Product Description

The GFB 4001 delivers what the company claims is the shortest throw shifter on the market for the 5-speed Subaru platform, using a unique linkage design that lowers the pivot point relative to the shift linkage rather than simply shortening the shift knob. The result is a genuinely tighter, more direct shift feel - with 3rd-to-4th throw reduced to as little as 55mm at the shortest setting - while keeping the stock gearstick height intact.

Because the throw is fully adjustable, owners can dial in exactly how aggressive they want the shift feel to be, rather than being locked into a single fixed reduction. Installation is straightforward and done entirely from inside the car with basic tools, requiring no cutting of the shift boot or modification to the transmission tunnel - a genuine bolt-on upgrade for WRX, STI, and related Subaru owners chasing a sharper, more engaging shift experience.
