So my shifter linkage arm broke the other day and i had a new one sent to me. well i went to install it today and its the wrong one? Its a ford part and bolts in the same but mine has a curve and the new one is straight. Could it be from a GT500? I cant figure it out...

 

Nate,

Hmmm.......Not cool.....I can tell you that the one that MGW sent you, the black squarish looking one, looks just like the one on my car....Mine is an 05. Did that piece maybe change according to year????


Sorry man,
Mike

 

thats really sucks man, mine is the curved one

 

the curved end goes to the tranny right if so thats the one i have

 

yah curved end goes to the tranny, i donno

 

I'm definitely thinking that ford changed these along the way......
Can you take em both to a local machine shop and have them pull the broken stud out of your existing shift arm, and replace it with the one from the other arm???

 

I believe the V6 one is straight...
Could it be that they sent you that one instead?

 

yup thats what i have what yr is your car, i think you should try to get the studs switched is that possible

 

pretty sure mine is straight... i'll have to check it out next time i'm under there. they either changed it after 06 or you got a V6 one.

 

ok, i think its a V6. i just saw another guys car in person thats an 05GT and his is just like mine. I just got back from a 2hr round trip to pick one up from a guy so i am back in business. huge headache but i am getting closer. i think the straight one is a v6
