dingo2008 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Is any one using the shelby short throw shifter for the GT500 with the factory handle and knob? Would like this shifter but don't want to see the aluminum shift handle or use a different knob them my factory one. thanks Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrush Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I think the thread's for the knob are different as if you look on the Shelby Performance Parts website they show two different aftermarket knobs (white one with Shelby lettering on side). One states that it works with the Shelby shifters and the other states that it works with the stock shifter. This would lead me to believe the shelby shifters have a different thread pattern. I'm not sure if you can get a factory looking knob that fits that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingo2008 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I know the thread for the knob is different, factory knob is fine thread, shelby is course thread knob, what I need to know is where the actual lever that the knob screws to is bolted to the shifter and uses two bolts to hold it to the shifter. Will my factory shift lever bolt onto the shelby shifter using those two same bolts, that way i will be able to use my factory shift knob and factory shift lever with the shelby shifter assembly. Thanks for the help if any one knows, if you have the shelby shifter and still have your factory one, could you try bolting your factory lever and knob on your shelby shifter to confirm it works for me.

Thanks Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe there is a difference in how the shift levers mount from the '09/earlier and the '10/'11 cars. I know that on my 2010, the two bolts that hold the shift lever onto the shfter stub screw in from the right (pass) side, across the console. And I *think* the earlier cars have the bolts screw in from the front (pointing to the rear of the car). If that's the case then the stock shift lever on the '07-'09 cars will work on the Shelby Shifter but the shaft from a 10 or 11 car will not. Because I THINK the SPP shifter has the bolts from the front, not the side. I say, I THINK (which really means I don't KNOW). I base this on photo's I've seen of earlier cars and actual knowledge of my own 2010 shifter when I changed it to a MGW. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

breoland Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have the shelby billet short throw shifter and I am using the KR chrome stick and white ball. I'm pretty sure that stick and ball is the same as stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
