Paired with the bushing kit that eliminates lateral slop in the linkage, the result is a shifter that feels like it belongs in a performance car. Cobb engineered every component to work as a system, not a collection of parts sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBolt In, Feel the Difference Immediately\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward — the Cobb Stage 1 Drivetrain Package drops directly into the factory shifter location on the Outback XT without modification. No cutting, no custom fabrication, no special tools beyond what a home mechanic already has. The shift knob threads onto the shifter shaft and the bushing kit clips into the existing linkage points. From box to first drive is a couple of hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobb Stage 1 Drivetrain Package — complete shifter overhaul in one box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobb Short Shifter — shorter throw, direct-fit replacement for factory unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifter bushing kit — eliminates lateral slop and vague feel in the linkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll hardware and installation hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo permanent modification to the vehicle required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatform: Subaru Outback XT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for the MT manual transmission on the Subaru Outback XT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-in — no drilling, cutting, or fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in multiple knob colors and styles — see other listings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight From Subispeed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you drive a manual Outback XT 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 1 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobb Short Shifter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifter bushing kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShift knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Cobb Tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCobb Tuning has been developing performance parts and tuning solutions for Subaru vehicles since 1999. Based in Austin, Texas, Cobb built their reputation on the Accessport — the most widely used Subaru ECU tuning device on the market — and expanded that into a full ecosystem of intake, exhaust, drivetrain, and engine bay accessories engineered specifically for the platforms they support. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 78.3752px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 30.9408%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 20.7763%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 24.6207%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 18.6263%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.9408%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2023-202\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 20.7763%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSubaru\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6207%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eAscent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.6263%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30.9408%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2023-2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 20.7763%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSubaru\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.6207%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eOutback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.6263%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eXT \u0026amp; WIlderness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"COBB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45711292956758,"sku":"COBBSUB0070010","price":247.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/0411\/1190\/files\/14xlpspg1clt_24346c00-bf10-48c2-877e-2aa8051e062b.jpg?v=1788773898","url":"https:\/\/truegearus.com\/products\/cobb-stage-1-power-package-2023-2025-subaru-ascent-outback-xt-wilderness-0s856i","provider":"TrueGear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
