About how long does it take to install the Steeda Short Throw Shifter in an 06 Focus?

I think you'll find most ppl say anywhere between 1/2 hour and an hour...it's pretty straightforward and their instructions are good.

Yea. Ford decided to pinch more pennies and remove the reverse-lockout for 2006.

took me about 15-20 mins last weekend, remved the center concole (2 bolts in the rear, 2 srews under the front cup holders) then take out the 4 screws that hold the plate over the shifter unsnap the linkages (kinda hard for some people) and the reassemble. major difference once i placed it in first. now i dont notice anything because i have had it for a week. didnt thing it was gonna make such a huge differnce but to my surprize. wow

Never really thought much of it, but when I shift into 4th with my steeda, and I pull up the lockout the shifter moves to the right about an inch. Is this normal??

yes becuase it is a pivoting shifter meaning that is your free play.

IT WAS HORRIBLE in my 05

if i pulled up on it in my 06 it get stuck on the resvse plate but i just reinstalled it and it fixed
