Stage 2: Reverse Lockout Adds to Stage 1 Foundation

The Stage 1+ Drivetrain Package for the Subaru STI 6-speed manual transmission combines three components that address the three main sources of imprecision in the factory shifting feel. The Cobb short throw shifter replaces the factory shift lever with a double-adjustable unit that provides a 15% or 35% reduction in throw length — the shift gates are shorter and gear selection requires less arm movement. The front and rear shifter bushings replace the factory rubber bushings with tighter-tolerance units that eliminate the slop and vagueness in the shifter’s lateral motion. The shift plate installs at the base of the shifter and provides the adjustable geometry that works together with the bushings to produce a shift action that is both shorter and more precise.

Red Lockout and STI Interior Color Coordination

The Stage 2+ Drivetrain Package adds a Reverse Lockout Pull Ring to the Stage 1+ components. The reverse lockout is a lift-to-unlock mechanism that must be engaged before the transmission will accept reverse gear selection, preventing accidental reverse engagement during aggressive forward-gear shifting. The Cobb reverse lockout pull ring comes in a range of colors to complement the shift knob, and the specific color in this listing is identified in the title and Details section. Every Cobb Drivetrain Package is defined by the specific color combination of its shift knob and, on Stage 2+ packages, its reverse lockout pull ring. The knob and lockout colors are the distinguishing factor between variants of the same package — all other components (short throw shifter, bushings) are identical across color variants. The specific combination in this listing is called out clearly in the product title and the Details section. Select the combination that matches the interior color scheme of the build.

Why Choose Cobb Tuning

Cobb Tuning has been developing performance software and hardware for turbocharged enthusiast vehicles since 1999. Founded in Austin, Texas, Cobb built its reputation on the Accessport and expanded into a full catalog of hardware engineered to complement it. Every OTS map is developed in-house on real vehicles, and every hardware product is validated as part of a complete system — not sourced and sold in isolation. That integrated approach is why Cobb produces consistent, reliable results across the builds we see every day.

The RallySport Take

The Stage 2 package with Red lockout is the natural match for STI builds that use red interior accents — a common color in Subaru’s own STI trim palette. The solid Red lockout pull ring is visible and tactile, providing the correct visual cue for the lift-to-unlock mechanism while complementing a red-accented interior. It is one of the most frequently chosen lockout colors for STI drivetrain packages.
