Awesome! I sent you a private message regarding the bracket.
A few days or so after installing my shifter I got some crazy loud buzzing at certain RPMs. It took me pretty much my entire hour-long commute to figure out that it was just the shift knob. It didn't actually feel loose, but eventually it began unscrewing itself on the way home... I had initially installed it with a drop or two of blue Permatex threadlocker, which obviously wasn't enough. Second time I went all the way around. Unfortunately, the Steeda knob only spins on 4 rotations on their shifter until it prevents you from shifting into reverse.
Thanks for that info! That's really good to know.A few days or so after installing my shifter I got some crazy loud buzzing at certain RPMs. It took me pretty much my entire hour-long commute to figure out that it was just the shift knob.

Now, I'm wanting to ditch the Steeda knob and get one of the weighted knobs in this thread... Thanks guys!
An upgraded shift knob is definitely coming up soon! The guys on this thread convinced me that a weighted one is the way to go.I had a 2019 6MT Ecoboost Premium. I liked it just fine, except the clutch release point needed to be moved up a bit (so only slight clutch depressing is needed to shift). A nice old fashioned shift knob would help. Moving to a GT is what you really need (like I did).
Good fit then.
Nah it improved in my opinion, I like the notchiness, feels satisfying going through gear but if you just want a good improved upgrade and keep the soft shifter then just do the bracket and not a short shifter, i feel the transmounted shifters will get even more notchy because there all solid linked together
Thanks for dropping this info+graphic here. I'm sure this'll come in handy.Good fit then.
Let me add, I had to use this method, so I can remove the knob when needed without destroying it. The first knob I installed I used bunch of Blue locktite stick and when I had to remove it, the threaded aluminum core (frozen to the shifter) came off the resin knob rendering it unfit for reuse.
Nice! That's reassuring.
Swap out the clutch line? This is the first I've heard of that. What differences did you notice?
I actually reached out to Barton about a shifter unit for the Ecoboost models and they said that they do actually make one. I've quoted them below.
The plastic line from the clutch master to the trans will start to flex / expand when heated up......especially at the track. When I removed mine I could take both thumbs and compress the line some. Think about your brake fluid which is also clutch fluid..... after extended periods of hard braking at the track it's 300 degrees easy, probably hotter. First track day I had I boiled the brake fluid on the stock brakes, stock fluid is rated at 400 I think. I also ran into shift lockout in 2nd and 3rd to the point I had to hold the clutch in for 1-2 seconds before attempting to shift. Installed a trans mount shifter bracket, braided clutch line, gt350 front calipers & pads, DOT 5.1 fluid. Next track day no fade on the brakes and the shift lockout was much better.
