Quoted from Brian AT IPR-
"I just got a run of our new 6-speed shifters back from plating, and wow do they look GREAT!

We elected to follow the OEM method of construction for reliability. They look very much like the factory part, but look close, and the subtle, but important differences will show. They have a revised 'short-throw' geometry, a slightly shorter height, and are made with heavier material that stock for solid operation.

These will be available for shipment within a few days.

Sitting next to the stock piece, you can see the differences and the similarity.

we hope they will be delivered to Import Image in the next 14 days!

thanks for looking!

best regards,

Josh Nahm

all LGT's 2010 and newer have a 6 speed, and all manual Legacys have them too.

Inside info help. Jess wants a 6mt.

2010 Leggy have a new 6mt which in NOT the STi 6mt but other than power handling all 6mt's use the same shift linkage connections. The main thing being that it is like the SpecB trans and with gearing based on the 05'+ WRX 5mt.

Jess wanted to know if it would work in the Leggys because her friend at work just got a new Leggy with the 6 mt and wants to get a sts.

It will not work on 2010+ legacy 6 speeds. they are cable shifters.
