UPDATE
We were supposed to get some test stoppers today but the injection molding company had to run some other jobs that were taking a little longer. They are now hoping to shoot some parts monday morning. Were really close!!! Tom |

It would have been lower if i didnt change my UN.
Anyhow. the stopper samples are due in today. Anyone who wants to be a tester. send me an email with your shipping address and what shifter mods you have on the car right now. I'll pick a bunch at random. [email protected] tom |

Has anyone received their "thingamajig" samples from Tom? Care to comment how the product has tested out so far?

Got it yesterday, installed this morning in about 10 minutes. Long story short, it does what it's supposed to do, eliminating the slop. Shifts feel much cleaner and precise. Makes me wonder why our cars don't come this way stock when there's such a simple fix... either way, I fully recommend it whenever the final version comes out!

Received my sample Saturday (I am on the east coast) and installed it today. With the piece in hand you can tell it is a quality part, well designed. It is surprisingly sturdy feeling in hand. Install took 13 minutes, my first time doing it (~1/4 though the redhot candy). Very easy install. I followed the directions for Perrins shifter stop. Of note, other shift mods that I have: derlin shifter bushing, kartboy short shifter. After testing it out, it definitely made the 1-2, 2-1, and 3-2 shifts greatly improved. 2-3 was moderately improved. Shift having to do with 5 and 6 gears are also better, but that I feel is due to adjustment of the stock shift stock. I love how it feels very similar to the stock shift stop, which I think sets it apart from the competition. I did install 2 m6 stainless washers similar to the ones that are included with Perrins kit. I am not sure if they really make much of a difference, but I think Kartboy should include them just to make sure there are no drawbacks to the Kartboy solution. The shift stop really transforms this shifter and was the best shifter modification I have done on this car. Highly recommended. |

Thanks for the updates guys. Yes. we'll include the washers. my shipment of 10,000 washers didnt come in before i sent the samples out. Finalizing a few small things then production run is happening.

If you noticed, the bolt holes are longer than Perrin's and push up against the reverse lockout. The little tab on the bottom rests on the edge of the shifter assembly. Perfect fitment with any adjustments. Thanks for engineering the part to work perfectly without the annoying need to adjust, Tom. |

Hey tom, i purchased the shifter stop directly from your website and there were no washers included. No biggie if i can just go to a local hardware store to pick it up. Can you send me the washer size? a previous post said M6? is that all i need to find it?

Subaru needs to put Kartboy on the development team, this out of all the mods I've done is the best. I honestly thought I would miss out on the shorter arm short throw units the past models had but I could care less at this point; the shifts are how they should've come from the factory. The prototype shiftstop is excellent, no complaints whatsoever, just a better drive day to day.
thanks so much |

Yup. I work in engine components and the OEs are kicking people to the curb over a tenth of a cent. It's hard to make good cars and line the wallets of investors. No automotive engineer feels good about the compromises they make, but the bottom line is everything.

I purchased the shifter arm thru the first group buy that didnt come with the bearing. Is it worth getting the shifter bearing, and how hard is it to install the bearing itself? I've had the shifter arm installed the same week I received delivery of my car back in September, and I love it. Also, should I get a shift stop as well if you have one? Trying to make shifting as seem less as possible.

It's been a while since anyone has posted here, but I thought I'd ask...
Tom - any change in plans for developing a STS lever arm? |
