This kit is made up of 4 key components: TiC Shift Linkage Bushings, TiC Pivot Bushings, Kartboy Front Shifter Bushings, and Kartboy Rear Shifter Stay Bushings Together, they transform the shifting experience in your Subaru.

TiC STi Shift Linkage Bushings

• These replace the soft rubber bushings in the shift linkage joint. Over time, the stock bushings “pack out,” creating excessive side-to-side slop at the end of the stick. Whether your STi is an early or later model, and whether you have the stock shifter, STi/SPT short shifter, or another aftermarket lever, the stock bushings allow sloppy, vague shifts. Our stiffer polyurethane bushings minimize side-to-side play, prevent packing out, and give your shifts a much more positive, precise engagement—while keeping NVH close to stock.

TiC Pivot Bushings

• These bushings are installed directly in the shifter lever under the leatherette shift boot, not down by the transmission, making them easy to replace from inside the car in just a few minutes. Upgrading to these bushings noticeably improves shift feel, making the shifter tighter, more precise, and enjoyable to use. They are a direct replacement for the stock pivot bushings, which can wear over time and create slop in the lever.

Kartboy Front and Rear Shifter Stay Bushings

• Subaru uses soft rubber for the shift lever’s hard mounting points, which results in vague fore-and-aft motion. The Kartboy stay bushings replace the stock rubber with stiffer urethane, eliminating slop and giving each gear a crisp, positive click. The result is a shift feel that is much tighter and more responsive.
