It is a short-stroke gear shift lever assembly in pursuit of quick shift work worthy of a sports car. By changing the lever ratio, twist the joints, we have reduced the amount of 4mm each stroke direction forward and after filtration. This allows us to achieve a high sense of direct shift feel further quick.

Im assuming you are a dealership, is this something you plan on selling? If so how much? Thanks

$499+ US :eyebulge:

Yes, I work for a Subaru Dealership. No, I would assume that my store won't be selling the part until/if well after it arrives stateside.

Edit: Seems like 2 threads got merged, ayau already mentioned this so my post is now irrevelent :<

I swear we had a thread on this earlier in the week by @Hanakuso.

Found it! http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20899

Whoops! Searched and everything. IBTM/L!

Billet Proshop designed their short shift on my car, and i have been driving it since aroun a month and a half, and god i don't want to go back to these stock shifter.

The shift feels more direct, shorter throw while keeping the lenght and mixed with some mt-90 it just goes in like butter.

Can't wait to have new parts available on the car, working with Billet Proshop is a charm and they will take care of you if something happens!!!

Yeah but for $250 more you get a nice shiney STi sticker! :thumbup:

Has anyone picked this up yet? I'm thinking either the B-Proshop or just waiting for kartboy. I honestly just want a black reverse ring that matches a black Duracon/Delrin shift knob.

Latheworks said it would cost too much to develop just the ring, so I've been patiently waiting for someone else to tackle it.

Tom said he was making one...just wait.
