I finally got around to installing my Kartboy short throw shifter and busings. All I can say is wow. What a difference these pieces make. It really makes you realize how sloppy the stock shifter is. Install was very straightforward and took about 1.5 hours. Tom at Kartboy was a great guy to deal with and shipped everything immediately. Kartboy - excellent product, service and price .

 

how much you pay? I want the exact same setup

 

It's a great shifter the bushings are nice to.

 

$225 shipped.

 

I couldn't agree more. Great mod, inexpensive and simple to install.

 

is that $225 for everything in the picture including a new oem plastic pivot cup?

 

you get a t-shirt too?

yeh, is yours adjustable?

 

Yep $225 for everything in the picture (shifter, knob, underhood bushings, shifter base bushings, OEM pivot cup and t-shirt/stickers). Everything you need to ensure shifting perfection.

BTW, the shifter is not adjustable. that said, there is not cutting involved with the install (unlike the B&M adjustable shifter).

 

nice ive got their bushing under the hood and on my base. They get kinda squeaky sounding lately.

 

maybe you need to put some lithium grease on it?

 

Pics of the install?

btw... does anyone know if using white lithium grease on the plastics and shifter parts have any kind of bad effect to them? I mean, wil it corrode the plastics or anything?

 

I followed the installation instructions at http://www.kartboy.com/install.html

 

I bit the bullet because of this thread. Bought the Kartboy kit last night.

 

Looks like a very nice kit but I went with the Megan racing instead...

 

Are there any drawbacks to a shortshifter...
