You want the spacers I made for my OEM shifter? I spaced it up off the floor 1.5in. Made the car more pleasant to drive. I don't think anyone else is interested in them.

Alright so a Nov 2025 update:

So far I installed the following:

Swave front and rear strut braces
Whoosh hot and cold side charge pipes
Afe dry mesh air filter
Whoosh silicon intake tube
Whoosh crossover pipe
Whoosh shifter bushings both ends
Whoosh short throw shifter block
Sparco rear tow strap
TB torsion beam bar

And i flushed the brake fluid with Motul 600

I have a ton of other parts coming in and more in my liviing room, im waiting to get on my friends lift to knock it all out.

I'm guessing you are in the general Hillsdale/far eastern upstate area?

Ive made a thread in the build log section, figured it would be more applicable and itll keep me organized.

I don't know that the US Fiesta spec applies to the UK cars. Ya'll got a lot more options and such compared to us.

Got a how to, or post about these? Id love a little taller shifter in my car. Instead of rolling my own from scratch, I'd rather copy yours!

Got a Lathe? These were 1,5-1.625 tall hex with a hole in each end. Both threaded. You can't go much higher without getting into the console.

Actually yes I do! I can take care of that! Thanks
My brother. HAHA. Get some 6061 hex, cuz its easier than machining your own hex. .750 or 1.00 is fine. Tap both ends for M6x1.00 The chassis side will thread onto the OEM studs on the tunnel and you need to turn a small shoulder to fit inside the shifter base. You are doing away with the rubber shifter bushings. Then use some M6 bolts and washers to hold it all down. Mine are 1.650 tall tunnel to the base of the shifter. I am too lazy to pull a bolt to see what I did on the "bushing elimination" shoulder, but you can figure it out. You could probably 3D print these as well.

So, we're going aluminum. And the cnc already has an m6 tap in it....

I really appreciate the information! Made my life easier. And the taller shifter will be very nice to reach for on track. Shorten time off wheel. Loved that in my acr neon.

I think you are going to be a very good bad influence on me!!!

Don't expect a miracle. Its 1.6in taller, not Coolerwerx height. Coolerwerx is much better as its closer to the wheel by a LOT compared to the elevated stock shifter.
Cheap is cheap. Better is better. I may still have to explore the more expensive options later, but with it being a challenge car first, we're going for cheap and free to begin with. Or, the most important money in the most important places.

You will need to reroute your shift cables above the brace for the dash board. That is the drawback to spacing up the OEM shifter. You are limited by how high you can bend the OEM cables upwards to meet the shifter.
