looks pretty good. $25 and free shipping. guy has good feedback. use paypal for sure and make sure you get it installed quick so you can send it back if it doesn't work.

On that model vehicle, a short shifter is unnecessary. All you have to do is raise up your boot and move the plastic piece where the upper cable connects to the shifter arm. You cam move it up as high as you can so long as the tab that holds it centered is still holding the clamp centered. That will give you all the short shifting that any shifter can give you without the expense. The shifter rod just won't be shorter.

Check out Duratec Performance, which is where I'm moving this thread because Ford Focus Technical Chat is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.

I'd pass on that style of shifter. The Steeda sts works awesome.

You can do what whynotthinkwhynot suggested or just go with the Steeda unit.

i had that exact shifter back when F2 was pushing that chinese junk as their own. garbage. mine didnt fit right and the ball the shift cable attached to was slightly too small so it would pop off while shifting.

im sure like all ebay stuff quality is hit or miss but i wouldnt waste my money on that chance. like above, modify the stock one and if thats not enough save up for something better. hell i just sold a steeda for not much more than that so watch the for sale section
