Installed But hard as hell to shift i dont think i got that bolt to tight it was pretty tight on the old 1. Hardest to shift out of reverse.

If i wanted to get the Kartboy shifter and bushings, how would I go about telling him to thread it so i can keep my stock shift knob? Should i email him ahead of time, or tell him in the special instructions section of the order page?

Tell write it in the info when you order it.

I dont know if this is true or not but someone told me once that if you shorten the throw of your shifter, from what it is stock, you could over time mess up your syncrows..

Only shifter i would buy is the b&m its not much shorter then stock but shifts alot better.

What about TWM? They shorten the shift the most. I'm debating TWM or B&M right now.

I had the kartboy and the b&m and i liked it alot better. I also think that you couldnt beat the quality of the b&m.

installed the kartboy yesterday....extreme change....it really makes shifting easier. A very worthwhile investment.

I just ordered the Kartboy Shifter and the Bronze Oil Bushings from Corksport yesterday. I already have the Kartboy shifter bushings but the Bronze Oil ones that Corksport makes go into the shifter not the linkage by the tranny. So the shift should be even smoother... I also got the Stainless Steel Clutch Line as well.

I will post how everything turns out when I install them.

Awsome i want those

i put in the kartboy shifter bushings and they work awesome on the stock setup

 

[Laser03pro]

Those cork sport bushings would prob cause alot of vibration tho. Ill just leave mine alone it shifts awsome.

I dont mind a little vibration if it make the shift that much smoother. Plus those bushings self-lubricate as well...(thumb)

Just for clarification:
If I wanted to keep the stock shifter in the MSP, could I get replacement bushings that will improve the shifting?
If so, which ones do you recommend?
