This is a discussion on Short shifter within the Interior Mods forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; Just got my Kartboy short shifter in for my 2010 WRX. Any advice before I start the install?...

Put in at least the pivot bushings with it. The bushings are great.
Be careful with the o rings on the plastic cup. They fall off or don't go on quite right, so just be patient.
Have some way to get the c-clip out. I got a cheap set of pliers. Use cotton swabs to get the grease off before trying.
Just be patient and careful with dash clips. Its not a bad install if its just the lever side of it.

Yeah I'm an idiot. I knew I should have ordered bushings with it too. Now I'm gonna have to wait till the bushings get here to install it. Sucks...wanted to install it tomorrow
O and thanks for the advice guys
If you are not doing the pivot bushings,then you can install the SS.

Yea but if I got it all apart, I should install new bushings right?
the front & rear bushings are installed from under the car.
If you got the super shifter kit,it comes with pivot bushings.They are the ones installed from inside the car.
