Upgraded bushings for subaru short shifter?

UndertoW101 · 11-19-2005, 08:09 AM

Quick question about shifter bushings for the Subaru short shifter. Just wondering if they make replacement bushings for the official Subaru shot shifter, no no…I am not foolish enough to go out of my way and spend the big $$ on an oem one. I got the dealer to throw one in for free with my 06 wrx I just got. So before I get them to install it I wanted to get some of the upgraded bushings to go along with it.

Thanks for the helP

i think you'd want the Kartboy bushings,
(check out www.kartboy.com ) or search this site for "kartboy bushings" you will find a lot of info.
:-)
there is a front set and a rear set.

a company called Turn In Concepts also known as TIC makes a third set, and also sells the KB stuff. their site is http://www.turninconcepts.com/

check out the options.

Great….that is just what I was looking for. Now just one last question. Should I go with the kartboy set KB-003-5COMB - FRONT/REAR COMBO 5-SPEED ($ 60.00) From there official site or is there a more affordable place to get them

I think that's about the cheapest out there. Good luck, this will improve shifting feel dramatically, from what I hear. (planning on getting the kit as well)
