shifter handle

rliberte · December 27th, 2008, 04:25 PM

me and one of my buddies were putting back together his focus and wrking on my mustang at the same time. wut i was trying to do was one change the shift handle (automatic) but couldnt figure out how to take it off. We were going to see if we could cut the shifter to give it a short shifter look as well. Help on either on of these questions would be helpful its a 2001.

Do you want to take the entire shifter out? or just the grip thingy on top?

rliberte · December 27th, 2008, 05:01 PM

just the grip for now im hoping we dont have to take out the whole thing to try and shorten it

04mustang232 · December 27th, 2008, 05:05 PM

Hacksaw + duct tape = short throw auto shifter.

Na, but seriously i havent a clue. I assume the top part can come off, i havent a clue how though.

i know somebody has asked the question before do u think it would be shown in a Haynes Repair Manual or do the only wrk on manual transmissions in there

tru dat.

I have a hanes manual for New edges at my house. I could look it up for you if you dont have one.

I am not 100% on this, but i think that you can't just cut it. there should be a link or line of some kind that will let you take it in and out of gear (the button you have to push to get out of N). I think if you cut it you can mess it up. Call or go to a Ford dealer and ask them for a print out of the shop manual (CD for your year) on how to take the auto shifter out. My Ford dealer does this for me all the time when I need specs for stuff.

this is true also you have to worry about mounting the O/D i tried this idea once i tried to put a manual shift knob on my car and failed horribly . go with the shift kit from B&M itll improve driving and itll be alot of fun and it also looks like the hurst showthrow shifter , just be lucky you new edge guys get the oppurtunity for one

04mustang232 · December 27th, 2008, 07:13 PM

lol, i was joking about cutting it

GreenFaleen · December 27th, 2008, 07:51 PM

there are screws on the backside

rliberte · December 27th, 2008, 08:05 PM

ok well u guys helped with the shortening but wut about the grip or do i just replace the whole shifter????

GreenFaleen · December 27th, 2008, 08:10 PM

i would get a B&M hammer, but to get the grip off there are screws

rliberte · December 27th, 2008, 08:19 PM

ive only seen one screw and i got that out i had to get to it through that little hole on the front side were are the other ones

rliberte · December 28th, 2008, 03:59 PM

04mustang232 · December 28th, 2008, 04:06 PM

rliberte · December 28th, 2008, 04:26 PM
