I recently installed my Pro5.0 shifter and now my shifter is offset to the drivers side and is VERY hard to get into fifth. Not sure how to fix it

The only thing you can do is mess with the washers. what did i come with like 7 or 8 washers? Mine was like that and I messed with it some, never got it that good. 5th and reverse were always somewhat akward. the guy that bought it from has it much better then i was able to get it.

Contact Pro5.0 they will send you an offset bushing to correct the fifth & reverse shift. Don't know why but not all cars are affected by this.

well it only came with two copper bushings and i put em in. they said the large one goes on the drivers side and the other on the opposite side of the linkage

oh they have changed it then. mine came with 7 or 8 washers.

yeah only two bushings. i was thinkin of swappin thw bushings

 

[07stanggt]

that seems like it would make it worse if the larger one is already on the driver side. i would think what you need is more space on the driver side of the linkage becuase that is the direction the linkage is going when you push the shifter towards 5th and reverse. You know? another washer on that side would give you more leverage. i dont know though.

i just called pro50 and they said they're aware of the problem and sending me a bushing kit to fix it. really good customer service. he said it was because ford didnt center the trans. its ok to drive how it is though

 

[07stanggt]

the bushing kit is the 8 washer i talked about.. Thats right i forgot i had to get that as well.
