Short-Throw Shift Upgrade Package for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST and 2016-2018 Focus RS
The is the Stage 1+ Drivetrain Package for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST and 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS with a white COBB Knob and black base, combining an adjustable short-throw shift plate, reinforced shifter cable bracket bushings, shifter cable bushings, and the weighted COBB Knob into a single package that transforms the feel of the Focus ST and RS manual gearbox.
The COBBFOR0DT00EI-W-BK package reduces shifter throw by 20%, 30%, or 40% depending on the shift plate adjustment position, and firms up the shifter cable interface to reduce the vague, rubbery feel of the factory shifter linkage. The weighted COBB Knob in the white with black base color combination adds tactile feedback and a purposeful look to the interior shift console of the Focus ST and RS without requiring any ECU calibration or emissions-related modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK Stage 1+ Drivetrain Package?
The COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK is the Stage 1+ Drivetrain Package for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST and 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS, combining an adjustable short-throw shift plate, shifter cable bracket bushings, shifter cable bushings, and a white with black base COBB weighted shift knob. The COBBFOR0DT00EI-W-BK package improves shift feel and reduces shifter throw by up to 40% with no ECU tuning or emissions modifications required.
What is the difference between the COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK and the base FOR0DT00EI package?
The base COBB FOR0DT00EI package is available in multiple knob color combinations. The FOR0DT00EI-W-BK variant specifies the white COBB Knob with a black base. All variants include the same adjustable shift plate, cable bracket bushings, cable bushings, and COBB Knob; the only difference is the knob finish and base color selected.
How much throw reduction does the COBB shift plate provide on the Focus ST and RS?
The COBB adjustable shift plate in the FOR0DT00EI-W-BK package provides selectable 20%, 30%, or 40% throw reduction for the Focus ST and RS manual gearbox. The shift plate has multiple adjustment positions that can be changed after installation if you want to modify the throw preference without removing the entire assembly.
Does the COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK require ECU tuning on the Focus ST or RS?
No. The COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK Drivetrain Package is a mechanical drivetrain upgrade that requires no ECU calibration or software changes. It is not an emissions-related part and can be legally installed on emission-controlled vehicles. No COBB AccessPORT or tuning software is required alongside the FOR0DT00EI-W-BK.
Does the COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK fit all trim levels of the 2013-2018 Focus ST?
Yes. The COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK fits all trim levels of the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST and all trim levels of the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS in USDM, CHDM, and EDM configurations, as the shifter cable bracket and cable design is consistent across trim levels on these platforms.
How is the COBB shift plate installed on the Focus ST or RS?
The COBB shift plate in the FOR0DT00EI-W-BK package installs in the factory shifter cable bracket location under the center console. The cable bushings are pressed into the factory cable ends and bracket. Installation requires removing the center console trim panel to access the shifter cable bracket, and is typically completed in 1 to 2 hours with basic hand tools. COBB provides a detailed installation guide included with the package.
Is the COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK compatible with the Focus ST with a COBB AccessPORT installed?
Yes. The COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK drivetrain package is fully compatible with Focus ST and RS vehicles running COBB AccessPORT software or any other ECU management. As a mechanical drivetrain upgrade, it does not interact with the ECU or any electronic systems, so it can be run alongside any tune or AccessPORT map without conflict.
Is the COBB FOR0DT00EI-W-BK covered by a warranty?
COBB Tuning products are backed by COBB's standard manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms are available directly through COBB Tuning at cobbtuning.com. Damage from improper installation or modification beyond the intended application is not covered under the manufacturer warranty.
