Good To Know
Q: Will this fit a standard Subaru STI without a 6-speed swap? A: No, this solid shifter linkage U-joint trunnion is made specifically for vehicles with a 6-speed swap, so it may not match the linkage geometry of a standard 5-speed setup. Confirm your transmission configuration before ordering.
Q: Does this trunnion come with the necessary mounting hardware? A: This listing includes the trunnion component itself; reuse your existing hardware or check if additional fasteners are needed based on your specific linkage setup.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
