[@mysty1e13]

Great video, I have done the mod myself to my own 240 and I find that the short shifter is a lot more stiffer feel making it more difficult to select gears 1, 2, 5 and R and I find my self going from 1st gear to 4th gear because the shifter naturally wants to pull towards the middle as soon as you take it out of 1st . Other than that I'm happy with the overall performance of the short shifter kit

[@matejsommer72]

the way he says "out" cracks me up :D

[@RelativeMuse]

Never seen Trailer Park Boys?

[@anonymousmind]

How about refurbishing the shift knob, steering wheel and handbrake? I would love to see them getting cleaned and restored! Or even just replacing them?

[@RAndrewNeal]

I honestly like the regular, longer shift distance. You don't have to be extremely precise with your hand, and still have the leverage of more distance to move between gears. Comes down to personal preference.

[@sofakingtouge2399]

the last 3 cars I've bought needed new shift linkage, bushings etc. I'm quite surprised just how little people (even car guys) give a shit about their cars. worse the manual transmission fan boys who have cars that shift like a row boat.

[@milanmastracci]

Oh you're telling me lol I agree with you 100%

[@sofakingtouge2399]

milanmastracci i should add i do install short shifters but then add shift extensions. so i end up with a more or less stock throw but up closer to the wheel.

I know the benefits of a short throw shifter, but you didn't really sell it to me in the video. You said it would 'transform your gear changes but you didn't go into detail, for all I know it could slow them down (I know it doesn't) but just work on your presentation.

Scott Hansford circles have an infinite amount of corners. Although it's a finite length of 2*pi there will always be a rational length that's a little bit farther than the one you're comparing it to thus giving a new tangent (by the property of circles and tangents). So you're wrong.

What do you do if there are no kits available for your car? First generation Ford Focus in my case.

[@DavisSgt]

ast5515 I just checked Summit Racing. They do have Steeda short throw shifters for the Ford Focus,not sure what year yours is but I searched for the 2003 model since it is the middle for the first generation. Summit Racing usually carries quality stuff in my opinion

[@ast5515]

I searched that site too, but I only found one for the ST. I'm in Europe and I have the 1.6 petrol. There are kits for the 1.8, but that uses an MTX75 gearbox and mine has the ib5.

[@DavisSgt]

Damn,man. Didn't knew about the IB5 thing until I searched around.Read through the forums and people said that there was no development for the IB5 and only for the R65 and MTX75. They said it felt good as is or you could just chop it. Found this though,not sure if it will work : www.ralcorz.com/Ralco-RZ-914824-Performance-Short-Throw-Shifter.html And this from Ebay if you didn't mind : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-short-quick-shift-shifter-1-4-1-6-1-8-1998-2004-IB5-/181515722714?hash=item2a432e1fda:g:vdkAAOSwPe1UB5mN Again,sorry. Should've researched before commenting,hope it is of any use to you anyway

[@MangCnasal]

this is the same case with my India Assembled Hyundai Eon, it's god damn hard to find performace parts since it is mainly a mass produced and low cost vehicle. Now I know next time I will buy a Honda so I have limitless mods.

[@ast5515]

+DavisSgt It does feel good, just not as good as it could. Having a short shifter is seriously much better than even the best factory shifters.

[@volticreactor8807]

I respect how he goes step by step and explains im subscribing to this guy

[@EpicBenjo]

Personally, I highly disagree with short throw shifters. I've done it in my S2000 and I hated it. It _looked_ good, but it made it harder to shift and time my heel-and-toe up shifts. When I got my STI, I kept the height at stock and loved how much EASIER it was to shift and time my heel-and-toe rev matching with the shifting. Just my own personal preference.

[@leslie7872]

Bruh.......... Don't s2000 already have a short throw.....

[@monjier]

The reason your Heel-toe up shifts were hard is because you're only supposed to do it on the downshift

[@WMax-rm3ue]

S2000 already have one of the best gearbox...

[@TheObersalzburg]

Thank you for this video. Although I already have short shifted my cars, I thought I'd see what you had to say. Very thorough and spot on. Until one experiences the difference, it's hard to explain.

[@gemaskerdebeuker8511]

take it aut

[@joelhenderson3723]

This seems like a great idea to me. A big part of the reason I decided to buy my MINI Cooper S is that the first time I drove one, I was thrilled by the nice feel of the shifter, and the relatively short and light clutch. My first two vehicles I owned were great for what I needed practically, but they were definitely not drivers' cars (being a '94 5-speed Ranger, and an '06 Prius). So buying a somewhat sporty, but cheaper car, and making the shifting experience great with simple mods is a terrific idea, imo.

I have had it lowered, had the exhaust done, had my sound system hooked up and I've done a couple of visual mods like shift knob, interior lights, and aftermarket rims. It's looking really nice. It's the Dyno Blue Pearl so I have to be careful about putting stuff on it. I want the simple and clean look. I don't want a ton of random stuff all over it. Lol it'd be too much.

Hi Milan. I have a question for you. I just purchased a brand new 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I love the car except that the manual shifting is imprecise. For example, normally when you switch from 2nd to 3rd gear upon acceleration, it goes in naturally without having to position it yourself, but in my case I sometimes do need to position it properly. Is there a way to fix that in your opinion? And do I need for the car warranty to expire before I do this? Thanks :-)
