I just installed my Kartboy Short Shifter and I'm loving the difference. It's like night to day. I thought it wasn't much of a big deal; I WAS WRONG! My installation time would've been shorter only if had refered back to the instruction from Scoobymod... I was too excited!

Anyone thinking of buying cost effective, significant difference shifter... go with KartBoy Short Shifter. I highly recommend it as others in here would!

 

nice tool set and cooler

 

Yeah it really does make a big differeance. wait till you put a rear bushing your going to cry.

 

that looks nice...how long was the install?

 

Lots of KB install links here:

Mine took longer than it should be. I took almost an hour trying to install the shifter. I was trying to pull the stock shifter off its socket, when I could've just push the shifter heading the rear seats and it will pop right off. My advise... read the instruction carefully before doing things. It will make your installation much easier.

 

Finally, my shift **** came!

 

Keep a black or white sock in the car with you and cover it when you park outside. Trust me, metal shift ***** get HOT.

used to have a greddy counterweight shift ****. it looked really nice, but got really really hot in the summer days, and really really cold during winter.

 

Haha... yea, been hot during the days and cold at night, and I've felt both temperatures! Thanks, will do so!

 

Update:

I finally decided to install the Kartboy bushing myself... I was hesitant but I bit the bullet. The installation was not bad at all, although, I had a little hard time looking for the link where the bushings are placed. Other than that, it was an easy installation.

I don't notice a whole lot of difference between the OEM bushing and Kartboy bushing. I started out having that tall OEM shifter, to Kartboy short shifter which really made a world of difference. Then the Kartboy bushing, with very little improvement that I can barely notice it. But, when shifting fast, I do notice a better and precise throws. IMO, it shines in fast shifts.
