OK! I figured there would be a good bit of disassembly required. The instructions look pretty good, and I think I could probably do this without too much worry, possibly except for step 15 "Using the Dremel tool remove material in the marked area to gain access to the spring clip"

Nonetheless I give you guys credit for the time and effort that went in to engineering this and on behalf of the MT community, thank you!

That is where they lost me too, step 15 Remove material with Dremel. LOL.

Looks cool though.

Message sent! The knob is nice, but it makes the assembly too high.

So, driven manuals my whole life but have never installed a short throw shifter. Can anyone give some real world experience with this type of product? Can you ā€˜feelā€™ the difference?

Psyched for this and the knob upgrade. Did you ever sort out the concern about the repetitive logos (4) if both were installed?

ā€¦ but it does require dremeling out the shifter housing to access a clip?

Short throws are common in sports car applications because they provide a faster, more direct and snappy shift experience. Shorter throws feel less sloppy, but you also lose a bit of feeling as to which gear youā€™re in.

I also drive a Focus RS and honestly that shift feels longer than my stock Badlands šŸ˜… I donā€™t see any need to short shift this truck, but if someoneā€™s trying to row through gears quickly then more power to ya!

This is what I was thinking! On my WRX the stock shifter was super long and flimsy feeling so I got Boomba short shifter and it 100% improved the shift feel and made me love driving the car again. With the bronco I think stock throw is perfect in my opinion. Not too long but not racecar short either. I will definitely get their weighted shift knob though as that makes it feel more solid and temperature neutral
