Talking Kartboy installed!

Oh man, that shifter and the bushings, GREAT!
The c-clip was a bitch to take out and put back in but other then that, it was easy, and it feels amazing, rock solid and good throw length... now all i need it my sparco **** which is 'in the mail'

for the c-clip i used some needle nose pliers (small ones) and it came out on the 3rd try, the 1st 2 tries it sliped and poped back into place, so the trick is to just go REAL slow

Installed mine a couple weeks ago and loving it!

kenchan, how long did you try the bushings before you went back to stock?

Mine felt a little too notchy at first but it feels smoother now. I like how it reduced the side ways play.
The only thing is, now I find I'm resting my palm on the handbrake handle since the kartboy **** is so low.

i used it for about 3 weeks before going back to stock bushings.
even now its still a little bit too knotchy for me. i need a longer **** so that i can get it 'just right.' the kartboy imo is too short.

i would recommend these 2 options:
1. factory shifter, kartboy bushings, kartboy knuckle ball ****.
2. kartboy shifter, factory bushings, taller **** than factory.

hey got a Nokya shift **** today in blue. i use nokya pedals
so it matches the blue and the blue is very close to my blue mica color so its cool. i have it set pretty tall and it now shifts
very smoothly. the short shifter is too short. use a tall
**** and its great!
