Turn In Concepts Linkage Update Subaru WRX 5-Speed 1997-2005 | Eliminate Shifter Slop | 1001-01-0003

Video description

Bring back the crisp shifting feel your Subaru deserves with the Turn In Concepts (TiC) Linkage Update for 1997-2005 Subaru 5-speed manual transmissions. Designed specifically for pre-2006 5MT transmissions without the external return spring, this upgraded linkage replaces the factory non-serviceable assembly to eliminate excessive side-to-side shifter play and restore precise gear engagement.

If your WRX feels like you're "rowing in pudding," this is the upgrade you've been looking for.

Fitment:
Subaru WRX 5-Speed Manual (1997-2005 applications*)
Compatible with pre-2006 Subaru 5MT transmissions that DO NOT use an external return spring
*Please inspect your factory linkage before ordering to verify compatibility.

Features
- Complete replacement shift linkage assembly
- Upgraded TiC performance linkage bushings
- Eliminates excessive side-to-side shifter play
- Stiffer, more wear-resistant bushings than OEM
- Direct replacement for non-serviceable factory linkage
- Designed specifically for early Subaru 5MT transmissions

Overview  

TIC-1001-01-0003

For your: Subaru WRX 2003-2005 (Some years) please read below.

5MT 1997-2005ish

This linkage update is for the pre-2006 Subaru 5MT that DO NOT have the external return spring. Subaru stopped using the external return spring sometime in 1998. If you are unsure please look at your linkage under the car to check.

What it does: Eliminates much of the side to side slop that develops in the lever due to the stock bushings wearing out.

Why a whole linkage when the other styles we offer are just bushings: The STi, the 05+ Legacy 5MT, and ALL the 06+ Subaru 5MTs have a linkage that you can completely take apart and replace the bushings. The cars prior to this in that 1998 to 2005 timeframe have a linkage that is riveted together and cannot be serviced or upgraded.

What about the bushings - won't they just fail again: No. As part of the Updated linkage you get TiC linkage bushings. They are much stiffer and more wear resistantt that the stock pieces.

Why you want it: Simple. Better definition of each gear so you're no longer rowing in pudding.

Suuuuuuuper annoying instally but very high quality, and now I have a nice crisp shift. The install is annoying because of Subaru, not this part. You definitely need this if you have an old Subaru with a floppy shifter.

Great restore mod!

Since I was under the car replacing the bushings and oils I figured it would be a great time to replace thus old oem part. TiC provided all the necessary hardware for the job but it would be nice to see it come with a spring pin cause I had to order that separately after I got it in the mail. (Didn't realize I'd need a new one). Great product though stiff shift feel.

Linkage for short shifter

I can always trust IIR with being a one-stop shop for all parts my car needs, even if I need to buy multiple parts for an install. Another plus is that they ship out thing pretty quick as compared to other sites I’ve shopped at.

Worth the effort.

The roll pins were a major pain, but an extra long punch makes the job doable. Worth the effort though. Major difference with shifting. Much more precise.

Shift linkage replacement

Great product for stock replacement. The install took a little effort but it wasn't too bad. It was delivered very quickly as well.
