Subaru Impreza GDB WRX STI Squential Shifter

[mbdulka]

This is stock transmission, this system just replaces the H-pattern of shifting, so you can shift faster and not make errors (ie... miss a gear). It's hard on the syncros, but cool.

[nicbarrow]

this is a normal manual gearbox - it just looks as though it is sequential - he is using the clutch on upshifts and not flatshifting which proves it.

[MTD369]

@nicbarrow then you dont understand the difference between a manumatic (tiptronic, smg style, paddle shifters) and a sequential gearbox. This still needs a clutch but is sequential. As in you cant skip a gear.

[mortensenk]

everybody is complaining about it, but, this is how rally cars are set up..... and this car is based on a race car so whats the big deal?! :-)

[vinnie01]

this isnt a pukka sequential tranny see description pukka straight cut dog engagement sequential boxes are da bomb

[SprntrlDeathNinja]

keep it 6 speed, and please no flappy paddle bullshit

[hockeydude2]

wish it was in english :(

haha

[zeekdavis21]

sequential is so gay keep 6 speed or go paddle shifters

[2jzgtejza80]

@zeekdavis21

What part do you dont understand?? 6 speed is. just not H pattern it's pattern up / down. Paddle shifters are GAY, for non experienced drivers who doesn't know use clutch.

[Dfrogman]

@2jzgtejza80 I guess you could say that about the newer crowd. But if your someone who is all about speed,Then perhaps in the past before dual-clutch boxes, you would use the traditional manual transmission, but now that dual-clutches are faster, then you'd switch. Does not necessarily mean you are an inexperienced driver

[2jzgtejza80]

@Dfrogman

Well dual-clutch is OK when you racing for money, but for track days or any other non-profit racing is useless. Classic manual trans. or sequential manual trans. are better, because, you learn how to shift proper and how to control car. With automatic trans. you can't control car. Experienced drivers usually votes for manual shifter. Semi-autos like DGS, PDK, SMG are OK, but classic old automatics are catastrophic.

[Dfrogman]

@2jzgtejza80 Yes I totally agree with you there!

[fasty100]

Where can I buy this system for a Subaru Impreza GC8 (GT Turbo) from 2000 ???

[BBSroll]

i rather get the paddle shifters or keep the stock 6 speed

[babu111ca]

it still has clutch

[whitebrad25]

its basically triptronic eh?

[jgkov49]

@whitebrad25 triptronic on steroids

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

why are all you dumbasses saying this is gay and he's a pussy? do you even know what he's doing? no. you don't. now go fuck yourselves, kids.

[klstrucker930419]

Do you use the clutch?

[kibritiahmer]

@klstrucker930419 yes he is

[billhank]

and only 4 cylinder, only 2.5 liter motor that smaller than a cup of milk and that fast. no other car can compare to that

[fmyboki892]

pussyyyyyyy

[Trondheim18]

Can you reverse the thing, so goin up the gears is forward and down back?

[ICEMAN8998]

Gayyyyyyy

[slantz9]

that wanker needs to learn how to drive....god help that gearbox

[DiEGO2DaBAY]

BALLER.......

[Winobie75]

Cool novelty.

[azaboy2]

very fast gear change.. :D

[LiLTMac123]

the shifting does look like its a bit quicker

[OBCblackhawk]

I can see this preventing miss-shifts and it is a tad quicker when you can just smash through the gears without "feeling" the gates.

[dsmpure]

How is this achieved?

[chrismodiano]

go suck a dick with your shit website

[JAPANPOWERBUILDERS]

Sorry to hear you didnt like it Chris.

Unfortunately we dont make it for tossers like you.. only people who can afford The best of vehicles & parts. our focus is Japanese cars/parts. not websites..

[chrismodiano]

I just thought you were spamming, that's all.

[modsbeck]

nop... dont like it...

[hammondsplains]

not an sti its a wrx note the momo racing wheel

[hiimdreh]

actually it is a Sti. note the cluster and that is the JDM Steering Wheel.

[p2cruiser]

your an idiot pre 2003 they had momo wheels in them i know i have a 02 sti fuckn idiots that dont know shit and just want to sound like you know alot which you dont....fuckhead

[hammondsplains]

hey fuck you ill come kick ur fuckin ass

[p2cruiser]

ok u fly to adelaide and i dare you to

[jonida99]

is this gear box in all sti or u have to upgrade that?

[rileys03rex]

do u need the clutch for this setup?

[thierryvanleuven]

wow the response is really good.

[EnzoFirrari2k6]

He is using up the syncros! I can hear it. He needs to stop downshifting, letting the revs drop, and then dropping the clutch slowly. It's called rev matching and it will extend the life of your transmission.

[CrawfordPhotography]

Or doing heel and toe but yeah I agree!

[Pinggong272]

Do you have to rev match on all manuals?

[EnzoFirrari2k6]

You never HAVE to rev match it's just better for the transmission. Also, no, you don't have to rev match with all transmissions, but the only common transmission you don't need to rev match is a dogbox. But on that you don't even clutch-they aren't really made for street cars. Most people put them on low lever rally cars and race cars. high level racing usually use sequential gearboxes.

[Pinggong272]

Oh ok makes sense rev matching just avoids long term tranny problems, thanks alot. I want to buy an STi in a month or 2 so this was really useful info! :)

[EnzoFirrari2k6]

fasho. Yeah STI's are nice. I have a WRX and I will say you wont be disappointed. My only complaint on the 04+ WRX and STI is the drive-by-wire throttle body. It's an electronic servo that turns the butterfly valve based on foot pedal position instead of a mechanical direct cable linkage from the throttle body to the gas pedal. There's a SLIGHT delay but it's what most cars have so I guess it's not so bad.

[EnzoFirrari2k6]

Oh btw mines an 02 wrx so it has the drive-by-cable(IMO better).

[DjMK87]

i cant see the point in having that if ya still need 2 use the clutch.

[potoker9]

maybe you should try one, than youll see the point.

[DjMK87]

may b so but i thought the idea of a sequential shifter was 2 change gears faster. how can u change gears faster if ya still using a clutch. wot this is is a shifter for people who can never find the right gear. this is just my opinion n e ways. i think its pointless

[potoker9]

haha than you obviously dont understand the purpose. Do you think the WRC and drifting industry ,a multi BILLION dollar industry if imight remind you, would put them in there cars, if they were pointless? how is it not easier to just press the clutch and not having the worry about a miss shift.

[DjMK87]

if u might remind me? ya never told me 2 start off with so how can u remind me? WRC cars use semi-automatic clutchs. they have a clutch but only use it 2 pull away from the start, the rest of the time while driving, they dont need it. look it up. something to do while ya smokin ya joint :)

[potoker9]

hahaha your an idiot buddy, they dont use there clutch to pull away from the start hahahah they have launch control on those cars, they only use there clutch when they need to make handbreak turns, they used this syncro technology back in 2002, they use a paddle setup now, get your shit fuckwad hahaha

[DjMK87]

ya shootin yaself in the foot aint ya? so they dont use a clutch then. so y r we havin this debate on this video if this car aint got the same set-up? and y u callin me an idiot for? whats with ya attitude? casual smoke is fine but if it makes u like how u r, go get help. jesus

[riflebore]

This is technically correct. Good reply.

[EnzoFirrari2k6]

That is incorrect. Launch control does not get rid of the clutch. Launch control just holds revs at certain rpm while you release the clutch as to not burn the clutch or bog down. The clutch is used during launches in WRC. Other than that they have dogbox transmissions that can handle non-clutch shifting. A sequential gear box does help so they dont have to focus on the gear and can focus on the turn coming up at 100mph.

[dozedrift]

wow really bad driver lol, he should buy a auto

[stvna8040]

maybe you should teach him...

[dozedrift]

No lol, if I was going to teach anyone how to drive it wont be a retard like this, I dont even know what this guys thinking, who shifts like that haha :S

[logwind]

That digital gear display is HUGE. Looks a little weird.

[redmed427]

Isnt the tranny gonna get overheated from shifting like a maniac like that? :/

[trikte]

lol

[xp3rth4x0r]

LOLOL TRUE THAT

[Racr4Lyfe]

When you buy the shifter, did it come with the display showing what gear your in? Or was that bought seperately?

[IXGQ4LifeXI]

u can get straightcut (doggear) then with this u can incorprate fuel and ignition cut with gear shift so u dont need clutch to shift

[abcdef039]

u should do something with that clutch so u can shift faster

[RicerX06]

That's not the point of this SS, it's just so you don't miss a gear and over-rev or cause damage to your transmission.

[s15wolf]

i impressed.thanks for valuable in-car video.

[marhay]

haha this guys playing initial d :D

[tomkoolman]

damn sux!!
