The mountune cast Short-Shift Arm for the Mk8 Fiesta ST, Puma ST and Focus ST Line 1.5-litre is a complete replacement for the OE shift arm located on the gearbox.
Shifter throw is reduced by 25%, allowing quick and more precise gear changes, whilst the carefully re-profiled and placement of the material mass ensures gearshifts are actually vastly improved over OE; shorter changes come as standard, without sacrificing any shift engagement or feel.
Features:
Technical:
A shorter, crisper shifter throw provides a positive driving experience with the Mk8 Fiesta and Puma ST. After considerable evaluation and input, mountune engineers determined the optimum throw reduction for the Fiesta ST, Puma ST and Focus ST Line shifter to be at 25%.
This amount allows an enhanced driving experience, whilst maintaining an OE quality and feel, with minimal stress on the OE shift cables and components.
United KingdomI never thought the standard gear change was bad so I resisted changing it despite the apparently glowing reports on Mountune’s website. However, I am so glad I did: it makes changes much nicer without any penalty such as a heavier shift (which you might expect; otherwise why doesn’t Ford fit them?). The only thing is the fitting. I’m reasonably competent “under the bonnet” but I wouldn’t say that fitting the short shift arm was especially easy. I fell at the first hurdle. Removing the air intake pipe, I couldn’t release the tab underneath (which you can’t see) and ended up breaking it annoyingly. Luckily, it isn’t essential; the pipe is perfectly well located on the crash panel. Then the roll pin is a little rotter to get out even with the drift supplied. I honestly nearly gave up. But I gave myself a good talking to and persisted. That’s what you need to do. There is nothing inherently difficult about the job - I just haven’t ever done it before. Well done Mountune. A lovely bit of kit and not expensive.
HungaryGreat product, the shift is now as it should have been as stock. I am a little bit disappointed however as I wanted even shorter gearshift travel, something more extreme. Should not complain tho as it works perfect.
ItalyUpgrade ottimo. Cambiata migliorata, anche gli innesti.
