Intro & How to Install | Boomba Short Shifter for '14+ Ford Fiesta ST

[@sneakers8025]

Just added the short shifter, shifter plate, and metal bushings to my 2019 Fist. This may be the best mod package ever made! Well done, Boomba!

[@BoombaRacing]

Woot! Thank you for choosing Boomba!

[@benpacker924]

All the people complaining about the install. Its pretty straightforward. Be patient, be precise, and it goes smoothly! Its just some bolts and tabs.

[@mojostevo]

Just installed mine. Holy crap, what a difference. I love you guys designed it to sit the knob closer to the driver too, no more having to make my passenger shift 3rd and 5th for me, lol. I wish I did this sooner.

[@BoombaRacing]

Lot's of research went into that slight relocation. Glad to hear it didn't go unnoticed! Thank you for sharing your feedback.

[@gior294]

Obviously the shift knob is loose, you can’t tighten it all the way or else reverse with not go in because of the lockout. So what do you do to tighten it up with the reverse lockout still functional?

[@mattmiller4710]

Which direction shorten and lengthens row?

[@BoombaRacing]

Here is the breakdown of all of that: cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server6000/o5238/products/472/images/1197/15534827346_4e5c81e9f0_k__40531.1413841356.1280.1280.jpg?c=2

Hello I know it’s been years this video was made, but I wanted to know if this also works on the manual 5 speed? Please and I appreciate it

[@BoombaRacing]

Hi, we unfortunately have not confirmed fitment for this short throw shifter on the 5-speed so we're not quite sure. Thank you for your interest though!

[@yeshuasalgado9392]

@@BoombaRacing ok thank you 👍

[@AnthonyArmstrongFiesta]

Glad the 5 speed short shift I got included a shifter base and arm preassembled....not sure I would have been bothered breaking it down and building it again :/

[@BoombaRacing]

It is worth the effort!

[@AnthonyArmstrongFiesta]

Ah yes I guess you are right, and I know you guys are quality. I assume cost would be a factor as well. The extra base is essentially a waste too. I can see the benefits I suppose :)

[@MrJ38]

So the damn clip that holds the shifter adapter broke. Will that matter at all going forward?

[@BoombaRacing]

Could you send me an email with a picture of what you're talking about to [e-mail]

[@MrJ38]

Boomba Racing thanks for replying, fixed the issue by drilling out a hole and adding a screw and nut to hold it in place.

[@MatthewTitterington-bq7eh]

Would this fit a 5spd fiesta se? don't see why this wouldn't work but I want to confirm

[@BoombaRacing]

Hi, unfortunately we have not test fitted the shifter but the bushings and shift knob itself would fit the Fiesta SE!

[@MatthewTitterington-bq7eh]

@@BoombaRacing send me one il fit it for you guys and let you know

[@MatthewTitterington-bq7eh]

Would you return if it doesn't fit

[@BoombaRacing]

@@MatthewTitterington-bq7eh Hi, unfortunately at this time we are not looking to test fit the part on the Fiesta SE. Thank you for your interest!

[@MatthewTitterington-bq7eh]

@@BoombaRacing what is your return policy of it doesn't fit.

[@tungol00]

Damn that's a lot of work.

[@BoombaRacing]

tungol00 installation isn't too bad if you take your time.

[@mikechavez109]

They need to show a before & after shot on how short the throws are, plus that type of Application is a hassle to install, I have the FSWORKS short shift plate in front of the fire wall, my mechanic installed it in about 15 min and it works great and was only like $75.00, I have it on the 30% reduction and it’s smooth as butter.

[@BoombaRacing]

We sell a very similar piece and offered it way before FSWerks ever did: www.boombaracing.com/ford-fiesta-st-transmission-adapter-plate/

[@nordattack]

You don't actually show how the finished install works.

[@BoombaRacing]

+nordattack What would you be interested in seeing? Just how the shifting looks with the new pieces installed? We can shoot something for you.

[@nordattack]

+BoombaRacingInc We would definitely like to see what it looks like fully installed and how it works compared to the stock shifter.

[@BoombaRacing]

+nordattack We'll try to get a video highlighting that in the next few days here.

[@TheEmilyclaire666]

you broke the plastic tab on the front plastic thingy!

[@BoombaRacing]

+Steven Lopez Lol I see what you're talking about. It didn't break though, just fell off the locator. It would need to be reattached.

[@Brian_Fantastic]

No, right at 3:54 you can see it's missing a little tab. Same thing happened on mine, and now that plate comes loose. I had to wedge something between the inside of the shroud and the shifter arm so that it wouldn't wiggle out while I was driving.

[@BoombaRacing]

That piece can be very fragile. JB weld or a plastic epoxy can be used for some reinforcement.

[@LeeroyJNCOs]

Is that how you fixed it? From the video, it sounds like when re-attaching the arm, it snapped in like the tab was repaired?

[@xTruthxWithinx]

Brian Walker what did you put in yours I snapped that tab also?!

[@blt308]

why do you think boomba is not showing us how the finish product works like? why haven't they included a clip actually rowing the shifter??? why??? after showing us all that tedious steps...

[@BoombaRacing]

+b k We can take another video for you if you'd like. There really isn't much to see. The main reason we didn't include a clip is because over video it is hard to demonstrate the reduction in throws. We have tons of pictures with over-lays if you'd like to see the reduction.

[@mikechavez109]

b k I was wondering the same thing, I have the FSWORKS short shift plate in front of my firewall and it works great and was only 15 minutes to install and was only $75.

[@padelfull]

Hi, do you made this for normal fiesta? (NO ST )?

[@BoombaRacing]

At this time we do not offer a short throw shifter for the non-ST Fiesta.

[@robbanks50]

Would this fit a euro spec ST?

[@BoombaRacing]

Yes, we've got customers running these in Euro Spec Fiesta STs.

[@AzNightmare]

*Says we need Lithium Grease. Is no where to be found in instructions...*

[@BoombaRacing]

Sorry about that. Pretty much anything that is already greased from the factory needs to remain greased when our shifter is installed. This is mainly referring to the bushings that are reused out of the bottom of the stock shifter.

[@AzNightmare]

*oh boy... I kind of installed everything back already... lol*

[@BoombaRacing]

Shouldn't be too big of a deal. Those bushings are already greased from the factory. The Fiesta shifter doesn't have a large shifter ball like the Focus shifter so there aren't as many points to grease.

[@AI_Ralph]

That shit looks shorter than OEM. they need to make something that increases the shifter

[@sethnnam190]

HAHAHA yooo..its a short shifter kit yah troll lol

[@meganjay30]

lmfao only a fucken kangaroo needs a longer gear stick WTF...

[@Mustbcedric]

Jesus Christ man

[@meganjay30]

lol wtf

[@Deadpoolmasterchief]

......... idk what to say but this is way too complex
