Apparently I have an eBay STS and I have Oscar's old 07 Focus stock shift knob on it. Works great.

yes!!sts is here!!

when idling and when i am on 2nd or 3rd gear on low speed trying to accelerates, i hear chattering.. it is not loud but very noticable..
do you guys think one of motor mounts are going bad? or am i lucky to have lightweight flywheel(probably not)?

IF the noise goes away when you depress the clutch it's the throw-out bearing (clutch release bearing) ... it can be noisy like that for a long time before it becomes a problem.

Typically this is nothing to worry about - replace it next time you do the clutch ... and then wait three months for the noise to come back LOL.

Mine does that for about 2-3 years now , but works fine .

i c.....


anyway, put sts in and love it!!perfect height for my driving position.

uhhh this plate thing, can i remove it or do i have to have one in there??
seeems like this plate is pushing down so hard, when i shift from N to 1, it is a bit hard to shift compare to stock.
i can move from 2-3-4-5-R easy..
