Default Need a little help...

Other then the 03 gt i recently purchased I have never been behind the wheel of another stang. My friend drove it today, and said it feels like the previous owner had a short throw installed. Well, I'm at work and while on break I ran out real quick to take the boot off to get a look, I thought maybe I might see a brand on the shifter itself, but there isnt anything. If anybody might have a picture of the stock shifter so that I might compare the two and find out real quick that would be great.

Here are some pics of the stock shifter. Notice the $hitty Ford repair in the last pic. This is when I bought the car (new) The shifter was leaking and that was fords fix. If pic isn`t clear enough, I can take more. ( Ford quality [&:] )

Short throw will have a nice snappy feel when you throw into gear.......

BTW If you have an '03 GT You have a DSG (Dark Shadow Grey) Metallic...Not a mineral grey metallic

Check out Edmunds http://www.edmunds.com/used/2003/for...17/colors.html

Later bro

Mineral Grey in sig

Yeah, it looks beat because of the leak. I took it to 2 dealers and the dumb asses thought I was full of $hit when I said it had a leak. Neither one could find it. I had to show them myself. ( To make a long story short)..... [&:] I do have to say, It did start to leak again. Thats when the MGW was ordered.
