I have a '96 impreza coupe. 1.8 5spd. I made the mistake of ordering a short shifter from kartboy for a 97-01 impreza by mistake. Needless to say the shifter setup is compltely differentA! Rather then sending it back and paying 15% restocking fee, I decided to buy all new parts from a 97+ 5spd.
Iv'e ordered the trans rod so I can matt that with the newer short shifter and ive ordered the bushing that goes at the bottom of the short shifter from a 2002, I was told it's the same from 97+.
The shifter bushing does not work in my factory shifter rod, If I order a shifter rod out of a newer impreza, would this work with the new bushing and short shifter?
I could have saved money & time by ordering a complete impreza short shifter fully assembled for $240.
