Subaru Forester Short Shifter Bushing Combo - Kartboy - `98-`05 is a direct-fit bushing upgrade for 1998–2005 Forester manual transmissions. This compact combo tightens the shift linkage to deliver a more positive, confident shift feel without complex modifications.

Built for enthusiasts who want improved shift feedback, the Kartboy bushing combo replaces worn, soft factory bushings with firmer components to reduce play and improve consistency. The parts are designed to install using the stock hardware and fit the factory linkage geometry, making it a practical choice whether you’re preparing a daily driver for spirited driving or pairing it with a Kartboy short shifter. Expect crisper engagement, reduced slop, and longer-lasting performance compared with aging OEM bushings.

Features

• Direct fit for 1998–2005 Subaru Forester manual transmissions
• Reduces shifter slop for a firmer, more precise feel
• Installs with existing hardware; no major modifications required
• Designed to work well with Kartboy short shifter kits or as a standalone upgrade
