Short Shift GFB SUBARU STI 6speed SuperShort kit

GFB offers 3 items for the Subaru Short Shifter:

• Short Shift GFB SUBARU STI 6speed Basic Kit NUMBER 4003
• Short Shift GFB SUBARU STI 6speed UPGRADE kit NUMBER 4202
• Short Shift GFB SUBARU STI 6speed SuperShort kit NUMBER 4002
The simplest way to describe the differences is this way:
4003 (basic kit) + 4202 (upgrade kit) = 4002 (SuperShort KIT). When the 4003 and the 4202 are added together, you get exactly the same parts as you do with the 4002.

 

 

Following on from our popular WRX short-shift kit, we have now released a new version to suit Subaru’s 6-speed gearbox found in all late-model STi’s, from MY02 and on.

As with our WRX kit, the GFB STi short shift kit includes a unique clamp arrangement that allows the shift throw to be reduced much more than by changing the gearstick alone. As you can see from the picture, the GFB clamp eliminates the need to lift the gearbox linkage higher to reduce shift throw. Instead, you simply select one of the three holes.

 

The factory shifter in an STi has a shift throw of 40mm per gate; the GFB unit is adjustable from the factory setting, right down to a tiny 22mm per gate! To put this into perspective, the best any aftermarket shifter (that replaces only the gearstick) can hope to achieve is 30mm per gate, without modifications to the linkages or surrounding bodywork.  The photos opposite show the stock STi shifter vs the GFB shifter from 3^rd to 4^th gear.

Installation is done completely from within the car, and is made much easier with the inclusion of a special tool for removal and installation of the reverse lock-out cable pin. Typically the installation can be completed within 20 minutes.
