I bought my car used. It has some mods but I'm wondering about the shifter. The last car I had with a manual was a 92 T-5. It seems to be a close shift pattern but it is new. Can I tell from the shifter handle? or do I need to look underneth?

I see alot of people have looked. I mean, can I tell by the shifter arm if it is stock?

some times you can tell by the shifter arm but if they used the stock shift **** you wont so you will have to look under the car

Thanks, I took off a stock **** and put on a roush ****. The shaft looks stock, thats why I'm asking. I can just take it down to roush and have them look, just dont want to waste their time. Thankfully my bro fly's for Jack, I just don't get to good of deals. :{
But it does help

if it has an aftermarket shifter, you WILL know by shifting it! if you have ever been in another s197, they havle long oem shifts....(distance)
OP, love the GT!

Pull up the shifter boot trim piece and snap a picture of whats under there and post it. It should just pop right up.

A big ol rubber vibration insulator on the shift arm under the shift boot
is a dead givaway for a stock shifter. You can feel thru the shifter boot
without having to removing the shifter boot.
M12x1.25 threads is also an indicator of a stock S197 shifter.
What threads did the aftermarket shifter **** you put on there have?

not sure of the size threads, but I got a roush and it spun on. I will go out and take a look and a pic. Thanks to All!!

Roush makes shifter ***** with the SAE threads for aftermarket shifters and
***** with the S197 OEM M12x1.25 threads so thats not an indicator....
