***HELP! Kartboy SS Doesn't Fit?***
I bought http://www2.kartboy.com/x4/product.p...cat=253&page=1 for my 03 WRX. I just tried Installing it and it simply wouldn't fit. The neck part of the short shifter right above the ball were there is a tunnel for the bushing and metal slide was too wide. The serial# on the ss is "KB015321." I'm either assuming...
1. They straight up sent me the wrong shifter?
2. There is another way to install possibly from the bottom of the car but still the brackets won't match up?
3. I'm doing it wrong? but on scoobymods ( http://www.scoobymods.com/kartboy_sh...ings-t205.html ) it's self explanatory.
This wouldn't fit...
...into here

i did use the stock bushings in pic 1 connected to that metal tube... the thing is even without the bushings, it still doesn't clear. i bought the combo pack, the two plastic ones your talking about goes under the car near the tranny on the drivers side. FML
im just salty because i was looking to drive my car on the freeway to kapolei this weekend with my ss.
