Default GFB shortshift kit

Just bought a gfb short shift kit for my 06 wrx , is there any handy hints into fitting them or are they pretty straight forward ?

pretty straight forwards... if its the one im thinking about... keep it on the middle setting for a week (to get used to it) then go to the shortest throw

need a hammer to bash to the shifter into the gbox ball socket

These threads may help you with the install:

http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index...howtopic=28191

http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3791 (kartboy shift install, but is probably very similiar to the install of your GFB).

I recall seeing a GFB install thread once - maybe its the Kartboy link above that I am thinking of?

Good luck.

My 5spd one is awesome as intra said, i had mine on the middle setting for a couple weeks/month and then changed it to the shortest setting possible it's pretty good like that, altho when others hop into my car they usualy miss 3rd an put it into 5th lol

Cheers!
