Any info on the short shifter that Subaru offers? (who makes it, is it worth to get etc...

Thanks,
Vince

STi makes it, and no it's not worth it.

just take a visit to www.kartboy.com and get one of thiers.

I am all for the Kartboy short shifter.



I love mine ;)

I ordered it with my car before I knew about this board. It is overpriced and doesn't do much. Short-throw - HA! Might be like 1/16 of an inch shorter:lol: It is definitely crisper feeling (notchier), which is nice...

If you look at the powertrain page on the kartboys site what is that at the very bottom that is in the gauge housing on the top of the console? And how much :) im tired of watching the NESW changing around as i drive.

That's a Super-AFC

Kartboy Short Shifter, where for once - it's a good thing to be at the short end of the stick :D

The STi shifter works well in Foresters, though.

That's because it's about the same length as stock for the WRX and RS, but about an inch shorter than the Forester's.

A Kartboy is way too short for a Forester - about 2" shorter than stock. You can barely reach it!

I too orderd my car with the STI shifter. I drove the car for 2 weeks before they were in-stock. After having it installed, I felt a big difference, and I liked the fact that the shifter arm wasn't shorter, but the throws were. After installing a MOMO ball style knob on it, it shortened the hieght only about an inch or less. I say it's damn near perfect. Any shorter throws or shorter shifter arm would be an inconvenience as a daily driver.

I drove mine for about a month before the shifter was installed. It made a big difference. Shifts are much cleaner.
