• Built for Abuse: Unlike stock rubber that degrades with heat and oil, this Black Urethane construction is chemical resistant and designed to last the life of the car.
• Short Shifter Essential: The critical companion to any short throw kit, ensuring your reduced throw is precise rather than vague and notchy.
• Homegrown Quality: Proudly Made in the USA and includes everything needed for a simple, hand-tool installation.

Product Description

The 5-speed Subaru transmission is a tank, but the factory bushings make it feel like you are shifting through a bucket of gravel. The culprit is the soft rubber bushing located at the front anchor point of the shifter assembly. It was designed to absorb vibration, but it also absorbs your input, allowing the shifter to wiggle left and right even when it’s in gear.

COBB Tuning engineered the definitive cure. By swapping that compliant rubber for rigid 95A Durometer Urethane, you stiffen the anchor point significantly. This doesn't just make the car feel faster; it creates "positive gate engagement." When you push the lever towards a gear, it goes there immediately without the rubbery deflection.

This upgrade is absolutely critical if you are running a Short Throw Shifter. When you reduce the throw distance, you lose leverage, making precision even more important. A short shifter combined with soft stock bushings often results in missed gears and frustration. The COBB Front Shifter Bushing bridges the gap, giving you that "rifle-bolt" mechanical action that every Subaru enthusiast chases. Don't let a ten-dollar piece of rubber ruin your driving experience; tighten up your tolerances with COBB.
