Complete Shift Overhaul Kit for Early 5-Speed Subarus & SPT Linkages
Transform rubbery, sloppy gear selection into crisp, rifle-action shifts with the Kartboy Short Throw Shifter & Bushing Combo (KB-9004). Designed for early 5-speed Imprezas and 2002–2007 WRXs equipped with factory SPT short-throw assemblies, this all-in-one performance kit bundles Kartboy’s legendary 4130 chromoly narrow-barrel short shift lever with high-durometer polyurethane front and rear shifter stay bushings.

40% Reduced Travel & Solid Linkage Lockdown
The short shift lever drops overall shift knob height by 1 inch while reducing throw distance between gates by up to 40%. By replacing soft, worn factory rubber stay bushings with Kartboy's stiff polyurethane upgrades, you eliminate flex under hard driving, delivering rock-solid gate feel and instant tactile feedback.

What's Included:

• Short Shift Lever: Kartboy 4130 Chromoly Short Throw Shifter (Narrow Linkage Barrel) [Part # KB-001-RS]

• Front Bushings: Kartboy 5-Speed Front Shifter Stay Polyurethane Bushings [Part # KB-003-5SP]
