Merry X-mas Suby dudes and dudettes! (my first post - woohoo!)

Santa forgot to get me a new STI for Christmas, (maybe it couldn't fit down the chimeney?) instead getting me a Kartboy short-throw shifter and bushings (from the wonderful Oakos.com).

I run outside in the rain, pajamas and all and spend the 30 minutes or so putting that baby in (short-throw, not the bushings - looks too hard for me). So there it is - installed - time for the cherry on top; my Momo/Subaru shifter ****.

I push down hard and start screwing - just doesn't seem to catch - seems slightly tight but can be pulled right off. Looking inside **** - the treads look to be deeper in than the stock **** and maybe the Momo slopes in a little? I dunno.

*Both the Momo and stock **** fit fine on stock shifter
*Stock **** fits on both shifters just fine (and is on now)

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

me again,

So - I'm going to take the car into a shop in Hayward - I forget the name, but seems like a nice establishment.

Didn't want to start a new thread - but the question is;

When taking car into the shop for bushings and hopefully to get **** fitted on - stock 03 WRX (with shifter) - and lets say I have a little extra dough burning a hole in my pocket ($350) - I'm thinking Helix flex uppipe. Good idea?

Yay or nay?

 

Yay (great site - very helpful!);
