[Bu11dogg2]

did you remove the bolt or is it missing?

[07xtreme]

there's a bolt there, and no i didn't take anything out haha...that's just straight up slop

[mdungelman]

Figure out a solution?

[07xtreme]

im still looking for diagrams. it kind of looks like i can remover that universal so i can replace it, but as of right now i haven't found any evidence that says i can

[07xtreme]

cruisin google images just now i came across this...

i love when i find stuff like this

looks like the bushings in the "u-joint" are toast. cheap fix.

[07xtreme]

$58 at Subaru, $42 through genuine Subaru...i just hope they are all the same. the only part number i can find is the one from that 2.5rs thread

[squeethebee]

I believe they are the same. The only differences should be on the older style 1.8L 5 speeds.

I've looked into those u-joints too, swapped tranny before having to fix it though, you should be all set with all new everything. It's gonna shift NICE!

you can buy just the bushing, ill get you the part # later. i have a set sitting in my tool box because i need to do mine when its not sub zero out

[Bu11dogg2]

get it fixed?

[07xtreme]

i put together the rear end in my gf's dads 56 last night so we can get it off the lift, i plan on doing this week or this weekend, im spoiled and hate working on cars laying on my back. but i got everything i need now, front and rear kartboys, that joint for the linkage, and the spring that i dont have haha. now i just need a short shifter that fits. ive bought 2 now that dont fit....

if anyone wants a kartboy knock off shifter or a B&M knock off just let me know...my set up is big ball, skinny shaft(dirty sounding haha)...and the two shifters are small ball skinny shaft and small ball big shaft...

[shtbxr22]

pervert! :lol:

[hatchsub]

Ever get this fixed? From the video i couldnt tell if the slop was in the Universal or at the part that goes into the trans. There are two rollpins at that point that could have a lot of slop too with mileage.

[07xtreme]

its def. the universal...i have not fixed it yet, but this weekend itll be done

[07xtreme]

so i went to do it today, nothing wanted to come apart. who woulda figured something 14 years old and from new england. but come to find out the 2.5rs part is not the right part. so im going to subaru tomorrow to figure out the correct part number. i did get the kartboy bushings in tho.

[07xtreme]

well this is what i need....

still looking for the correct part number tho...

[07xtreme]

well, these are the part numbers they are leading me to, but still doesn't seem right, hope they can figure it out at the dealer, my heads starting to spin

35011AA080 - Part number 35011AA080 was superseded by part number 35011AC020
35011AC020 - GEAR SHIFT LEVER AY - $105.90
35011FA010 - GEAR SHIFT LEVER AY - $88.37

[07xtreme]

oh and here's the website Ive found said info on...

[07xtreme]

[07xtreme]

just got off the phone with jake(jaketip42) up at manch subie... he found the part for me, im going to pick it up after work then back to the garage to do it all over again. ill post the part number and my final out come later tonight

[squeethebee]

Good luck man, be sure to post up the correct part numbers/prices so others can benefit from the seemingly large amount of time and effort you've put in!

[07xtreme]

haha i put entirely too much effort into it, all i really had to do is call the dealer hahaha.

the correct part number is 35047AC010...there's also two bushings you need to buy

holy poop what a difference, the shift pattern is like 1/8th of what it was, i cant believe i drove around with it as sloppy as it was. its no short shifting super car by all means but it feels great
