DARKMATTERX DM-1 V2 Shifter 2008-2014 WRX

The DM-1 V2 shifter is expertly designed and the strongest option in the market for Subaru drivers. With a 50% shorter throw than OEM, it provides an unparalleled driving experience. Crafted with precision and top-quality materials, including billet aluminum and custom CNC machined U-joint with four ball bearings for a smooth shift. The patented design of the DM-1 V2 sets it apart from all other short shifter packages. Made in the USA by DARKMATTERX.

The included centering mechanism of the DM-1 V2 shifter is a finely crafted combination of billet aluminum components, twin detents, a torsion spring, and an ENDURO MAX radial bearing, resulting in precise movements. Compared to the OEM feel, the spring pressure has been increased, giving a firmer shift when moving the shifter out of center. Working in tandem with the centering mechanism inside the transmission, this feature greatly assists with shifting through the entire "H" pattern, ensuring a smooth and accurate transition between gears. Additionally, the DM-1 V2 comes standard with a shift stop, providing a mechanical feel when selecting 1st or 2nd gear by physically stopping the shifter on a low friction Delrin surface. Our chassis mounted design secures the foundation of the DM-1 V2 in a fixed position relative to the driver, preventing any change in position during extreme driving conditions. This also allows for efficient energy transfer, without the use of soft rubber.

Features:

• CHASSIS MOUNTED DESIGN This chassis mounted design secures the foundation of the DM-1 V2 in a fixed position relative to the driver. Both the driver and shifter are secured to the chassis of the vehicle which prevents a change in position under extreme driving conditions. Mounting the foundation to the chassis also provides the most efficient energy transfer both in and out of the DM-1 V2's pivot point rather than using a series of soft rubber bushings found on OEM & aftermarket designs.
• TOOL FREE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Adjusting the height of the DM-1 V2 does not require ANY tools or the dissasembly of your interior that other aftermarket shifters require. Simply rotate your billet aluminum leather boot collar for over an inch of shift knob height adjustment. This easy adjustment can provide both a change in throw and a change in the force required to shift.
• VARIABLE THROW SETTINGS: Pick from two different throw settings to tune the throw to your liking. Adjusting the throw between the two settings has no affect on the shifters height and only changes the throw of the shifts.
