Description

The James Barone Racing Short Throw Shifter is engineered as an advanced upgrade for the 2013 and up Ford Focus ST, offering a significant improvement in shifting precision and feel. This shifter allows drivers to customize their experience by reducing gear throws by 10%, 20%, or even 30%, and features a lower overall height of 1.25 inches compared to the factory unit. Constructed from durable 6061 aluminum and steel, the JBR shifter precisely matches the weight of the stock shifter, providing a crisp and connected feel. For those who prefer a smoother, less effort-intensive shift, an optional 1/4 lb. counterweight can be added. Further customization is possible with the JBR Short Shift Arm, which can reduce throw by an additional 59%. It retains the essential reverse lock-out functionality. The shifter is compatible with JBR's heavy shift knobs and any aftermarket knob with a 12 x 1.25 thread pitch, provided it is counter-bored to clear the reverse lock-out mechanism. Key features include a durable anodized and nickel-plated finish for longevity and aesthetics. The kit comes complete with the short shifter, a 1/4 lb. counterweight, an RLO clip, and stainless steel hardware. Installation instructions are available, and the product includes a hassle-free lifetime warranty.
