a little backyard mech. here but i just cut 2 1/2 inchs off mine, and it has a shorter throw than one i could buy. and the throws are just as smooth. only cost me 1/2 hour of time.

Yes, their pricing is through the roof... some items are priced utterly ridiculously... however, you can't refute the quality. That does not excuse the green back raping though.

I Installed the Kartboy SS with Base Bushings & Shifter Linkage Bushings (which are a nifty Echo Slime Green color i might add). The Car came with a Perrin SS in it when i bought it (so good i didnt know it was in there until i started the Kartboy install) Well anyways, Install was a snap, i used the How-To's written up by Joe250, Everything was a snap the entire project took me just under 2hrs. The CAR FEELS AMAZING shifting, what a huge differance. Great products from Kartboy, I wish they made more stuff id probably live on the order page on the website!!

Got a kickass Atomic Fireball with my order also!!!

OEM style double bend, OEM style counter-weight, and OEM style plastic retainer (worth $15) all costs us money. Plus it's available in 15% or 30% throw reduction and does not require cutting the factory shifter housing.

If you're a SCCA, NASA, or SAE member, you're entitled to 5% off non sale items year round.

I've been told it's now as short in throw. Plus it's higher in price with no benefit to me. Just my 2cents
