SLegacy99 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Sometimes I like short throw, other times I love the long throw feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 From the reading and asking I've done, most people think the Cobb is the best STS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackacc Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I have a slightly modified kartboy and I love it. I cut the threads and ground down the thick part of the shaft so the knob can twist down over it further. It is the perfect height now, But if I could do it all over, I'd get the cobb. Totally adjustable so you can make it as long or as short as you want.

mickeyd2005 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I've been shopping around for a short throw shifter for a while. The three I considered in the order of least desirability were: Kartboy - This looks like a great shifter, but doesn't seem to have adjustability. Oddly, there are different Kartboy STS for different Subarus. I thought all the 5 speeds were interchangeable but they're not. MSI - This has an adjustable throw, but the height is not adjustable. It looks like the best machined STS. Shiny. Cobb - If this ever goes on sale, I'm going to pounce on this one. I don't know if I need the height adjustment, but it's nice to have it because I have a raised armrest but I also want better access to HVAC controls.

itsme Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I got the kartboy and it's great. I would get the shifter first then get the front bushing later. I took off my kartboy front bushing because it made my car too hard to shift.

eldiablo Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I got the kartboy and it's great. I would get the shifter first then get the front bushing later. I took off my kartboy front bushing because it made my car too hard to shift. I too love my kartboy sans bushing. Height is just right for my tatse so there was no need for the adjustable Cobb. Either way, you can't go wrong. My VB Garage... Pumping the air back into despair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
