2012 Shifter Ball - Brass adapter - can you buy this anywhere?

[crowley]

As posted in the GT500 shift ball thread, I got my shifter ball and shift boot adapter yesterday. I went to check out the 3 adapters and nuts that came with the shifter ball and 2 are too large (adapter and nuts) and the 1 brass adapter only threads about 1 turn onto the stick, 1 nut will tread about a 1/2 a turn on ... I was wondering if these can be picked up at a local home depot or somewhere as I perhaps they are defective or not the correct size (says it should be 10mm x 1.25in ) ...

 

Took another look this am and I think they have given me parts that don't have the correct thread pattern in them..

 

Thoughts?

Call Chris over at Speed Dawg and he will get you the correct part sent out ASAP. Ask for Chris.

Thanks for the suggestion. The boot retainer (spacer) that I got works and has the correct threads. It is the adapter that screws into the shifter ball and then screws onto the shifter handle that doesn't work. I'm convinced they have the wrong thread on there. I'll give Shelby a call today and hopefully they can send the parts I need ASAP.

 

thanks,

Crowley, I had the same exact problem you have described, I ran a 10mm tap through the brass sleeve and the jam nut, they threaded on after that, they tightened up just fine, but I used loc-tite rather than brute torque to insure a solid install. hope this helps.......Ben

I have the same problem with none of the adapters screwing onto the shifter of my 2008 GT500KR. I just sent Jonathan an email so hopefully it will get resolved. Meanwhile I'll try the tap thing.

I have a KR shift lever in my car which I think is the Ford Racing produced lever that they use in the KR. The threads on mine are 3/8 X 16, not metric????
