04-21 Subaru STI COBB Tuning Stage 2 Drivetrain Package w/ Black Lockout
The Shifter Your Subaru Should Have Had From the Factory
Subaru builds excellent manual transmissions — and then puts a stock shifter in front of them that tells a completely different story. Long throws, flexible bushings, and a knob that feels like an afterthought. The Cobb Stage 2 Drivetrain Package for the Subaru fixes all of that in one purchase. Select your preferred knob color/style from the dropdown.
Stage 1+ Means Every Tactile Piece, Done Right
The Stage 2 Drivetrain Package adds the Cobb weighted shift knob to the Stage 1 foundation — a heavier knob that changes the feel of every shift by adding momentum to the throw. A heavier knob resists being rushed, which naturally makes the driver more deliberate through the gate. Combined with the Cobb Short Shifter and bushing kit, the entire shifter assembly is transformed: shorter throw, less slop, better weighting. The Subaru's manual transmission has always been capable — this package makes it feel like it.
Complete the Interior, Complete the Build
The Stage 2 package is a complete interior drivetrain overhaul in one box. Everything that connects your hand to the transmission on the Subaru is replaced with Cobb hardware: the shifter, the knob, the bushings, and the shifter plate. Installation requires no modification to the vehicle — every component is a direct bolt-in replacement at the factory location.

Straight From Subispeed
If you drive a manual Subaru and haven't done anything to the shifter yet, this package is the highest-impact upgrade you can make for under a few hundred dollars. The difference between the factory shifter and the Cobb setup is immediately noticeable — not subtle, not placebo. Every gear change feels intentional rather than approximate. The Stage 2 package is a complete solution rather than a collection of individually-sourced parts, which means everything is designed to work together from the start. This is one of those upgrades that makes you wonder why it wasn't standard equipment.
What's Included
- Cobb Short Shifter
- Weighted shift knob
- Shifter bushing kit
- Shifter plate
About Cobb Tuning
Cobb Tuning has been developing performance parts and tuning solutions for Subaru vehicles since 1999.

Every Cobb product is developed in-house and validated on their own test vehicles before it reaches customers. Subispeed carries the full Cobb catalog because their engineering standards and platform-specific development process consistently produce parts that work exactly as advertised.
