so i ordered this shfiter off ebay, it said 02 focus shifter, now, when did they switch to the 03 shifter exactly, because there was a major difference of i am correct?
anyways, i had broke mine as some of you know, so i needed a quick fix asap, i purchased the shifter and base. it gets here and when i go to install it...OOPS!
the stock shifter has a pivot point in the middle of the shifter, and the spot where the cable attaches is below said pivot point. so when i move the shifter into first it operates as it should.
this shifter has the linkage connected above the pivot point, which means, when i push the shifter forward, say, to go into 1st, the cable goes forward...putting me into second......
so basically
stock is like this, the new one is like this
135 24R
24R 135
