OVERTAKE Stage 1 Drivetrain Kit – Subaru WRX 2015–2026
Fix the vague, sloppy factory shift feel in your Subaru with the OVERTAKE Stage 1 Drivetrain Kit. This complete 3-piece shifter kit combines our most popular Subaru manual transmission upgrades into one perfectly matched package, delivering shorter throws, tighter engagement, and a more connected driving experience.
Designed specifically for the Subaru WRX and Crosstrek, this kit addresses key sources of shifter slop in the factory system.
Why Upgrade Your Subaru Shifter?
Subaru’s factory shifter components prioritize comfort over precision. Over time, rubber bushings flex, shift throws get longer, and gear engagement becomes vague. The OVERTAKE Stage 1 Drivetrain Kit corrects these compromises at the source, restoring mechanical feel and performance-focused control.
What’s Included in the Kit
OVERTAKE Shifter Stop
The factory shifter allows excessive side-to-side movement, especially in 1st and 2nd gear. The OVERTAKE Shifter Stop removes unwanted lateral play for cleaner, more confident gear engagement and reduces missed shifts.
OVERTAKE Short Shift Transmission Plate
This precision CNC-machined short shift plate reduces shift throw by approximately 30% compared to stock. Increased mass and optimized geometry improve shift inertia, resulting in faster, smoother, and more deliberate gear changes without compromising drivability.
OVERTAKE Brass Shifter Bushing Kit
Factory rubber shifter bushings flex, wear out, and absorb feedback. Our brass shifter bushings replace those soft OEM components to dramatically tighten shift feel, improve accuracy, and deliver long-term durability.
Engineered by Enthusiasts. Built for Performance.
Every OVERTAKE product is designed, tested, and refined with the Subaru community in mind. This kit delivers one of the most noticeable driver-focused upgrades you can make to your manual transmission Subaru.

Replaced a competitors with this one, this one makes shifting from 1st to 2nd feel so much better and a one of a kind design makes it better.
Super high quality product!
Had a built VA using mostly a “competitor”s parts in 2015. Now back with a VB and couldn’t be happier to find Chase doing his thing with OVERTAKE. This shift stop fits perfectly, easily adjusts, and takes your OEM shifting to the next level. Don’t forget your OVERTAKE brass bushing!
Best upgrade for the price! Very easy to install with just an Allen key and 10mm deep socket. It took me maybe 7 minutes. Just do NOT over tighten this shift stop. It will break. Ask me how I know. Other than that, this is a great product that works perfectly. Grab 4 or 5 of them to gift as stocking stuffers for your suby family!
Quality versus junk. This will tighten up your shift and give you a cleaner shift. Get the shift top also and your shifting will be night and day difference. Oh and the short shift plate. Just do all three with the transmission crossmember bushings. World of difference.
VERY noticeable shift feel! Make this a first upgrade. You will notice a definite difference mealy.
A much better shifting experience, more notchy, makes driving the car even more enjoyable.
Great product to enhance the driving experience. I may need to make some adjustments, but it is better than not having the stopper there.
Easy to install, works awesome!!
High quality build. Installation was very straight forward. Shifts like a new car. Subaru should have done this from the factory.
(Art was right dont be left-handed)lol
Overtake does not disappoint. I installed the shifter bushing and it only took a few minutes. My old one wa dry rotted and falling apart. This it an awesome upgrade and shifts like butter. Thanks guys!!
I would highly recommend the overtake brass shifter bushing if you want to tighten up the shifts in your WRX or STI. The shifts feel so much more solid now.
Shifts feel way more crisp and link to instructions right on the package.
Quick and speedy delivery. Hefty part compared to stock, we easy to install. The only pain was the removal of the top bolt on the cover prior to installing it. Make sure you use a long 3/16 punch to remove the roll pin, it has an inner and outer part of the roll pin. There is a good install video on YouTube by Overtake, view it before doing the upgrade
The combo is absolutely perfect. Especially for the price. It really does fix the slop and throws in the WRX. I’m really pleased with the package.
Paired with the entire kit, this tiny change makes a nice difference in the overall feel of rowing through the gears. It definitely makes your shifts feel more crisp.
SLOP BE GONE! Literally installed this 2 days after getting my 26 VB. It’s one of those products where “a little goes a long way”. Install is super easy. Had it done in literally 10 minutes.
Build quality is awesome for starters. The shifts are reduced in the best of ways. I’ve had other short shift kits in previous cars that always ended up being too short for my taste. This one definitely kills the row boat feel in VB. It’s the perfect throw in my opinion.
I like the inclusion of the blue washer. A nice finishing touch.
This was super easy to do while I was doing the trans crossmember bushings and it definitely helped to smooth everything out with my shifter
This thing works great! It has definitely made a big difference in my shifting!
Recently purchased this for my '26 WRX. Feels like a different car in 1st/2nd. HIGHLY recommend.
Very easy to install and really tightened up the play in the shifter.
Simple thing to add really. Knowing that the OEM bushing will make the shifter dance eventually, this change made the shifting feeling better. Knowing its going to last means one less thing to worry about.
