So I took a chance and bought a short shifter made for an 01-06 Mondeo online, and today I installed it in my 04 X type. Fits like it was made for it and really makes a difference! A well made shifter too. I haven't taken any pics or anything, I could though. The instructions that came with it are spot on so I didn't take any pics during the install. here's a link to the one I bought, Racing Short Shifter Ford Focus Contour Mondeo Free Knob 01 06 Strong Shaft 1 | eBay

I figured someone would be happy to know it works. The only issue I have with it is that the shift knob sits lower now, but my stock shifter felt, loose, and now it feels more tight and, mechanical, I guess you could say. I have noticed I can put it into reverse without pulling up on the lockout though. I may have put the block in wrong though.

I could care less how it looks, it feels much nicer to shift. The throw is shorter and the shifter itself feels more solid. haha...this odds works with you're pun about a mans gentlemen's region ha. You can always get various sized extensions for the shift rod that would raise the height of the shift knob if you prefer a higher knob location but still get the shorter throws and more solid feel.
