      I have a 2022 Forte GT 6MT and am looking into buying the Ultimate Shift Package listed at $503.10. Mind providing a discount code for like 50% off or something? 😈😎

    1:36 thanks for not recommending this if you don't have a manual transmission. Lol, thankfully I do have a 6MT which is the reason I am watching this video 😂

    This is my next mod for my '21 GT. From what I've read about it, people have recommended getting the bushings and changing them out when you are putting in the boomba shifter.

      I agree. I would highly recommend getting them.

    I've always been looking forward to getting the kit, just dont know how much it would cost to install and where to go. How much did it cost you for installation?

    • @SSZGT
      @SSZGT  7 місяців тому

      I took it to a local shop that does things like suspensions and others performance items. It cost me 140 I believe to get it installed. I would call around and see if you can get a quote that is what I had to do.

    Does this void the warranty? I can’t stand the stock shifter. I can’t stand the way you have to put it in reverse. I’d much rather have the ring.

    • @SSZGT
      @SSZGT  2 роки тому

      I do not think it does. There is some warranty law where unless the part actually breaks something it will not void it. Considering this is just a metal arm I am not worried.

    • @michaelramos796
      @michaelramos796 2 роки тому +1

      I had this shifter on when I got my steering column replace and even a new battery. They didn’t say anything about it. Then again it depends on the dealership. I’d recommend you ask several dealerships.

      I would think there were no major changes from 21-23 but I would check Boomba’s website for more information.

      Not sure what you mean by the adapter? Pretty much just the knob and lever that came in the budle.

    I wouldnt pay 3 bucks let alone 300 for a shifter that doesnt spring back to center. Something is too tight or its a designed like garbage
