Congrats you have now shortened the throw of the factory unit by 40% and lost about an inch of height. Giving the shifts a much more satisfying fee! If you did the front and rear stay bushing you will feel like you are driving a completely different car, as the shift feel is now amazing. If not you can look forward to that install soon and an even greater appreciation for your 5 speed Subaru!
