so i finaly got the part and ready to put it in on my next day off i just dont know wat tools im gonna need to do this and if it helps i got the bushings and the joint

Can you provide some additional details as to what part specifically you're looking to replace.

I'm gonna guess you are replacing the shift linkage bushings? depending on what setup you have you may need a set of punches to drive out the roll pins that hold the linkage boss to the selector shaft. This is a royal PITA. It helps if you put the trans in 5th gear.

Other than that a set of metric sockets and wrenches is all you need.

I think I did mine with 1 wrench and 2 sockets. One is 12mm, the others are 13 or 14. Unbolt the old stuff, bolt the new stuff on, and rock and roll. There are threads around that show the process if you do a search for shifter bushings.

yea im doing my shift linkage bushings...i tryed to do them yesterday and it didnt go well at all i tryed all 4 gears that i have left(1st 3rd 5th and reverse) so see what would be the best to be able to get at it...and i couldnt get at it for anything i was under my car for a half hour trying to get a wrench around it and after many close calls with a wrench and my eye i gave up:banghead:...any words of advice as to how to get to it or tricks...something...?

What year is it, '97? Try a search under "shifter bushings"--been lots of discussions over the years. Here's one from when I did mine:

Good luck.

When I did the shifter bushings on my 97 impreza I had to remove the exhaust shield to get access at the bushings. I think I was able to wiggle the shield out without removing the exhaust, but yeah....it's not too fun.

idk y i didnt think of that and ill try it when i take a nother swing at it...and i can tell its gonna be a blast

so 2day i took a nother shot at em and it didnt work this time with my friends and came to the conclusion i cant do it...anybody willin to take a shot at it? i live in new york long island

What helps the most is to move the shifter stay bracket out of the way. That's the round rod with the large bushing that is attached to the back of the transmission. It's a 12mm lock nut that faces towards the drivers side of the car. You remove the nut, then pull the washer off. The spring on there is pretty easy to stretch enough to remove the washer still attached. Then you can detach the spring from the shifter linkage and place it and the washer aside. The washer is keyed so it will only go back on one way.

Then pull the stay bracket off of the mount stud and push it down or up or wherever you can to get it out of the way enough to get at the bolts on the linkage.
