Features:

• Chassis Mounted:
  A robust, chassis-mounted design not only fixes the shifter in place to ensure stability under extreme conditions but even uses existing mounting points which require zero modifications during install.

• Centering Mechanism:
  The billet aluminum centering mechanism features twin detents and a firm ceramic coated torsion spring ensuring perfect gear engagement, banishing missed shifts forever.

• Tool-Free Shift Height:
  Adjust shift knob height over an inch from its lowest point (lowest point equivalent to OEM height) by twisting the leather boot collar—no tools, no disassembly—tailoring the throw and shift knob height to your street or track style.

• Cable-Free Reverse Lockout:
  A fully integrated reverse lockout design combines the 5th & 6th gear shift stop with the reverse lockout. With increased rigidity for the shift stop, you'll get the most precise feedback when selecting these gears. Additionally,The entire reverse lockout system has been consolidated into the housing of the shifter, eliminating the OEM reverse lockout cable.

• 1st/2nd Gear Shift Stop:
  The DM-1's 1st and 2nd gear shift stop has unmatched rigidity for an extremely firm feel.

• Easy Installation:
  The DM-1 bolts straight into the vehicle with no modifications needed and no specialty tools required.

• Hand Assembled:
  Every shifter is hand assembled and tested at DARKMATTERX ensuring the strictest quality control on our shifters.

• OEM Shift Knob Compatible:
  Factory shift knob thread specs on the DM-1 allow for any shift knob which is compatible with a Subaru to be used.

• Precision Shift Arm: The DM-1 Precision Shift Arm replaces the entire OEM shift arm and provides the most precise shifting possible when paired with the DM-1 V2 Shifter. A welded, precision needle bearing u-joint eliminates all left-and-right play and requires no assembly, offering smooth, slop-free engagement that other designs can't match—plus, a rubber boot protects it from the elements. A billet mechanical joint made from CNC-machined aluminum and steel components enhances left-to-right shift movement with a smoother, more “gated” feel. Finally, the arm is protected for life with both Cerakoted and anodized finishes to last a lifetime.
