Overtake Stage 1.5 Drivetrain Kit w/ Weighted Tear Drop Shift Knob 2015-2026 WRX / 2018-2023 Crosstrek | Short Throw | Manual Transmission Upgrade

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 four-piece kit addresses the common issue of vague and sloppy factory shifter feel by combining precision-engineered components that reduce shift throw, tighten engagement, and enhance overall driver connection. Ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking a more direct and confident shifting experience, this kit transforms the stock drivetrain feel into a performance-focused setup without sacrificing daily drivability.

Overtake’s design philosophy centers on correcting the compromises made in factory Subaru shifters, which prioritize comfort and noise isolation over mechanical precision. By replacing soft rubber bushings with durable brass, limiting excessive lateral play, and shortening the shift throw with a CNC-machined plate, this kit restores the tactile feedback and responsiveness that Subaru manual transmissions are capable of. The weighted tear drop shift knob adds ergonomic balance and smooth shifting feel, completing the upgrade.

For Subaru owners, this drivetrain kit delivers tangible improvements in shift accuracy and engagement, reducing missed shifts and enhancing driver confidence on both street and track. The result is a more connected driving experience that complements the WRX and Crosstrek’s sporty character, making every gear change feel purposeful and precise.
