INSTALLATION GUIDE | INSTALLATION VIDEO
Combo includes short throw shifter AND weight shift knob!
This short shift lever is built for performance without compromising comfort. It installs easily, replacing the OEM shift lever on your '20+ KIA Forte GT 6MT with no modifications required to the surrounding console. The re-engineered lever reduces shift travel by 30%, giving you a shorter and more crisp shifting experience as you row through the gears. The shifter is also positioned closer to the driver by half an inch, putting the shift knob in a much more comfortable position, all while retaining full functionality of the reverse lockout.
Shift lever is threaded for M10x1.25. and includes the Boomba Racing weighted shift knob
Weighted shift knobs feature a 270g precision CNC machined brass core for added weight as well as a delrin shell for durability, excellent appearance and ‘temperature management’. A heavier shift knob puts the weight towards the end of the shift lever. This increased momentum while shifting gives you a greater mechanical advantage, allowing for a much more positive feeling throw when rowing through the gears. The delrin shell with laser-etched Boomba logo prevents the surface of the shift knob from getting too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. These shift knobs make a great addition to your Veloster interior!
Combine with the Boomba Racing Transmission Adapter for maximum reduction!
The shifter and collar itself is designed & manufactured in Boomba's facility, right here in the U.S. and all mounting hardware are included. All shift levers are precision CNC machined black oxide billet steel, anodized billet aluminum and high quality delrin for maximum strength and durability. A definite mod for daily drivers as well as autocross and road racing enthusiast!
Also compatible with Forte FE 6MT & 19-'20 Elantra GT N-Line 6MT

Shifter
Car drives great with the Boomba shifter. Going into reverse is really close to the bezel around the shifter and I had some issue with the shifter not centering back to the middle when I mocked it together, other videos on the internet show the issue. I had to wet sand the pivot ball on the shifter and sand a little of the boot it sits in. Other than that, it’s a game changer for the feel for the car.

Pure wow
Just the best ever feeling short shifter. Feels so good to shift again.

This...completes the Forte GT 6MT
Overall install took 4 hours. Knob itself feels so much better than stock. Shifts are much crisper and satisfying. It tightens up the feel of the car to complement the fairly decent OEM sport suspension. Now the whole car feels satisfyingly tight at the wheel and the shifter. Worth every penny. Thank you so much Boomba. Make sure to upgrade the shifter assembly bushings while you are at it, they compliment perfectly. I was amazed how much the bushings and this shifter kit changed the car 180 degrees. Zoom!

Better than ever
My old shifter had a rattle that wouldn't go away and the dealer was unable to fix it , that's gone. And now I have a very comfortable shifter. Very smooth with a good throw.

Great Shift Kit!
Super easy install and the throws are more precise. I like that it moves the shifter closer to the center console too, my elbow just missed the arm rest before. Great install video. Keep up the great work Boomba!

Forte GT Short Shifter
I had a lot of issues with my OEM shifter. It rattled, it vibrated and it was too light and hollow feeling. Not only that, but the fact that it is all one piece and doesn't have a threaded knob is a real inconvenience. The Boomba short shifter was a lengthy, but fairly easy install and it solved all of my issues. The weighted shift knob, as with the one I had in my Focus ST, feels incredible, along with the shorter lever. This is a must-have modification for the Forte GT.

Wait was worth it!
The feel and throws with the short shifter paired with the shift adapter boomba offers is absolutely amazing! Myself and others in the community have been waiting for this product for what seems like ages and it definitely did not disappoint!
