Whiteline Gearbox Positive Shift Kit Bushings | 2008 Subaru WRX/STi

My bushings arrived. I also ordered the group N trans mount. Together they made a night and day difference. It's a small upgrade with big results.

They actually sent me the wron parts by mistake. I contacted them and they immediately fixed the issue. No hassle, no problems. I'll leave another review about the parts once installed but these are the go to guys for parts.

These are fantastic addition to smooth out and resolve some slop in drivetrain

I have this paired with Group N trans mount and the Cobb pitch stop. Honestly, this is how the car should have felt stock. Your inputs on the pedals have a more immediate effect on the car. You feel the power transfer and the car wants to move as soon as you give it input.

I do notice a small increase in NVH in lower gears, 1st-3rd, at low RPM. But with the A/C on and radio at low volume you won't notice it. You will notice the increased responsiveness.

Install was easy to do, I used ramps in my garage. Make sure you have a torque wrench. Specs are all over NASIOC, simple search.

Combine this with the perrin trans mount and the rear diff inserts for a smoother and direct feeling shifter. Under acceleration there is a noticeable difference in how the car feels, definitely more planted and tight. It doesn’t really accelerate any quicker but you feel more of the torque and it feels sharper if that makes sense. If you are smooth with the clutch you are rewarded with a smooth engagement and none of the jerky motion even when shifting under hard acceleration. If you dump the clutch between shifts it still jerks a bit but nowhere near as bad as it was before. Also never dump the clutch ;) There is more nvh when taking off from a stop or accelerating but you get used to it after a week or so. My passengers haven’t complained so it isn’t that bad. Overall worth every penny.
