Kartboy or B&M Sihfter?
Should I get the Kartboy Short Shifter for my 2002.5 es or the b&m?
Right now till 10-1-15, Kartboy is giving away free bushings if you order their shifter for $90
Sounds like a good deal, but I havent heard anything about that stick.
PLZ lemme know quick while the ordering is good!
Thanks, The Bean

I just bought the Kartboy as well but since I have no car right now 
I haven't installed it yet...but it LOOKS nice, just sitting there staring at me...
Of the big three (Kartboy, B&M, TWM) the Kartboy has the shortest throw. I think.

Another vote for KARTBOY. I've purchased a LOT of stuff for my P5 over the years, and my short shifter was the most pleasurable buying experience of them all.
Freebies, emails asking if I needed any help installing it, and after about 2 years with it installed, no problems or issues ever, with the shifter, ****, bushings (or even the free t-shirt!)
A++ for kartboy.

What do y'all think of this shifter?
Machined Aluminum
My Kartboy stuff came today
its steel, so I think it will be more durable, but it has a pin which holds the ball in place, I think the pin's hole may cause the bushung to wear...
I guess its probably better than the OEM. Does anyone know how much a new ball joint bushing assembly costs?

IMHO, the stock MSP shifter is more than anyone will need. If you're looking for a SHIRT shifter, just get a stock msp unit. If you're looking for a short THROW shifter, the KB is probably my first choice.

I didnt get a t-shirt. Just a sticker. Oh well, at least the bushings were free, thats worth more than a shirt.
