The OEM setup uses a soft rubber-isolated joint that wears over time and absorbs shift input instead of transferring it cleanly to the transmission. The Kartboy solid shift joint replaces that factory assembly with a machined solid connection for a more direct and consistent feeling gear change.
Designed for Subaru 5-speed and 6-speed manual transmissions these kits were engineered starting with a clean-sheet design. The Kartboy solid shift joint features solid stainless machined center cross tubes, press-fit bronze bushings, and precision machined stainless crush tubes for a bind-free design while still allowing proper bolt torque - this is a component built to last.
Unlike other shift joints on the market, ours features crush tubes, allowing the installer to properly tighten the fasteners, without binding of any kind.
