Oh, and welcome to ModdedMustangs!

that link you posted doesnt work for me. You mean you cant find many choices. There is the MGW, the Hurst billet plus shifter, The frpp hurst shifter, the pro 5.0, the steeda tri ax, and i think roush has one out.

here are a few threads about them on this forum. If you type short throw in the search function you can find more. Just make sure your reading about 2005+ cars

lol thanks, my biggest concern is buying it and not having it fit. it wouldn't let me post a link with my first post which was annoying, then I tried replying but I guess the fourms went down? ill take a look at a few dffrent ones, I plan on buying one either this week or next thanks for the input, is it hard installing it? I can only get the car up about 2-3feet off the floor, that shouldn't be a prob right?

S197 Ford Mustang Shifters - Aftermarket Shifter Survey - 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords Magazine

heres an article from 5.0 magazine that compares shifters by B&M Racing and Performance, Hurst, MGW, and Pro-5.0.

This forum has a how-to sticky. Here's the link you need - scroll down to the MGW install. It's all you need to know for the installation of any s197 shifter.

I have the Hurst Billet and love it.

Fear my knob!

thumperer · October 21st, 2008, 08:52 PM

I didn't know that they had changed the shifter for 08'.

07BlkGT · October 21st, 2008, 08:56 PM

I have the billet also ( mainly because I worship the Zip ) but it is a newer style and I love it. I may say the same thing about the mgw though if I had it. Can't go wrong with either although, as the magazine shows, thre are others that get high marks

TheUNZippee! · October 21st, 2008, 08:58 PM

<---is not worthy

deekum1627 · October 21st, 2008, 11:15 PM

yea the billet hurst is the new one its the better then the other hurst i had it and love it but i had a rattle that i couldnt take so i got the mgw and they both are awsome shifters you can go wrong with either one

icon · October 22nd, 2008, 03:14 AM

everyone i see says get MGW, i didn't know about them till i posted this lol... anyways; the only one i can find for my car is like 300 buckaroos pricey as hell just means i gotta wait for another paycheck :/ lol I'm pretty sure im going to get the mgw though i like how you can keep stock knob if u want

Also it asks for thread size, is that for the shift knob or some unknown thing i don't know about yet

2006greyGT · October 22nd, 2008, 06:38 AM

Zip... you are the KNOB...

MGW FTHFW!!!!!

07stanggt · October 22nd, 2008, 10:06 AM

You can use the stock upper stick and knob with the hurst as well. FYI.

TheDuke · October 22nd, 2008, 10:45 AM

MGW ftw. I also swapped out the knob for the mgw composite race one (Mustang 2005 Composite Race Knob) and it made a huge difference in feel and comfort and I didn't think it was possible to make the shifter better.

icon · October 22nd, 2008, 06:33 PM

ugh, i cant' decide from the mgw and the hurst. i wish i could feel first hand haha

Is the mgw really that much better then the hurst?

07 STROKER · October 22nd, 2008, 06:47 PM

i like that the MGW sets the shifter farther back toward the console making the reach eaiser and keeps your hand away from the radio during the third gear power jam.
