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.
