luckybullitt Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hi, not too sure how these forums work. Might be a topic already but I'm looking for a Kartboy short throw shifter and can't find anyone who sells them. I don't wish to go with Cobb as of yet since I have the Perrin reverse lockout installed and supposedly they don't go together. Any input would be nice if there are other brands new or used. I'm getting new bushings anyways. I'm in Montreal, Canada but it can be shipped to Champlain, NY. Regards, Steve L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/short-throw-shifters/sub-c1010fg600-subaru-oem-short-throw-shifter?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1KSw3arF6gIVAYnICh0vGg3wEAQYByABEgJUTfD_BwE Will that work ? May be Call them. I have a OEM STS in my 2005 GT wagon. The dealer installed it before I picked the car up back in later June 2004. It's still great. Oh, I just loaded a 08 Spec B and see this won't fit. Edited July 11, 2020 by Max Capacity 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

luckybullitt Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks but I looked EVERYWHERE even jp-parts etc. Was hoping to find used. The only vendor that has one is Cobb. I don’t want to swap linkage so as to fit STI STS cause they are different. I guess it’s Cobb then. Hope the Perrin reverse lockout will fit. Some say it works, some don’t. I’ll know in a month lol.

csaari Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I found this https://subimods.com/sti/2004-2005-sti/drivetrain/short-shifters/kartboy-short-throw-shifter-and-subimods-bushings-combo-2004-2016-sti-sm-kb-20-sti-6combo.html which is a kit with the shifter and bushings. Depending on the bushings you select, it shows it fitting 2007-2009 Spec B. And then this https://subimods.com/sti/2004-2005-sti/drivetrain/short-shifters/kartboy-short-throw-shifter-2004-2015-sti-kb-20-sti.html looks like the same shifter without the bushings, though it doesn't specifically show it fitting the Spec B. And this looks like the same shifter on Kartboy's website https://www.kartboy.com/collections/2008-2014-sti/products/subaru-6-spd-shifter Not 100% sure that's what you're looking for, but I think it is... might be worth double checking.

luckybullitt Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thanks csaari but the tech at Kartboy says I have to swap linkage from an STI and there is an issue with reverse cable fitment on that. He gave me the correct part number KB-20-SPEC-B. So I’ll go with the Cobb as some forums confirm it works with Perrin reverse lockout without any issues.
