Note I removed the stick shift know as it was super small in my hand and so worn down it was shiny and didn’t even have numbers on the shift pattern anymore.

After driving a wrx with a short shifter for so long. First thing to do to the Leggy was change out the stock shifter for my stock wrx (factory optioned short shifter)
