Torched10 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 anyone have any experience with the GT 500 after market shffter balls offered by Shelby in different colors?/They get mixed reviews as to fitment,but look pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billk2011 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 They are nice, much better if it was sold with the retainer/jam nut included. I do prefer the smaller diameter factory shifter ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose17 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Got mine from EPCOshiftknobs.com. Nice ball, dark blue with white snakes both facing forward on the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskup1 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Received mine last week, but I'm still waiting on my jamnut to get delivered before I install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crushinator Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 The only thing I truely do not like about my car is the baseball knob I grab to shift it. I wish someone would come up with a traditional knob like the ZL1 Camaro has. Much more ergonomic and the suede has to feel a hell of a lot better in your hand than what we have now.

I've driven in both. To be honest the ball is so much easier to shift. I just hate that its white. Where is this nut or w/e everyone is getting so these shifter balls fit with the stock equipment?

jskup1 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Jamnut came in! Here's a pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclass Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 So am I understanding you guys correctly that I need another part (jam nut) after buying the $70 ball from this site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskup1 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 You can buy just the ball, but then there is a gap between the ball and the boot. The "jamnut" is the sleeve inbetween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the stock jam nut under the 2012 shifter ball doesnt work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskup1 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I read where someone was able to get their's off the stock knob and file down the top so it would fit, but for $20, I didn't want to risk damaging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10SHELBY Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ok I am about to order the ball so you are saying I also need to order a jam nut? Where can I get it and what should I ask for? Thanks in advance for any help offered. Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt13 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 There's one 8 posts back. Oops just saw it. So you got the frosted version? Is that what is most closely looking to the stock one? Also would you be able to take a bigger picture because that one is super small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskup1 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yes, that is the frosted one. I keep trying to post bigger pics here. I'm using the highest resolution on my camera and even using photobucket to host them and they still come out small. WTF am I not doing!

10SHELBY Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Any idea when then the new ball colors will be available? I thought I saw a thread but I can not find it now. I need a red ball with silver stripes. Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose17 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Go to EPCO, they ARE the manufacturer and can pretty much do whatever you want. Speed dawg gets their balls from them if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10SHELBY Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks to both of you. I just thought there was a Shelby thread about it here somewhere. Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose17 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Get the thread size from Speed Dawg though: https://www.speeddawg.com/shifter-thread-sizes EPCO will ask you what size thread you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
