COBB ADJUSTABLE SHIFT PLATE / SHORT SHIFT INSTALL! | FOCUS RS SHIFTER PART 1

I install the COBB Adjustable Shift Plate aka quick shift for Ford Focus RS!

Made from 6061 T6 Anodized Aluminum Black with Laser Etched COBB logo, it is very light weight, strong and really looks cool!

This mod from COBB shortens the gear shift throw by 20%, 30% or a massive 40%, depending on what YOU wish to set it to! It also makes the shift feel more positive which is pretty cool!

Other options on the market include copies of the V1 of the COBB shift plate (this is the new and improved version that features more throw length shortening options as well as better overall shape) and full shift arm replacements such as the Mountune shift arm which gives a fixed throw shortening of 25%.

The major downside of the other options out there that change the full shift arm is that the roll pin that holds the shift arm on has to be removed and then re-inserted to secure the new shift arm. This process can be very time consuming and tricky using a drift tool and hammer. There is also the danger of dropping the roll pin and/or damaging it making it difficult or impossible to get in or out which would leave you potentially off the road until a replacement is sought.

The COBB adjustable shift plate / quick shift / short shift does not suffer from any of these potential issues as it is a bolt on solution, bolting onto the stock shift arm!

A shorter throw allows for quicker, more precise gear changes, enhancing the overall driving experience!

The installation is pretty easy and fast to get done and comes with some handy accessories in the box, including the 2 sized Allen keys / wrenches needed as well as a little tube of thread locker blue for the bolts/screws (some boxes will have Loctite and some will have Vibra Tite but they do the same job!)

Returning to stock (if you should want or need to) is just as quick and easy as the install is as well!

Check out how to install the part, from start to finish beginning with removing the air box to get access all the way through the install and resetting the neutral position to take into account on the change in distance that the shift cable moves!

I chose to go with the 30% throw reduction because it is a little more than the like of Mountune but not as much as 40% which could potentially be a bit much in terms of feel and shift cable strain. Of course, it would be easy to go back in and select a different setting in the future if desired!
