anyone know if there are any places selling short throw shifters for the 05 focus, or if the older ones will work ? and where to look and how to tell what gear box i have and anything else i might need to know ???
Isn't the '05 the same as the 02+ shifter. I think it is. I do know for a fact that it is the MTX-75 tranny. So any knob that fits the MTX-75 will fit, as for the shifter part, I think it's the same as say an 03.
Yeah Joe, the 05 uses the same STS as the 02+ Focuses did.
Steeda and Focus-Central seem to have the 2 most common/popular ones. The Steeda seems universally accepted as the best out there, from what I've heard.
I'm not sure if they help, but I bet you can make out how to do it. Maybe go by the SVT one... I'm guessing it isn't too different, even though it's a different tranny? There must be a Steeda how-to for the MTX-75 somewhere...
if they give you directions you can do it, it isn't that hard, though there is some plastic doohickey that supposedly breaks no matter how hard you try not to break it, cheap from ford.
