Overtake Stage 1.5 Drivetrain Kit w/ ModKnob Delrin Short Black Shift Knob 2015-2026 WRX / 2018-2023 Crosstrek | Short Throw | Precision Shift Kit
Overview
The Overtake Stage 1.5 Drivetrain Kit is a comprehensive manual transmission upgrade designed specifically for the Subaru WRX (2015-2026) and Crosstrek (2018-2023). This kit addresses the common issue of vague and sloppy factory shifter feel by combining four key components that work together to deliver shorter throws, tighter engagement, and a more connected driving experience. It’s ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking to enhance shift precision without sacrificing drivability.
Engineered with a focus on performance and durability, the kit includes CNC-machined components and brass bushings that replace the factory’s soft rubber parts prone to wear and flex. The design philosophy centers on restoring mechanical feel and eliminating unwanted play in the shifter assembly, resulting in a more direct and confident gear change. Overtake’s approach ensures that each piece complements the others for a cohesive upgrade rather than isolated improvements.
For Subaru owners, this drivetrain kit transforms the shifting experience by reducing shift throw by approximately 30%, tightening lateral movement, and improving shift inertia. The weighted Delrin shift knob adds ergonomic comfort and smoothness, enhancing driver control. This combination not only improves everyday driving but also benefits spirited driving scenarios where precise gear engagement is critical.
