The factory linkage in the STI 6-speed drivetrain was designed with comfort and vibration isolation in mind, but over time that rubber-isolated joint can introduce excess play and a disconnected feeling during shifts, especially during aggressive driving in a very legal manner or fast gear changes getting safely up to speed to merge on the highway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OEM setup uses a rubber-isolated joint that wears over time and absorbs shift input instead of transferring it directly to the transmission. The Kartboy solid shift joint replaces that factory assembly with a precision machined solid connection for a more direct and consistent gear change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 2004–2021 Subaru STI 6-speed manual transmission applications, this kit was engineered from a clean-sheet design. The Kartboy solid shift joint features solid stainless machined center cross tubes, press-fit bronze bushings, and precision machined stainless crush tubes for a bind-free design while still allowing proper bolt torque - this is a component built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great upgrade when installing a short shifter, refreshing worn linkage components, or tightening up the overall feel of an aging STI 6-speed drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/39ZEjgjv_Z8?si=0wcu4EY1Ajd5TFDR\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2708\/8038\/files\/u-joints-v2.png?v=1779471262\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKB-001-01005 Fitment:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e2004 - 2021 Subaru 6-SPD Manual Transmission\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Note 1: A very limited number of 2004-2005 STI had a riveted joint from factory, if so you will need Subaru PN 35046FE010. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease verify before ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Note 2: We tested 2004 STIs in development.
