Short Shifter for STi?
Are there any short shifters for the STi 6speed besides the $400 one? I really want to find one so that I can tidy up the shifting.
Yeah, You've Probably Never Heard Of Me.

You can do the Kartboy shifter bushings to take the slop out of the shifting action. One member just did the install on his 6MT and it took him a half-hour.

HUH? where did you get this information from? i dont see any possible way that this could happen. the only thing that is changed from our shifter or any other aftermarket shifter is the fulcrum point.
Yes we'll have the STi shifter late this week early next week
we did the final test on the SCC STi saturday and everything went great.
