GREAT NEW PRODUCT!!!!
GFB NEW Short Shifter!!
GFB WRX Adjustable Short Shifter – THE shortest throw shifter on the market for your Subaru!
Less time changing gears means more time on the throttle! Working on a different principle to other products on the market, the GFB Short Shifter can be adjusted to reduce the throw by up to 40% over standard (more for early models), significantly shorter than even an STi! Like all GFB components, the Short Shifter is well engineered and manufactured from the highest grade materials.
Don’t be fooled by similar (or even greater) claims of such dramatic throw reduction, GFB’s Short Shifter IS the shortest kit you can bolt to your car!
That’s a big call, so what makes the GFB unit different from others? By raising the pivot point to the gearbox shift linkage, the throw is proportionally reduced, that’s the easy part. BUT, on the WRX, the gearbox shift linkage can only be lifted about 10mm before it hits the surrounding bodywork. This is where all other brands on the market stop, which equates to a throw reduction of about 10-15%.
GFB on the other hand, supply a unique bracket that clamps to the gearbox shift linkage and allows the pivot point to be raised up to 40mm above standard! On the shortest setting, the throw is a tiny 30mm per gate! In fact, the LONGEST setting on our shifter is STILL SHORTER than everyone else’s.
Price $175 shipped!!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Brian

thrower1283 - Hey I know that it IS shorter then the factory option short shifter. It is the shortest shifter on the market today because of the pivot point that GFB optimizes. Like it states above all others hit the bracket surrounding the cut out which equates to only about 10-15% reduction. GFB a unique bracket that helps to avoid this and make the reduction 40% over stock. As far as how much more over the factory option short shifter I would have to say at least 20-25% more reduction by going with the GFB. This is no test out yet to tell for sure. But these guys know what they are doing when it comes to parts that are cutting edge! Who else brought us the first adjustable BOV??
Thanks,
Brian

Wagons_Own - Hey I talked to GT Spec today and they said that they had never had anyone ask that question or had test fit the GC models. But he said that he would look into it and see if he could get a fitment rulling and let me know as soon as he could. They also said that they would be designing and prototyping stuff for that model soon but they haven't done test fitting on the US spec cars. I will let you know when I find something out!
Thanks,
