GFB STi 6-Speed Short Shift Kit 4002

GFB STi 6-Speed Short Shift Kit 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 3rd to 4th 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

GFB’s Short Shift kits are like no other. Until you feel the action of one for yourself, you won’t believe the difference!

True to our philosophy of Performance Without Compromise, GFB’s Short Shift Kits are designed with a unique linkage system that means the shift throw is fully adjustable whilst retaining the stock gearstick height and requiring NO modifications to the transmission tunnel. That means you can simply bolt one on, adjust it the way you want it, and get a positive and direct “race car” shift feel!

We’ve also made the installation as easy as possible. Our 6-speed Subaru kits include a specially designed pin removal tool for the reverse cable. Suffice to say, you’ll appreciate what a great touch this is when you install the kit.

Suitable for:

• Subaru Impreza GD, GG All-wheel Drive (2001 to 2006)
• Subaru Impreza GD All-wheel Drive (2005 and later)
