Karlos,
the cable shift is a piece of piss. The fiesta/focus gear stick mechanism lines up with 3 of the holes already, you can drill the 4th or leave it. Then you need to cut a hole in the floor under the dash for the cables to pass through, and then they just clip on. MUCH nicer change than the rod mechanism.
Gary - think we have an IB5 cable and stick don't we?
Std speedo won't work though, as no mechanical cable.
