Short shifter in a 96 impreza?

[Spilner]

the swapped gc I picked up still retains it's stock trans at this time with an upgraded clutch. IIRC the linkage in the 96 was different from the RS' and I don't believe there is a short shift made for that specific year. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Because I'm under the impression I'll need to swap the linkage with an RS to get a kartboy to work. I don't like it when I shift it feels like I'm rowing a boat.

You are right. Swapping the linkage ain't that bad though. What year is the other trans you have?

The other tranny is a 97

get the rs linkage.

Put the '97 tranny and linkage in, its the same as RS stuff. The problem you will have putting just a linkage in is with the u-joint on the shaft right out of the transmission.

Well that kinda defeats the purpose of having the spare tranny.

If you are just looking for a shorter throw, you may want to talk to Jaketips.

or I could take the tranny out of the 97 and use the linkage from that then buy a kartboy. If/when I blow up that tranny throw in the 97 and I'm still good to go ;)

If you can pull the shaft with u-joint out. They are different on the older vs newer style trannys in the way the linkage bolts to it.
