hey guys i just bought a 05+ mustang shift **** on ebacy because i thought it would match the interior on the tc really good. i havent gotten it in yet but i was wondering if anyone else on here has one?

if so does it sit higher then stock?
is a screw in type?
does the stock boot fit?
how does the colors match?

thanks

 

There are already a few people that have had it. Look in the shift **** thread.

 

thanks but im looking for a bit of input which i doubt ill get from looking at pics

 

i have it.. its about the same size as the stock shift ****.. u have to cut this little plastic circle off the bottom of the mustang **** (ull understand when u get hte ****).. it fits pretty nicely with teh stock shift boot.. colors match pretty well..

cheers

 

^^ oh yeha.. i got a short shifter now sooo... yeahh.. come to think of it.. it did sit a bit higher then the stock knobl.. hahaha... ill try to get u some pics of it witht he megan short shifter

 

alright man thanks that be great... if it does sit a bit higher im not worried. im gonna be getting a doc-i short throw shifter anyways .. im just not sure how much of a drop i should get.

thanks again

 

hahaha when i first got it i was like "$#%@$^ now i have to get short shifter..." but instead of spending the money on one i just cut it down like 1.5in and re threaded the shaft.....works perfectly. the only thing i regret is cutting the "knotch" below the ****....when you get yours just take off the chrome piece and slide teh boot over the piece that the mustang **** has...thats what its for....it will look 10x better...if you do decide to cut it, you will have a chrome and aluminum ring together...but heres mine....it matches the waterfall perfectly

 

when you cut it down 1.5" was it sitting at the same height as stock or was it lower?

my goal is to have the **** be about 1" lower then the stock one so im not sure what shifter height i should get yet

thanks

 

yea you could definantly tell that it was shorter. you feel the difference too....you dont even get that feeling of having to reach out to shift...its just there...its perfect

 

It's a 2" height reduction, also I didn't us the oem collar, I just pulled the boot up over the collar piece on the **** and zip tied it from underneath to keep the boot from slipping off the ****.

 

see ....that **** looks clean!!!! dont cut off the collar it comes with!!!!

cavalierkid did you just cut it too or did you get a shortshifter?

 

i never knew people had this.... i must have never seen this on a tC... looks good.

 

wow looks like its a perfect match color wise cant wait to get mine in... i think im gonna order a 1.5" reduction on my shifter you think that would be good for this ****?

 

forgot to ask how does the **** feel compared to stock, do you like it better or not?

 

if so does it sit higher then stock? sits about the same

is a screw in type? yes

does the stock boot fit? if you have sotkc shifter you can stretch the boot to fit but it usually pops off when shifting gears, get a short shifter with a height reduction and itll fit fine. (i have 2" reduction)

how does the colors match? good

 

it feels pretty much the same.
ive slipped gears a couple times cuz of it though.
the sides are like leather but the top is a kind of plastics and gets slippery if your palms are sweating.

 

Back from the dead!!!

I just ordered my shift **** :D
