Also make sure you get a good working unit the first time. My first TCI shifter had this gear hanging issues going from 3rd to 2nd. It also stuck on "P" one day, and had to be removed, and sent to TCI for a replacement. My second one has been working flawlessly; hasn't gotten stuck on P yet, thankfully.

And my case was not an isolated event. I've read on different forums of the same stuck P issues happening to a few people.

Scott's ride is a beast...one of my favorites on the MF.
Interior looks good bro!

Thanks, your feedback is greatly appreciated!
Big changes over the winter as I am gathering the pieces for a Ford Racing Aluminator build. Almost have all of the parts and it will soon be time to get my hands dirty. All the components for the build are outlined in my Future Modifications section in my Garage.

I was going to install my new shifter the other day and took it out of the box. My Girlfriends kid was going to "help" out. He grabbed the shifter and started playing around with it when I wasn't looking and some how was able to move it to Park. Is there any way to move it back to D for the install?

I didn't end up even trying to install it without some advice. I emailed TCI but with the holidays and all I am sure they are running on a skeleton crew. I thought I might be able to bolt it in depress the brake and then be able to move it to D and then finish the install just don't want to start something I can't finish.

If you plug the wiring harness into the tci shifter it will enable you to press the brake and take it out of park during the install. No biggie, now get busy!

Scott..........your all gauged up there! Nice setup dude.
Thanks, Auto Meter NEXUS Series Gauges - Vacuum/Boost, Wide Band Air/Fuel Ratio, Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, Coolant Temperature and Transmission Temperature in SOS Pods. And an AeroForce Single Scan Gauge for monitoring IAT and Fuel Pump Duty Cycle in a Roush Vent Pod. The Nexus gauges are really neat (but not cheap) as the wiring is simply done in a daisy-chain from gauge to gauge.

Ran into a couple of problems that made it take longer than it should have but worked through them logically and everything worked out.

Just my humble opinion here but I don't see where you guys think this shifter looks better than the OEM one. This one looks really out of place where the OEM one looked perfect but as long as you like it OP that's all that matters.
