Specifications
Part Details:
The factory STI shifter has a long, sometimes vague throw that leaves gear changes feeling slower and less precise than they should be. This Kartboy Short Shifter is a direct swap for the factory shifter, cutting shift throw by up to 40 percent and lowering shift knob height by about an inch, delivering a noticeably crisper, more driver-focused gear change.
CNC machined and TIG welded from 4130 chromoly steel for lasting strength, the kit arrives pre-assembled with a shifter arm and replacement shift linkage bushings, ready for a straightforward install. Pairs especially well with Kartboy’s front and rear shifter bushings for the most complete shift feel improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit the WRX?
No. This shifter is built specifically for the 2004 to 2021 Subaru STI 6-speed. The WRX did not offer a 6-speed until 2015, and the WRX and STI shift linkages differ, so this kit does not fit the WRX.
Is this shifter adjustable?
No, it is a fixed short throw design, mechanically shortening the shift throw length rather than offering multiple adjustment positions.
Should I pair this with anything else?
Many owners pair it with Kartboy’s front and rear shifter bushings for the most noticeable improvement in overall shift feel.
