I have just obtained a used B&M shortshift to fit to my Fiesta Si, I have the gearshift and knob plus some type of collar.

I seen a picture of a new B&M kit on google images, as well as the parts I have it includes 3 short bolts, 3 longer bolts, 4 washers and what looks like a couple of rubber rings or possibly circlips.

I was hoping that somone could let me know where I can get the parts I seem to be missing plus the fitting instructions that come with the new kit.

All help and advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Andrew

Have you got a photo of yours from the bottom? If its second hand possibly have all the bits as its all ready put together. I would think when you take standard gear leaver apart it will be self explanatory as It's very basic looks like a case of remove the two torque bolts from bottom to release the self centering springs, unbolt the top of the standard unit and replace with the b&m one refit the self centering bolts. Also worth looking at the linkage at the gearbox end as if this is sloppy will spoil the feel of the short shift

what sort of advantages does shortshift give you over standard? and what are the cons?

Quicker and shorter shift, less effort too. The mk3 gearstick has fuck loads of travel, making that shorter will make life easier because there is less effort.

No cons tbh.

Search it either on here or FT, all the info is around somewhere. Its basically a short shift on the cheap. MK5's and pumas have quite short shifts, so people swap mk3 for puma linkages.
