Shift Lock change
The shift lock is a button that can be depressed when needed to shift the transmission into neutral when needed when the car is not running. In the later years, there is not a button, but it has a plate that can be taken off and a Phillips head screw is used to do the same thing.
My question. Can a button be installed where the plate is so it is like the 92 and 93 MYs? It is a pain to use the plate and screw instead of pushing the button.

I didn't realize the newer cars were still able to perform the function. I'd def be interested if it was possible to do this swap.

I know for sure you can use the whole 92-93 shifter and then you'd have the "Shift lock" button.
I haven't looked at it close enough to see if you can just swap the button parts, but probably could...

Awhile back I looked over the drawings from the two different versions on SubaruParts.com.
It appeared to me that you could transplant a button and related parts (spring, etc.) from an earlier model into a later model. It looked like most of the mechanism just below the button stayed the same. But the drawings were too low-res for me to tell for certain. With so many people doing 5MT swaps, there should be plenty of donor shift console guts out there to play with

Earl, you should have grabbed one of those extra shifters that were floating around at Reading...
Somehow about 5 of them ended up in the van If you need one let me know...

Earl. The simple answer you're looking for is yes. Take out the plug, transfer the button, spring, and mounting braket (little strip of metal) and two screws and your set.

If I had more room in my bag, I would have. If you have two of them, put them in a box and I will pay for the shipping. I will try to do a How-To if it works out ok. Watch, I will probably get all 5!
