Cobb 13-18 Ford Focus ST / 16-18 Ford Focus RS Shifter Cable Bushings

Part Details:

The COBB shifter cable bushings are designed for 2013–2018 Ford Focus ST and 2016–2018 Ford Focus RS models equipped with a manual transmission. They replace the factory rubber bushings in the shifter cable ends to reduce excess movement and improve shift precision.

By limiting compliance in the shifter cables, these bushings provide more direct and consistent gear engagement, particularly during aggressive or high-load shifting. The upgrade improves shift feel and feedback without altering shifter geometry or increasing shift effort significantly.

These shifter cable bushings are intended as a simple bolt-on upgrade and are compatible with both stock and aftermarket shifters. They are suitable for daily-driven vehicles as well as performance-oriented applications where improved shift consistency is desired.

• Maintains factory shifter geometry
• Compatible with stock and aftermarket shifters

Vehicle Fitment

• 2013–2018 Ford Focus ST (manual transmission)
• 2016–2018 Ford Focus RS (manual transmission)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What do shifter cable bushings improve?
They reduce flex in the shifter cables, resulting in more precise and consistent gear engagement.

Will these change shift throw length?
No. Shifter cable bushings improve feel and precision without altering shift throw or shifter geometry.

Are these suitable for daily driving?
Yes. The upgrade maintains normal drivability while improving shift feedback.

Does installation require additional modifications?
No. These bushings install directly in place of the factory shifter cable bushings.
