The Cobb Reverse Lockout Pull Ring in White / Stealth Black is the standalone reverse lockout mechanism for the 2004-2021 Subaru STI 6MT.

Reverse Lockout Function: Lift-to-Unlock Mechanism
The reverse lockout addresses a real concern on short-throw STIs: with reduced throw distance between gates, the risk of overshooting into reverse during a hard downshift is non-trivial. The pull ring adds a physical barrier — the driver must consciously lift before the transmission accepts the reverse gate.
White / Stealth Black Color and Compatibility with Cobb Shift Knobs
The White / Stealth Black pull ring installs on the shift knob, threading into the base of compatible Cobb knobs. Included in all Cobb Stage 2+ Drivetrain Packages; this standalone listing is for Stage 1+ owners adding the lockout in their preferred color.
