T-5 Shifter?

March 20, 2006, 10:32:07 AM

I was modifying the stock shift handle (the part that actually bolts on to the tranny, and the attaches to) for a little more clearance relative to the console, and inadvertently cracked it. Does anyone have a stock shift "handle" for an '85 TC with a T-5? I am using a Hurst shifter. Any year 'Bird or Mustang lever will probably work, is there an aftermarket version I could use?

I'm guessing you don't have a welder?

I didn't like how hard the handle on my UPR shifter was to reach when the transmission was in 3rd or 5th, so I took a stock handle and cut & rewelded it. It was pretty decent although I ended up laying it back a little TOO far, so I think I'm gonna modify it a little again.
