Cobb Stage 2 Drivetrain Package — Black Lockout — 2004-2021 Subaru STI 6MT
The Cobb Stage 2 Drivetrain Package for the 2004-2021 Subaru STI 6-speed manual with Stealth Black reverse lockout pull ring.

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.
Stealth Black Lockout for Clean, Understated Interior Builds
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

Founded in Austin, Texas, Cobb built its reputation on the Accessport and expanded into a full catalog of hardware engineered to complement it.

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 Stealth Black lockout is for STI owners who want the reverse lockout protection without a color-contrasting element in the center console. The black lockout blends with the black interior trim of most STI interiors — present and functional, but not visually prominent. It is the correct choice for a clean, all-black interior scheme or any build where the priority is function over visual statement.
