Im planning on getting a short shifter real soon (i mean like
today/tomorrow).

I know the kartboy's are on back order for a while.
I wanna know if anyone recommends the B&M.


mines a Pro5 03'.

Thanks,
ken

Sir Nuke

I do....and HIGHLY. its a great piece......however....what I further recommend....regardless of which shifter you end up getting....get the Kartboy bushings.....they are a great addition to any shifter combo.

Don't the Kartboy bushings put more strain on your synchros/tranny?

PhotoPro5

Nope.

The bushing simply removes the freeplay normally found in the shift. You know how you can move the gear lever around a bit even when the car is in gear? Well, the bushings take away most, if not all of that play for a more positive engagement.

The shift-throw distance is left intact, as is the rest of the transmission linkage.

thanks for the info.

actually, tom at kartboy sent me an email that he got a whole
bunch back in stock. so i orderd the shifter, ****, and
the bushings set. hahaha.


dis should be very kool.

It seems Tom's shipping dept is all ephed up. I got two of everything I ordered, but being honest I sent the extra back. No wonder he's got some back in stock. He even sent a T-shirt when I returned the extra order. A helluva guy.

The B&M may look better, but kartboy's are a much better deal.

Tom@kartboy

thanks for being honest. thats pretty rare these days, and its unfortuante.

anyhow shifters are back in stock
happy shifting
Tom

hi Tom, the shifter is installed. i like it a lot!! thanx to a great product. the **** is kinda too low for my shifting so im going to raise it a tad, but the gates are precise and very nice feel.

the install itself wasnt that hard at all. oh i did blur out some
profanity while taking off the stock bushings. hahaha. i hit my
arm on something and tore some skin off. hahaha, clumsy
asian ***.
