Boss Doctor Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I found a 2.25" black shift knob with a Shelby Cobra inset at MRT that looks really wicked with the black interior of the car. http://mrt-direct.com/concept/Accessories/.../shiftknobs.php You mean this? I love it. Now I need a new Shifter!! That is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 hey 6-speed... i just spoke with enrique at spp today. he told me end of sept now for expected delivery of the shelby short throw. still waiting patiently!! I think I first saw the Shelby shifter in the Winter 07 catalog? It had a release date of March 08. Now the end of September 08. I know that SPP has a lot on their plate but guessing at release dates is not real helpful to us obsessive compulsive type planners. :fool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckstang Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Why wait when the KR shifter from FRPP is available now and already proven itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt50035 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Why wait when the KR shifter from FRPP is available now and already proven itself chuckstang: very true. just preference i guess. although my patience is running a little thin, i love the look of the shelby shifter and i am hoping (on faith alone and the shelby reputation) that it is a high quality product.

It's a shame to cover it all up and hide it under the tunnel! Seriously though, it just looks beefier and more substantial than any of the others. And with the boot a little lower than stock, the billet upper section with the engraved "Shelby" lettering will be visible. Should look fantastic... I'm on the list, I called on Tuesday and was also told late September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm partial to the Ford Racing Short Throw shifter and white knob. Here's mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustarrosa Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 What about MGW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamxlr8 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 What about MGW? MGW is good but I'm pretty sure they only make shifters for 5speeds and not the 6speeds for the new S197 style stangs if they do this shifter is not a factory/shelby made product thus aftermarket and reduces maket value of your car!! my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ff500 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I had an mgw in my 03 cobra vert and it was good, I like the frpp short throw better though. I've kept all my original parts on my gt500 but I don't think thats gonna matter as these cars aren't going to appreciate in value much there's to many of them, hopefully I'm wrong.

chuckstang Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 How do you get the leather boot off the dash, do you just get something like a putty knife under it and lift and it just pops off? Does the stock knob just unscrew as well? Thinking about adding just the knob and that seems easy enough to install myself thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 How do you get the leather boot off the dash, do you just get something like a putty knife under it and lift and it just pops off? Does the stock knob just unscrew as well? Thinking about adding just the knob and that seems easy enough to install myself thx Yes to both questions - but use a plastic putty knife. If I recall correctly, there is a band at the top opening of the leather boot that fits over a notch at the base of the knob. You just pull the knob out of the boot once it's free from the shaft or you can try pulling the top of the rubber boot down off the knob first and then unscrew the knob. I posted detailed instructions on installing the FRPP shifter handle/ball in the Mod & Tech forum - see post #13 in this thread: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php...=27440&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
