Short Shifter Bushing Combo | Subaru WRX (2008-2014), Legacy GT (2005-2009), Outback XT (2005-2009), Forester (2006-2013)
KB-9005
Bring back that crisp, mechanical shift feel your WRX had when it was new. The Kartboy Short Shifter and Bushing Combo is the go-to fix for sloppy, vague shifts caused by worn-out factory bushings and excessive throw.
This setup includes a CNC-machined short shifter that reduces throw by up to 40%, along with front and rear bushings made from high-durometer polyurethane to tighten up both front-to-back and side-to-side movement. It’s one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make to your drivetrain without opening up the transmission.
