Shifting feel

None (maybe engine vibration if you care)

Another product everyone should have. The perfect thing for anyone with a shifter, makes every shift that much easier and more precise. The only negative issue some people might not like is that the drivetrain vibrates the shifter more, but I consider that mostly a positive as I like knowing what my car is doing

Doesn\'t shorten the throw any more, just gives a nice positive, no slop feel to each shift. Works GREAT with a Kartboy short throw. Can be installed by the user pretty easy as well.

You must get these. they should be one of the very first things to get for your car. This is the way it should feel from the factory. I just drove my friend\'s car that does not have these and forgot how much of an improvement they make. You must get these! They are not super hard to install, but they are a pain.

Shifting is now not as slopy as before with the stock bushing. Installation was simple (made even faster with the use of a vehicle lift). Everyone can do this with everyday tools and about 30min or their day.

Pros:

Shifting Improvement, Less \"Clunk\"
|
|
Cons:
|
Above average installing difficulty
|
|
I *HIGHLY* recommend this. These bushings look and feel simple, but the improvement you get when you shift is MUCH MUCH better then stock. Each shift feels in place and theres less of the \"clunk\" you get with the stock bushings (which are rubber pieces of crap). Do the improvement and feel for yourself as these are items I would replace on every Impreza I would buy.

I had ordered the Kartboy shortshifter and bushings at the same time, but only installed the shortshifter at first due to time constraints. After adding the kartboy bushings, the shift felt more positive and not as mushy feeling going through the gears.
I highly recommend these bushings, the improvement on the shifter feel is great.

The feel of the short throw is greatly improved with these bushings installed. I also like the feedback the drivetrain sends through the shifter now.

Installed on an 04 wrx wagon. This was my first bushing install. PITA. Well, it too me a good 30 min. for the bushings alone.

I dont have the kart boys but I do have some generic ones from Ebay and they\'re great.The only thing hard about the install is removing the old bushing, I cut it off with a steak knife. This is deffenitely one of the first things you should buy.It will make a world of difference

Installing the bushing was easy....with the help of scoobymods.com. I installed the bushing a couple days after I installed the short shifter and I noticed that the bushing made the shifting feel more soild. Kartboy is awesome

Not to difficult to install. Does improve shifting feel alot, but at the expense of some noise when coupled with the Kartboy short shifter. Shifting in the WRX was always a short coming until this mod.

i\'m actuallt writing this for both the front and rear shifter bushings... they make your shifts feel rock solid, no more guessing. everyone should get this upgrade. it also combos nicely with the short shifter.
