Price History
PERRIN part PSP-INR-016 replaces the compliant factory bushing at the manual-transmission shifter linkage with a solid brass piece. Removing that deflection can make gear selection feel more direct and reduce side-to-side play, while also allowing more mechanical vibration or sound to reach the lever. PERRIN lists the part for 2015-2026 WRX applications with the six-speed manual shifter. It is not a GT/SPT part: those cars use a different electronic selector and do not have this mechanical linkage bushing. Installation requires access to the shifter cable connection and careful retention of the factory clip and surrounding hardware. This bushing does not shorten the lever throw by itself and should not be confused with a short-shifter assembly or transmission mount.

Yes, and they are the best value per dollar on the car. A bushing alone at around $25 to $40 fixes most of the vagueness, and the full set stays under $150.
It is normal and mostly technique. Shift out of first higher, around 3,000 to 3,500 rpm, and let the car warm up. Then fix the linkage vagueness with bushings if you want it crisper.
PSP-INR-016 fits the mechanical shifter linkage on WRX 6MT models. It is not compatible with the GT/SPT electronic selector despite the previous catalog title.
