- The 2022 WRX has the same slop in the shifter as the previous generation. This can be fixed to have a more solid shifter feel with this easy and inexpensive mod!

Crazy that it doesn't come this way stock.
keep it up guys, love seeing all the 22’ install videos!
Best...and First real useful videos for me! I already ordered this shifter stop. Thanks for making these videos, keep it up!
OK this convinced me, gonna pick up a shift stop for my '20
Mandatory install with aftermarket short shifter, shifter plate, Raceseng knob, Perrin steering dampener lockdown, Group N transmission mount/bushings and aftermarket pitch stop. Then the car will start to feel more solid without spending too much money.
For the record... I've owned and currently own several manual vehicles and none have ever had this slop issue at all. Sadly, i found out the hard way about the slop in first (2024 WRX TR). 55 miles in, went out in early morning to leave for work, started the car and was fooled by the slop, thinking it was in neutral, let out on the clutch, BANG.. car jumped and died, heart about stopped in the moment. 😂 Yes, the slop is there, even with an OEM STI short-throw kit. This is sad really, took this incident to slap me upside the head... gotta get it fixed ASAP.
that's a nice before and after
Just scooped the last one in black, going to be the first thing that goes in thanks!
Nice! You'll be happy with it! Thank you for your business!
I loved the full BilletWorks short throw shifter kit I had in my 2020 WRX!
Just wish they made a kit for my 2021 STI now😫
Maybe we'll make that happen soon! 😉
getting into a new wrx after having a handful of Si's (b and k series), it's crazy how awful these shifters feel from factory. pretty disappointing, but thanks for showing how to fix it!
Great videos guys. When can we expect to see an oil catch can install video? These engine need it since they’re only direct injection.
Hopefully soon. Being a different engine we are going to have to wait until someone comes out with one for this platform.
Just purchased them, alongside the pitch stop.. hoping the slight bumpy first to second gear resolves itself, and rev matching feels a little easier when slightly off rpms
Going to be a solid upgrade for sure! Thank you
I ran into an issue when I installed one of these. So I initially installed just like you did. But for some reason when I'm shifting a bit more aggressively, say on a highway or for recreation, my lock out lifts over the shift stop when going to to first gear, which makes the stop pointless. I ended up moving the shift stop all the way to the right where it contacts the rod of the shifter. Now it works as advertised, sorta. Has anyone else had this problem??
Any plans to do a video on the 22 OEM mud flaps?
Find me some performance brake pads please!!! Wasn’t expecting the stock pads to not even last a day at the track. Thanks Subaru
send us an email: sales@importimageracing.com or send us a DM on instagram and we can get you set up with some!
This is why I got the car with the sti shifter lol
The STI Short shifter upgrade is an improvement, but the shifter actually still has the same slop in 1st-2nd because there's no shifter stop on that one either.
Question for you man, or I guess any WRX owner. This is my second manual, last was a 91 240sx that had an enormous amount of play and was worn out. I picked up a 22 WRX and before and even after I installed the shifter stop going into 1st at a stop light and then engaging into 2nd feels like it's going into gear twice, if that makes sense. I'll push the clutch in and move it into 1st, gets about halfway I feel it engaging then it pops into 1st. I go to do the same shifting into 2nd and yet again I get it from 1st through neutral then I fell a noticeable stop then I pull it into 2nd. It could just be me as I am not used to driving a brand-new manual, but it doesn't feel right going into 1st and 2nd. All the other gears feel fine just worried. Thanks for the help, cheers.
It does feel strange but every wrx I have driven has felt like that, not sure what creates that double engagement feeling but its there for sure!
@@ImportImageRacing Cool, that makes me feel better. Thanks for the help.
Yea same here! First WRX as well, and like you said, it feels like it disengages and re-engages with a slight drop in rpms. I think its more of giving it a little more gas then usual?
I got the Perrin Shifter Stop w/ OEM STI Short Shifter by mistake instead of the shifter stop w/ OEM Regular Shifter. Does it still fit my car or do I have to return it and get the other one? Cause they look pretty identical to me. Thanks!
I think the original long throw shifter is much more satisfying to drive than the short throw shifter.
We love a short throw, but definitely don't mind the long bois!
wouldnt this wear out edge of shifter?
I didn’t realize the coin tray was gonna come off with the shift cover and when I snapped it up I heard a coin go into the abyss, is there anything down there I should worry about or am I safe??
You should be fine, it most likely landed under the dash and slid under the carpet.
Sup mr Cody I appreciate your response to my prior comments. Man I’m about to pull the trigger on that sapphire blue premium 2022 WRX with moon roof and speakers package for around 38k out the door at 3-4% apr rate. For a guy who might have a family soon the WRX> brz ? ? What’s your opinion
4 doors for the family is a must, I'm hoping to hear back tomorrow about a pretty well optioned limited for 41,600+tax to replace my 2002 Wagon. GL with yours, they are selling quickly despite the comments on the back bumper.
The BRZ I'd a great car but if you have any intentions of starting a family just know the backseat in the brz are useless, even if you could fit an infant with a car seat back there you'll end up breaking you back trying to get them in and out of the car. The WRX will be a much more family friendly car and the WRX also has a higher safety rating.
Im surprised i dont see anyone suggest locktite on those bolts. After banging on the shifter and the vibrations your location is bound to move over time.
Not a bad idea… I feel most people don’t have an issue with it loosening up, but it sure doesn’t hurt! 🤘🏻
2023 model doesn’t do that for some reason.
Does the optional Subaru short throw shifter need this mod as well?
The OEM Subaru short shifter will need this as it upgrades the shifter but it still has the 1st-2nd gear slop as shown in the video.
the oem short throw completely removed any unwanted play in the stick.
Thank you for the insight.
What’s the difference between the Perrin 15-17, Perrin 18-21, and BilletWorkz 15-21 Shift stops? Why does the one Perrin one not work on newer models and the BW works on all?
Perrin original had a shorter one for 15-17 and the 18+ cars would pop over it so it wouldn't function correctly. Perrin made the 18+ a seperate version while other companies just adapted theirs and made it taller to fit all 15+ WRX
@@ImportImageRacing Thank you!
@@ImportImageRacing So would you recommend the 18+ stop for the 2022 WRX?
@@ImportImageRacing I am about to install the 18+ Perrin stop, but in the instructions and kit it comes with new washers to install. I notice you didn't replace them in the video. Seems pointless to replace them?
No need for the side washers? Is that a billet works thing or a '22 thing?
Billetworkz kit doesn't use washers.
Washers don't really make a difference, they are more of a gimmick than anything!
I have your red "lightbulb" WRX engraved shift knob. Very nice@@Billetworkz
I was informed by Perrin that I must install those washers. However, after nearly having a heart attack trying to put these on without losing parts down the void of despair, I honestly don't knwo what it changed. The washers are actually kinda pointless.
Short shifter next? Or did I miss that video?
Within the next few days we will be doing the shifter plate and the short shifter.
@@ImportImageRacing Great video, very informative.
Mine has the STI short throw shifter option installed, but looking at this video it appears there is no difference in the throws with your stock shifter. Is there a way to confirm the sti short throw shifter is installed apart from it being listed as an installed option on the window sticker? Makes me wonder if the sti short throw only makes little to no difference vs stock, or if the production plant in Gunma Japan missed to put in my sti short shifter option from my pre-order lol
@@armandwrx1696 If you remove your shift knob, there should be a dab of blue paint on the top of the rod if you have the STI shifter. The STI shifter for the WRX shortens throws about 10%. We do have a comparison video on our channel!
Does the shifter stop make the reverse lock go up
No it's on the opposite sideqnd has no effect on reverse lockout unless you move the factory reverse lockout stop on the right side of the Shifter.
because I bought a Amazon shifter stop and put it on every time I move to first gear the reverse lock out will go up and slam my finger so wanted to make sure this won’t happen with this one
will the nuts loosen later on?
Haven't so far, I got me a tight set of nuts for sure!
Do you need this if your Rex came with a Sti shirt throw already?
I’d do the full Billetworkz kit. It’s much better than sti short throw, sti is sorta half arse on the performance vs aftermarket.
@@ImportImageRacing so getting the bass bushing and the shifter stop would make it less sloppy?
The STi shifter is a 10-15% shorter throw due to an upgraded geometry. It does very little to eliminate side to side movement. The shift stop and brass bushing will increase the performance feel of both OEM and STi shifters.
@@BuckleUpGarage_ thanks for the reply
I installed a billetworkz stop in my new 2022 wrx, drove around the block and my car stalled at the light, does that have anything to do with the stop? I did realign it just in case, it did seem better tho, but it was 2 gear that was acting up
The shifter stop would have nothing to do with the car stalling unless you couldn't get it out of gear and stalled letting of the clutch while in gear still. If this is the case, adjusting it slightly more towards the driver would fix the issue. Hope this helps!
@@ImportImageRacing i did re adjust it, it’s back to normal 👍but man what a difference! Thanks for responding
As much as they charge for this car, you would think Subaru would just put in this piece themselves, 🙄 geez
Very true!
Getting mine today, wish me luck! Lol
My CVT isnt sloppy at all. ;)
🤮
Hella gay tho.
It’s not sloppy at all. I have a 2023. Aftermarket tuners are just trying to sell stuff to newbies who don’t know how to drive a manual in the first place. All of this crap is unnecessary.
Thank you for your comment
