Default I bought a Camaro...

...shifter handle (sorry, it is April 1st ya know )

Picked up the machined stainless handle MGW offers for the Camaro with the shifter that arrived Fri. Not sure whey they don't officially offer it as an option for the Mustang/GT500 units as it fits the shifter and boot perfectly.

A pic from one of the guys on Team Shelby, who gave me the idea:



For comparison, the jam nut/boot adapter that is the official MGW Mustang offering:

The new transmission install will be in 2-3 weeks. Will be working in the driveway, and want the weather just a little more predictably warm.

Thanks. I'm paranoid about safety too.

Will be using multiple jack stands + 2 jacks in place as backup.

Good. Another good safety tip is to take off 2 wheels and put them under the sides as well. Can't be too safe!

True. I have 4 spare wheels/tires lined up for just that purpose.
