The Mendeola and Subaru Trans shift couplers are just a band aid job.
If you look how it mounts with that plate, when you rotate the shift rod through the left / right plain the shift rod rotates over the subaru shift rod and is hardly presise.

I am supporting the end of the rod, then running two small universals with a diagonal shaft to bring them together.

In a suby trans install, the shift rod on the trans is about 2 inches off centre.
