Aftermarket parts for the Fiesta ST

[cainen]

Installed the Mountune short shift kit today that I bought through the group buy MISTA FIESTA organised. BIG pain in the *** to install with virtually no room to move but well worth it in the end. Much shorter throw and a very nice feel to boot.

Any tips? I haven't gotten around to installing mine yet! Been busy at work and trying to study for exams

Be patient :P

You need the skinniest 24mm spanner you can find as there's very little room to move. I used a small shifter that just stretched to 24mm and gripped the top of the pulling tool with multigrips.

It's also a good idea to do it while your car is cold or let it cool down for a fair while as there's a good chance you'll burn yourself.

Haha ok cool. How about getting the bolt up through the bottom? From checking out the shifter arm the other night it seems like that is going to be the hardest part!
