First of all after you install the from shifter bushings you can definitely notice a difference in the feel of putting the car in gear and also when you are driving the car and releasing the clutch any 'jolt' from the transmission is minimized and the ride is noticibly smoother. I installed this part myself seperate from the rear shifter bushing so I could feel the difference in each part. The install is simple but anooying to remove the old bushing I ended finding the trick is to use the bolt it is mounted on to push it out. Also when putting this part on the bolt ensure you put the first half on with the guide tube and web you put the second half on you use the table of a screwdriver to leverage the bushing onto the guide tube because it is hard to get clearence for the bolt to grab the threading with the washer on. All in all simple install!
Install: Install was straight forward and simple. I did not require the additional thinner center 'spacer'/'sleeve' that is supplied with the kit as the main shifter bushing 'spacer'/'sleeve' is snug to the shift bracket bolt. I also used my own lithium grease for the install as a precaution when installing. I am still using the factory rear bushing. Post install: The shifter feels noticeably different. The shifter has less excess movement and slides into gear with less effort through all gears. No additional NVH in the cabin that I notice at this time. This part was worth my time and money.
superb quality item, So I installed all at once. (recommend doing all these at once) Whiteline Rear Diff Positive Power Kit Inserts Whiteline Gearbox Positive Shift Kit Beatrush Shifter Link Bushings Kartboy Rear Shifter Bushing Perrin Subframe Lockdown Bushings Hard for me to differentiate which product did what, But MAN, I can tell the difference, With a 2011 Fully built WRX (EJ257 block, 380HP) and no suspension upgrades, These products were amazing. PROS - Rear end is muuuch tighter/sticks to the road during turns and taking off from stop - Acceleration is improved greatly, and feels like you have more power - Feels like power is going into the ground more - Very little drive line shock - Shifting is solid - went from feeling like a semi truck, to a Indy Super Race car CONS The rear shiftier bushing, was hard to line up with the existing holes (turn a little by little on each side)
Awesome product, easy install.. looks great.
Do you want a notchy shifter feel, because this is how you get notchy shifter feel! Installed this on my '14 WRX along with a KB SS and COBB rear shifter bushing. The Beatrush is by far the most noticeable modification of the group. There is zero squish when shifting into and out of gear. You will feel much more input from the trans. Slight whine through all gears but easily drowned out by the radio or exhaust. Excellent product!

Q: Where do these install? fordtruck7612 years ago
I am trying to think of where these install on the car, are these located where the Front KartBoy Shifter bushings install or are these installed somewhere else?

A: That is correct, these will install in the same location as the Kartboy front shifter bushings. Very easy to install, and makes a nice improvement in the shifter feel as well. :)

A: This is installed from under the car, which is the main pivot for the shifter assembly. If you lost the one that is inside the car, then it would be the pivot bushings.
