I dont see how that is so.
Most of their ***** are on foreign cars
They also sell adjustments but Ford is not on the list.

I would like one of these but I'm not about to fork over a hundred bucks for a **** that MIGHT fit.

You realize that SAE is pretty much dead and metric is replacing everything?

Case in point. Mazda RX7 has the same thread pitch as a Mustang. Tell you what, I'll try using my buddies **** for a Mazdaspeed 3 tonight on my Mustang, if it fits, which I'm pretty sure it does, any TWM **** works.

How is the fit? The pics are'nt that impressive but you really can't tell from pics lots of times.
Does it fit as good and tight as stock or does it LOOK like a replacement cover?
Post a pic of it on your car if you can!!!!

Stock shifter thread pattern is 12mm x 1.25 mm (fine thread). I found this out after ordering a shift **** from American Muscle, only to find out that my Tri-Ax shifter has a thread pattern of 12mm x 1.75mm (course thread).

The fit is pretty tight. The only thing I don't like is the dummy stitches around spoke. But other than that, it looks pretty good. almost like stock. I think the stitches make it look authentic. it took like 1.5 to 2 hours to sew it on wheel. I will post a pic as soon as I can. Probably in my album pics since I can't post pics yet here. I'll let you know.

Just as I figured, the stock Mustang shifter (checked on my 2010 and his brothers 2008) is the same threading as a Mazda 3 / Mazdaspeed 3.
