The pedal in the picture is a great option, light but counter balanced, easy to mount on 2 bolts and easy to bend if required, but most importantly the spring assist will reduce our expectations of the throttle body having to pull that long cable when it was designed for a short one. Shut off to tick over is much easier to achieve. Toyota Corolla to thank for this little beauty.

I have a joker gear lever that I don't need anymore if anyone wants one - pm me 1/2 price maybe Hiya jacksdad, My post count is too low for me to PM you at the moment, sorry! I'm assuming that Gear Assembly has gone to Raj'sdad, or someone else, but if not I'd very much like to buy it off you. Does anyone know if there are any other QS options that would fit the 5 speed focus (for a Sonic)? Cheers Jimi

Which gearbox are you using? The mtx75 from the 2.0 or the ib5 from the 1.8?

It's a 1.8, so I'm guessing the ib5?

I'm not aware of any others but an eBay search might help, there are more vehicles out there with the mtx75 box now and it's a gear lever from one of them you need with the ib5 in a rocket. Or vica versa

Thanks! 👍 I'm probably showing my ignorance, but isn't it the mounting for the gear stick that changes the throw length of it, giving the shorter shift, rather than the stick itself?

It's the relative position of the cable attachment and the pivot.
The cable needs to move the same distance so lengthen the distance between attachment and pivot means the angle the lever needs to move through is reduced.

I assumed that in increase the gap between the pivot point and the cable attachment you would need to raise the pivot point.
Does that mean that the linked gear stick would fit on the standard mounting?

Think there's enough clearance already, sorry I don't know the specifics as I've gone the other way, using the mtx75 box with the ib5 lever where the attachment is above the pivot.
