Cobb Double Adjustable Short Shifter for 2004–2005 Subaru Forester XT 5-Speed

The Cobb 211317 Double Adjustable Short Shifter upgrades shift precision on 2004–2005 Subaru Forester XT models equipped with the factory 5-speed manual transmission. It reduces throw by up to 50% and adjusts height independently using heavy-duty steel construction and a spherical bearing pivot that replaces factory rubber bushing slop for fast, positive shifts.

This direct bolt-on part reuses the OEM shift knob and boot while adding a self-centering spring for race-inspired feel and daily usability on turbocharged SG-chassis Foresters.

Key Features

  • Up to 50% Shorter Throw: Fully adjustable for quicker gear changes without sacrificing control.
  • Adjustable Knob Height: Independent tuning matches driver preference and ergonomics precisely.
  • Spherical Bearing Pivot: Eliminates all slop for smooth, mechanical shift action like factory racing setups.
  • Self-Centering Return Spring: Ensures consistent neutral return and positive engagement every time.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Black e-coat finish resists corrosion with proven durability on track and street.

  • Fits 2004–2005 Forester XT 5-speed manual transmission only.
  • Not compatible with 6-speed manuals or automatics.
  • Limited lifetime warranty to original purchaser.
