Cobb 13-18 Ford Focus ST / 16-18 Focus RS Adjustable Shift Plate

Part Details:

The COBB adjustable shift plate is designed for 2013–2018 Ford Focus ST and 2016–2018 Focus RS models equipped with a manual transmission. It replaces the factory shift plate to provide adjustable reduction in shift throw, resulting in quicker and more direct gear changes.

The adjustable design allows drivers to select different throw reduction settings based on preference without modifying internal transmission components. By altering the mechanical leverage of the shifter linkage, the shift plate improves shift speed and consistency while maintaining predictable engagement.

Constructed from durable materials and engineered for proper fitment, this shift plate is suitable for daily-driven vehicles as well as performance-oriented applications. It is compatible with stock and aftermarket shifter components.
