    96 Short Throw shifter

    I was doing a few google searches and I cannot for the life of me find a short throw shifter. I check kartboy and rallysportdirect.com.

    What's the deal? Maybe my keywords are garbage.

    Thread revival! So I've been looking at short shifters and reading a lot on the forum and I've since learned (after writing one or two posts already) that the shifter in my car is the old style and thus lacks any kind of appreciable aftermarket support. So it looks like I'll need to swap linkages. It looks like I can grab any 5MT linkage from 1997 and on and that should be fine, right?

    The first is my current shifter.

    This is what I'm thinking I'm gonna need.

    Two months too late probably but that last picture matches my '97 Legacy L shifter. Did you do the swap and if so, what bushings did you use?
