Default Ideas for a new shift ****?

Do you guys know if the first onewould work on the stock shifter. Also has anybody used one of these? I'm looking for a decently priced good looking shifter so any other opinions would be great for the stock shifter. Thanks a lot.

I have a Monster ****, it's a great ****, if you don't mind not having the shift pattern.

I guess a whole short throw shifter is out of the question?

Haha naa I have long arms so it feels short enough! And I have a lot of "to buys" on my list.

That was my stock one - or it looks almost exactly like it. Using MGW'ssatinshifter w/black ball now. You can have mine & stalk for $50 shipped if you want it.

I have the one from your first link, the Roush retro styled, in black. I really love it, it feels and looks great. Then again I'm always a sucker for old school. I remember a buddy of mine's dad telling us about how his buddies used to take off the stock shifter on their classic muscle cars and replace them with real 8-*****, i suppose you could go that route if you want to be really cost efficient

So then it fits the oem shifter? Did you need to get a new shifter boot for it? If so where did you get it?

It fits the OEM with no new boot. This is a pic from americanmuscle.com (where i bought it) and is exactly how mine looks. Should give you some idea. The kit comes with the **** and that nut you see. That black plastic peice is the one in the factory boot, although i dont remember if it looks that way on the stock shifter. If not, you'll have to pull it out and flip it over.
