lol, the “shorter stick” part youre referring to doesnt actually make the shift shorter, thats really just for looks. its the distance between the base and the rod connected to the tranny that makes the difference. that distance is longer than the stock stick, changing the angle of the rod, creating shorter throw.
so basiclly this just a shorter stick?
why do u just cut OEM one shorter and make s.o threads
SPT does make a short shifter for the car, but its not stock. you can add it on when you buy the car i believe or just outright buy it later like you would the Kartboy. compared to stock, the Kartboy is wayyy shorter, i believe 50-60% and not, sound is the same with the bushings. id def. recommend the bushings too, makes way more difference than the actual stick.
Hey man, thanks for yous vids they’re awesome! I thought that the STi comes with a factory short shifter. Does the Kart Boy Shifter provide any noticeable difference, and does it sound different with the kart boy bushings?
Just got done installing the short shift, had no problems! YOU THE MAN! Thanks!
Good video! Can u do that to my car 🙂 good job.
haha, thats in the video. the allen wrench part is under the car
I was reading that some people had to go underneath the car to do something with the reverse lockout cable. How come you didn’t have to?
Wrx is way easier than Sti because we don’t have the reverse lockout part.
we finally did the bushings :P. check my page for the video!
i change the oil filter with every oil change.
hey man, thanks for all the videos uploaded, very helpful man, btw, i have a question, how often do i have to change the oil filter? thanks alot man
its pretty much the same thing besides the reverse lockout part and no getting under the car for you. and of course the console is different.
think it would be similar with a 2004 wrx?
definitely. from what ive read, the bushings make a bigger difference than the actual stick. one day when my friend isnt lazy, well put those in and make a video on that lol
Would you recommend kartboy shifter bushings too.. your videos are awesome man.
shorter shifts, literally, more solid and crisp feel
Hey, I hate to sound like an idiot but what is the purpose of a short shifter?
thanks man. appreciated.
yeah its still notchy, even when the car is warmed up. i think the STi trans in general is just notchy
hey man, just want to show my appreciation for the vids, incredibly useful since i have an 05 wrx. keep it up man you’re awesome
Nice work. Any notchy-ness from the shifter when the car is cold ?
