Overtake Short Shift Transmission Plate Fits 15-26 Subaru WRX / 18-23 Crosstrek | 30% Shorter Throws | Transmission Upgrade

Overview

The Overtake Short Shift Transmission Plate is a precision-engineered upgrade designed to enhance the manual shifting experience on Subaru WRX and Crosstrek models from 2015 to 2024. By reducing the shift throw length by 30%, this plate delivers quicker, more precise gear changes without sacrificing smoothness or drivability. It’s ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking a more connected and confident feel behind the wheel, whether on spirited street drives or track days.

Crafted in Minnesota with a focus on durability and performance, the Overtake Short Shift Plate is CNC machined from 1018 low-carbon steel and finished with a clear zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Unlike lightweight aftermarket alternatives, this plate weighs nearly twice as much as the factory unit, increasing shifter inertia to promote smoother, more deliberate shifts. The design balances aggressive shift feel with long-term reliability, reflecting Overtake’s commitment to quality and functional performance.

For Subaru owners, this transmission plate upgrade transforms the shifting experience by shortening the shift radius while maintaining the familiar factory fitment and feel. The included OEM roll pin ensures a perfect fit, making it a direct replacement that integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing transmission components. This combination of precision engineering and thoughtful design makes the Overtake Short Shift Plate a practical and rewarding upgrade for WRX and Crosstrek drivers looking to sharpen their manual transmission’s responsiveness.
