How do I find a Gear Shift?

I just got a 2000 Ford Focus, and it's about the cutest little thing that I wanted. However, the gear shift is broken. I'm not sure if it is actually called a gear shift, it's what's underneath the gear shift not the thing that I change gears with. It's cracked and isn't in the best condition. I really want to get it fixed but I don't even know what it's technically called! If anyone could help that would be amazing!

1 - What is the technical name for it?

2 - Where can I find a new one?

3 - What should I expect to pay.How do I find a Gear Shift?

Hope this link will help you, But if you have any trouble locating the name, go to the Ford Parts Department and look at their Screen on their computer and get a part number and picture, this will help you locate and have a idea on the price you are going to spend.

Having been in the industry many years, there are names created by the manufacture to misinform the ID of a part. So even when the item is longer available from the dealership at times, they can guide you were to go. Junk Yard, E-Bay, Ford Forum, Another Dealership, or special order from the factory.

Many times it is cheaper if you can buy at the Dealership, for you know the part will be the correct one, has a warranty, will fit, and meets all safety requirements. Good Luck
maybe you are referring to the synchros.



don't have an answer for the second one.



third one...alot



Good luck!
The linkage is internal and if that be the problem, you will need the services of a transmission shop. Possible broken shifter fork. Good Luck. If really bad, consider a used transmission from a salvage company. Start at $250.00 and go up from there.
