its states that the gear change is the shortest around.. then they offer a another shifter with 10% better shfting at the bottom..

nice write up though..

 

yeah i know haha! i thin its short enough tbh.

hows yours getting on si??

darc

 

Short shifter is yank termanology for quick shift, only the Spec C gets that standard so you could improve your 6 speed box with an after market one

i think if my box was any closer i would miss all kinds of gears lol

mine is a short throw anyway

darc

 

Should be up and running soon matie..Got some nice k sport 8 pots to put on her while the box is being fitted..

Dont think i'll be messing around with short shifters on the 6 speed. im sure its a step up from the 5 speed when changing gear..

 

Interesting write up indeed, although....

Adding to shifting smoothness in the WRX STi is the design of the transmission’s gearing. Helical gears with spiral-shaped teeth mesh easily with smoother action during gear changes.

Technical knowledge failure - the gear sets are in constant mesh and only lock onto the shaft when you select the gear!

Didn't realise the 6-speed box had a lower gearing in 6th than my WRX does in 5th though.... I thought the WRX's top speed was limited by gearing (?)

 

sounds good mate

would be good to get it back before may 8th but i dont think its gonna happen its only 2 weeks away

 

Si that box has a short shifter on it;-)

 

Cool, have a read of this...

So intake kits do work!

I think mine has as well lol I was having a look for one I'm sure it's there

That would explain why they are so close

The Subaru 6-speed was designed to handle the massive 300 lb-ft of torque developed by the STi’s turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine.

I hope it can handle more than that

 

The STI has a longer top end/higher mph over a wrx (not forgetting a higher rev range etc), a uk car will theoretically hit 180mph, a wrx will be 167, a blob jdm will be 171(ish)

Tony

 

Its a close ratio box, it wont have a short (or quick) shift on it, only Spec C's have those from the factory to make it even quicker (so uk cars and other JDM's wont).

Tony

 

Mine must of been added before I purchased it,

Darc

 

Its a short throw anyway, but drive a spec c and you will know if you have a quick shift or not

Tony

 

I got one fitted to mine, love it !

It only reduces the front-to-back movement, not the side-to-side motion across the gate...

dunx

P.S. Mine has a <>200 mph terminal now, if very unlikely...

 

Cant wait to try it out matie..
