I didn't use that shifter (I liked my Tri Ax), but I'm 6'3' and my knees weren't in the dash. Move your seat back.

^^^^ and I'm sure you never had to reach to put in 3rd?? Just not used to shifter being so far away. Guess I'll deal with it.

I'll pull boot off today and find out what ****er I have, thanks the infomative answer. Non mustang driver.

No, I never had to reach to put it into third gear, the shifter handle is angled. Maybe your shifter has a generic handle on it. Like you said, take the shifter bezel off and take a look.
Thank you Mustang driver with 10 posts for telling me how you're going to take care of your problem. I only wish I had your extensive experience with Mustangs, not the ten years of owning and the years of working at Ford as a mechanic.
