Fitment:
Subaru STi 2004-2021
This is the Kartboy short shifter and bushing combo for the Subaru STI. This kit completely replaces your factory shifter mechanism, and will also restore any excessive shifter movement due to tired or worn out shifter bushings.
Included is the short throw shifter kit which will decrease the shift throw by 40%, and also included are the rest of the shifter bushings needed to complete the job. This installation can be performed with proper lifting of the vehicle, and typical hand tools. Save a little money by ordering as a kit rather than ordering the parts individually.
Included:
1 x KB-003-Rear // Kartboy Subaru Rear Shifter Stay Bushing
1 x KB-003-STI // Kartboy Subaru Shifter Bushing STi
1 x KB-20-STi // Kartboy Subaru 6 Spd Shifter
Helps with shifts
Highly recommend. Shifting feels amazing now and the throws are a decent bit shorter. Paired with the group n trans mount and whiteline positive shift kit its perfect.
I love the feeling and throw of this STS but I will say the bushings were a bitch to install. Once in they’re great too. Lots of cabin noise but nothing a bit of music can’t cover.
Insane how short this is now
The oem bushings are soft and very forgiving. The Kartboy bushings are solid and well made. Everything fit perfectly. I think the most difficult part of the install is banging out the pin for the lockout cable. The rear bushing took some effort but grease is your friend. I did not remove my o2 sensor, I unplugged it and pulled the heat shield over the sensor. The shifter itself has minimal play but is not overly rigid or notchy. No rattling at all, use the zip ties…This is a great upgrade especially at the price point. And as usual IRR is always on point with order/delivery.
My favorite mod to date. Every gear practically clicks into place. So much fun! A little work to install, but nothing some simple tools can’t accomplish. Highly recommend.
Added this to the Sti transmission I swapped into my vb wrx. Very tight clean shifts.
What I really i like about IIR that if the product is in stock its in stock!! not like other companies who tell you the item is stock whereas its not.
Regarding the Kartboy short shifter this is my second set for another subaru, simply the best short shifter for subaru.
Very fast processing and shipping.
Great product simple install worth the price
