Short shifter

[Subru]

Im looking at this short shifter kit which is kinda cheap but will it do the job?

I see other kits with bushings and other stuff which I presume help with the feel but it it necessary because all I want is shorter movement.

Nice timing with this man!!! I'm also interested in this atm. There are heaps of options out for the Subs, COBB, Kartboy, STI. My problem is I dunno whether it's worth spending big bucks on big name brand or will $70-$100 Trademe one work just as well? Also will bushings need replacing? Thanks for any extra info/advice guys!

There is one bushing that I will take out of the old stick and I will put in the new one You can replace other ones which come in bigger kits, other than that its pretty straight foward. Will update when its installed.

Mean!!! I'm still umming and ahhing on whether I buy cheap or not. Also, for any of our STI WRX drivers, can anyone confirm whether V7 STI has factory short shift as an article I was reading was saying this could also be an option? Also read this http://legacycentral.org/library/literature/diy_ss.htm and wondered what peeps make out about it. As i said, rather keen to do this but wanna get it right the first time

If you have a v7 sti you are probably better not to cheap out, the larger more expencive kits offer more/better stuff with adjustability and bushings etc. They also give the shift a much better feel too. maybe check out some reviews.

Lol!! I wish I had a V7 STI! I gotta 99 B4 but supposedly the V7 has a factory short shift kit that will bolt into the B4 without much in the way of modification so yeah
