Subaru Genuine 35047AC030 Impreza WRX Legacy Forester Outback Shifter Bushing Linkage Joint

Great price, Forester 2003 Just what I needed for good price, on time delivery. Recommended

Worked great for my subi with the worn out shift linkage. Was a bit of a challenge to install but getting the pins out with only a drift punch was the hard part. Get a real long punch kit and it can be done without disturbing any of the other crossmember or drive line parts.

Got rid of all the shifter slop in my Forester

100% perfect for my 2005 Subaru WRX. The pin is a bit of a pain, which this doesn’t come with a pin. It didn’t bother me because I was able to reuse my old one but if you intend on replacing it make sure you buy one also because it is not included. Feels like a new car with the way it shifts.

The roll pins are a bit tough to get the right angle on them with a long punch, but worked out with patients. I suggest getting the updated pinch bolt and replace the roll pin, especially if cant lift car up to have easy access. But great product and quality. Make sure to check the rear and cup bushings in the shifter housing. No more sloppy gearbox.

2004 Subaru WRX, fit perfectly. Really cleaned up the slop.

Installed this easily with the car on jack stands in my garage. Re-used the original spring pin that hold the joint to the transmission shifter stub. I important tip- after driving the pin out from the bottom up through the top side of the old joint, use a punch or bolt of the same diameter, inserted from the top side to hold everything in alignment while you re-insert the pin to install the new joint. Also, I used a foot long piece of steel rod with about 2 inches of clear rubber hose attached, to hold the pin on the rod, while I hammered the pin into place. Rod works well as a long punch and you dont have to hold the pin on the end because its captured by the hose.

Solved my sloppy shifter issue.

I was very happy with the quality of this product. There is no more slack in the shifter. The material that even surpasses the dealer quality in my opinion.

Came in true OEM packaging, its a real part. Major PITA to install on my 1999 Forester, but I got it eventually. Shifts feel crisp and I dont hit 3rd when I was aiming for 5th anymore.
