For those of you guys there that have done the T-5 conversions to your stangs, I'm curious to know, which type of shifter did you end up going with??

looks stockish. looks like it has a reverse gear lock, but it hasn't.

I like the way yours looks. I had a hurst shifter in my only 69, I think I'm lookin into getting a hurst but I heard their pretty expensive

I also have one of the T5 shifters that resembles an old 4 speed shifter but bolts to the T5. It also has the 5 speed pattern on the ****. I like it.

Bought a machined shift handle off ebay and my son found this **** at the Good Guys car show.


kind of old school cool...

Not a very good picture but it fits in the palm of your hand

Shifter, or shift handle?

For a shift handle, the OE looking handles look pretty good, IMO. You can also get a trick remote shifter handle from Mustangs Plus, which is what I'm looking at when I swap to a 5sp.

In any case, I'd recommend an aftermarket shifter with any T5. T5's don't have internal shift stops, so overshifting can bend a shift fork. Aftermarket shifters come with adjustable stops to fix this problem. Not to mention, the stock shifter feels rather rubbery and vague in comparison to a Pro 5.0 or Steeda Tri-Ax.

I built my own shift handle and stuck it on the tri ax
Works good!

Im a big fan of hidden treasures. Id prefer the stock shifter handle on top with a stock 3 speed ball lol.

I'm running a B&M Ripper Shifter with a Hurst stick and ball.

I have a Steeda Tri Ax I'm fixing to put on my TKO. The biggest problem with shifters in our old Stangs is reaching them. You either have to come up with your own handle(I modified a Hurst handle and then made bushings to adapt it to the Tri Ax) or get the remote shifter deal from M+, which I'm also looking at doing at some point.

Or you have to be 7 feet tall with orangutan arms.
