Review "Kartboy Short Shifter and Bushings" PICS
First of all the stock shifter on the EVO and most cars is a POS 
Once you intsall the Kartboy Short Shifter with Neon Bushing the car becomes a new beast. I have around 300WHP in my EVO and with quicker smoother shifts it feels like even a crap driver like me can keep the RPM's up 
The stock shifter in my opinion is to notchy and with bushing and shoftshifter the shifts are smoother and It is harder to miss shift. If you don't get short shifter the complete Bushing set for $45 is well worth it. I also got the Kartboy knob and of the 4 knobs (stock, MOMO, Raliart Knob, KartBoy) I have had I like this one the most.
The stock knob is to light
The Momo knob is to big in size
The Ralliart Knob is to high
The Kartboy knob sit low, easy to grip, heavier than stocker and looks pimp
(you can get differnt stickers for different looks I chose the kartboy logo)
The combination of the bushing, shoftshifter and knob have made driving my EVO very fun. When you think about it, these mods are the Heart and Soul of the car so you better make sure they look feel and work correctly
Since I live in San Diego I have met Tom at the car meets and he is one cool dude who help customers in San Diego with install of his products. That is some customer service for you

Look at how low the Shifter is now

That looks so frigin' nice. When i get some money I'm definitely getting on of those. Did it happen to come w/ a replacement retainer clip since you have to cut the othe one off?

I have had the same shifter and the rest of the cartboy evo stuff for a little while now. It really improves the shifter feel. My only gripe is 5th and reverse. It a little stiffer for those 2 gears. Other than that, its worth the money.
