Default Re: How To: Install a 2005+ Mustang shift knob in your Focus

Another great write up with pics; you are good.

Some people don't realize the value of good ergonomics; having the shift lever immediately at hand (and without having to take your shoulder off of the seatback) can result in quicker, smoother shifts with better car control.

Most yell for a shortened lever, then have to reach for it; it's far better to have that shiftknob right next to the steering wheel. A short-throw shift quadrant (short throw shifter) works really well with a long shift levers; a shortened lever coupled to a short throw shifter results in poor shift feel and potential problems. How many threads have there been about that one?

Look into a race car interior and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Time to start a new trend, boyz, and R-code's the man to emulate...
