo, I realized that the Perfect Blue Sky, and part of my Garage's Roof are reflected on the painted metal... I'll wait 'till the paint is fully cured, to reassemble it, then I'll report the feeling and results of my "Repair" If something goes wrong, then I'll search for a suitable rubber replacement... Kind Regards.

After calling and going to some Vulcanization Shops asking for a Rubber Cube's redone, they were Honest to me, telling me that Yes, they can redone a Rubber Cube there, but the thing will not Last too Much... Also, I measured the area, since I have installed a Lift Kit that dropped the Engine's Crossmember, I decided that instead of a one inch cube like it came from factory, now it will need another half inch to work easier. So due to the Lack of Time and the Lack of spare parts locally, I obtained a Thick Squared Metal, and welded 1½" ... ...tall there, in place of the 1" Rubber cube. Now the Anti-Rust paint is Drying at the Sun... I'll Report back if the Full Metal Part delivers too much Drivetrain's Vibrations to the Shifter. Kind Regards.

Get a Bigger Compressor, or ask Help from a Mechanic Shop. Feel Free to Ask Questions, comment or Share your own Experiences & Photos, on the Discussion Thread regarding this suspension's Modifications, which is Here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/130950-suspension-improvements-for-subaru-loyale/ Kind Regards.

Also you'll need the Clutch kit and Flywheel, but you don't need the extra cable (which is attached to the Clutch's fork) for the Hill Holder. Edit: All your answers are Here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/119332-3at-to-5sp-dr-conversion/ Kind Regards.

The damaged Shifter linkage misses the Ruber "Vibration Damper" mount, which by the way... ... just broke away on my Subie recently...

You're doing it Wrong, Dangerously Wrong ... ... You Must assemble the New Toyota Shock Absorbers + the New Honda Coil Springs, OUTSIDE the Car, Not in the Car; then, you simply put the assembly, known as "Strut" in its Place on the Car. Super Easy. Nope. The Complete Writeup on the Subject, is here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/106807-improved-shock-absorbers-and-spring-coils-on-loyales/ Kind Regards.

If your Subie does Not need to pass emissions' test, I kindly suggest to block the EGR instead. Kind Regards.
-
I bet that the PCV valve is getting stuck! Worth try to remove it to Deep Cleansing and Test, replace if necessary. Kind Regards.
-
You're Welcome! Yes, not much difference with the EA81, mainly the adaptor plate. Maybe it is time for remove it for deep cleansing, or find a new one in case it doesn't close / open properly. Kind Regards.

Electropneumatic and Hydraulic suspensions are Different. For new parts for your Subie, try with your nearest Subaru Dealer. Maybe you're Lucky and find what you Want, otherwise try e-Bay. People with worn / problematic Electropneumatic suspension, usually retrofits Standard suspension components, instead. Kind Regards.
-
Thanks for the Response. Also I believe that the Automatic could manage the Extra big Tires, in a Better way. Kind Regards.
-
Yellow! ... ... my Choice of Colour. I'm Glad that you found Useful information on my Writeup. Kind Regards.

In my own Humble opinion, and after Years of experience, I can tell you that Gates is the Best of the Best indeed. Kind Regards.

So, I started a whole New thread on the "Subaru Stuff Wanted" section, Seeking to find a set of Subaru Mini Center Caps, that might fit onto these Wheels. ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/152527-mini-center-caps-with-subaru-word-or-stars-logo-for-aluminium-wheels/ Kind Regards.
