DARKMATTERX DM-2 V2 Shifter - 2015-2021 WRX, 2022-2026 WRX

The world’s finest shifting experience has arrived for your WRX! Born from a lifelong obsession to redefine performance, the DM-2 Shifter features the ultimate evolution with our patented shifting technology for 2015-2026 Subaru WRX. Handcrafted in the USA by DARKMATTERX, this linkage-based masterpiece replaces the entire OEM shifting assembly, converting your cable shifter to linkage. The DM-2 delivers razor-sharp mechanical shifts that forge an unbreakable bond between you and your Subaru.

Key Features:

• Linkage System: Steel linkage with 3-piece rod ends eliminates cable slop, delivering lightning-fast mechanical shifts. Even under aggressive cornering or hard acceleration you will be confident with the stress-free shifting of the linkage system.
• Centering Mechanism: The billet aluminum centering mechanism features twin detents and a firm ceramic coated torsion spring ensuring perfect gear engagement, banishing missed shifts forever.
• Tool-Free Shift Height: Adjust shift knob height over an inch from its lowest point (lowest point equivalent to OEM height) by twisting the leather boot collar—no tools, no disassembly—tailoring the throw and shift knob height to your street or track style.
• Cable-Free Reverse Lockout: A fully integrated reverse lockout design combines the 5th & 6th gear shift stop with the reverse lockout. With increased rigidity for the shift stop, you'll get the most precise feedback when selecting these gears.
• 1st/2nd gear shift stop: The DM-2's 1st and 2nd gear shift stop has unmatched rigidity for an extremely firm feel.
• Easy Installation: The DM-2 bolts straight into the vehicle with no modifications needed and no specialty tools required.
• Hand Assembled: Every shifter is hand assembled and tested at DARKMATTERX ensuring the strictest quality control on our shifters.
• OEM Shift Knob Compatible: Factory shift knob thread specs on the DM-2 allow for any shift knob which is compatible with a Subaru to be used.

DM-2 V2 release notes:

• Reverse Lockout: The entire reverse lockout system has been consolidated into the housing of the shifter, eliminating the reverse lockout cable and creating a smaller form for the DM-2.
• Non-adjustable 5th/6th/reverse Shift Stop: No adjustment necessary for the shift stop on the passenger side of the shift pattern. Shift stop is integrated onto the u-joint, saving space, install time, and also is a more robust system with increased feedback when engaging the stop.
• 1st/2nd Shift Stop: Shift stop is easier to adjust and integrated onto the housing of the shifter saving additional space and time during install. Rigidity is also increased to give an even firmer feel when engaging the stop.
• Centering Mechanism: Ceramic coating has been added to the torsion spring and hardware, along with an updated OEM cable connection that eliminates a step in the install process by self-securing the OEM cable when it is installed.
• Compatibility with the DARKMATTERX Billet Shift Trim Kit Subaru WRX (2015-2021): A revision has been made on the DM-2 linkage which now allows compatibility for the Billet Shift Trim Kit to be used in conjunction with the DM-2 V2 Shifter.
