Installed Kart Boy shifter bushings last night in my '13 WRX hatch. What a difference! Why doesn't Subaru use urethane shifter bushings stock in a performance car, instead if granny Camry rubber ones???

Uldate: passed with flying colors! For a small shop the guy sure was thorough with the visual.

Picked up some aerokroil penatrant from winchester. Omg.....spent all day yesterday with useless pb blaster on a downpipe nut.
20 mins this morning after picking up some kroil and it came off no problem.

Almost done with my helix catted dp install. 2 sick days later due to no car.......I hate wrenching but kroil has made it enjoyable again.

I have the rear kartboy bushing that I want to remove. The transmission whine is driving me nuts. Need the stock piece. Care to give it up?

PB will work, but you have to soak the frozen bolt/nuts then wait at least 10 mins. and you will be amazed.

Sure, I can't see ever needing it again. Want to email me your address?

Dude pb has been amazing.....dont get me wrong. But to have to soak something overnight or spray it down for an hour vs letting something sit on there for 20 mins only using less than a teaspoon?
Ill take the penetrate that works better faster lol. Pb blaster did absolutely nothing for me this time. Went to the store the next day to pick up some kroil after wrenching on it again that morning with no luck and with hardly any force it broke free.

I tried torchin it and pb blaster but nothing I mean nothing was turning it just stripping the head.

Aerokroil is a godsend!
