IB5 gear box

[rnnicol]

Hi folks,
Time to ask the experts. I came across an old article in fast Ford around 2012, with regards to a short shift arm from mountune for the IB5 gearbox, the article was on a mk7 fiesta zetec s, am I wrong in thinking the puma has a IB5 gearbox also, so do you think this would fit in the puma ? It's around £165, so it's an expensive experiment if it does not work. What do you think.

The Fiesta has a cable operated gear change so I don't think it'd fit a Puma

As above and also the puma is considered a short shift , I know a lot of people upgrading to puma gear linkage in mk2 fiestas as a cheaper alternative to the short shift kits

Ok, thanks, that puts that one to bed. Thanks again

I think it's kinda true. When I visited my family and drove my old Mit. Colt again, shifting gap felt more like paddling in a boat.

or you can just cut more form the rod and make a new thread on it that will be hella short

my dad was applying this mod to the old Dacia 1300 he used to have... look at this:

this is the original that's not a boat paddling... that is a discus throw...
