Shifter linkage bushings - trying to source some!


Recommended Posts

I've been trying to find some new shifter linkage bushings for my Legacy S401 STI, which has the 6 speed, not the 5 speed like a normal B4 RSK.
I've tried my local Subaru mechanic (SubLab Whangarei), and they gave me a price, at $107 +GST each (I need 4, so $428 +GST).
They even checked out Impreza/Forester/later Legacy listings, and they all came back with different numbers (and probably different sizes they said).
They said that before about 07/08 STI didn't actually catalogue anything they put on the cars they made/modified (with the 07/08 hatch STI, it became a factory built car, so stuff is catalogued). It's a bit easier with Impreza stuff, since they were made in large numbers. But for my S401, they simply said "Good Luck."

 

My current (temorary) solution is electrical tape on the crush tubes, and I refitted them. It works, but won't last forever.
So I'd like to find some new bushes in the near future.

 

I've been looking abroad in the US and UK for stuff, and they only have vague listings, where it just mentions the model, and year. No measurements or anything listed anywhere.
The measurements I have:
19mm OD on bushing,
12mm OD on crush tube (if it's larger, it's no biggie; I can have new crush tubes made).

The best listing I have found, and what looks to be closest in terms of the photos, has been from Torque Solutions on rallysportdirect.com
Click here for listing - it says it's for an 04-05 USDM Impreza STI (V9 Blob eye in our market).

 

The shifter support bushing, which is just a rod that goes straight to the back of the box, is fine. No play. But I'll probably replace it at the same time.
I've found a listing for it. Gonna buy it at the same time.

 

Also gonna buy some other stuff off of the site if that is the right (or close enough) bushing kit, to make the shipping less painful.

Hit up corgiwerx on facebook. He’s an aussie guy that does these for 4th gen Legacy’s mainly but he’ll know if his one’s would fit yours. Gonna be getting bits off him shortly

Cheers for that. Definitely will give him a buzz!

 

Does he reply to his emails? I don't use Facebook (I forgot my password, and cbf to reset it). I got his email from my Mum's Facebook 😅

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
