Picked this up off eBay last week. Feels a lot more solid than the stocker did.

Thanks for the tip! I couldn't quite figure out if it went under or over the grommet. :)

If you really want to get rid of sloppy shifts, pick up and install a set of these...

Here's a thread that explains pretty much everything you could want to know regarding the factory shifters used in the years 2005-2014, as well as the solid bushing install.

You're right! It looks much better with the boot going over the rubber grommet! Thanks for the advice!

These sound like a good deal, but I've always heard it's a real bitch to get to the bolts on these remote shift arms! I don't have access to a lift, and the idea of laying on my back under the car for prolonged periods of time, really doesn't appeal to me!

all you have to do to install this is pull up on the center console, loosen the shifter knob, remove it, pull the console off, unplug any lighting plugs, install the new shifter with two bolts (included) and reinstall everything...very simple and takes about 30 minutes at the most all inside the car...this just replaces the shifter handle and the shifter ball...but looses the useless rubber bushing...no more noise than stock and much more solid shift feel...It was one of the first things I did to my 2012 GT500...

trmach1, looks good, the other choice is the rousch leather boot which has a opening that fits the grommet perfect , but then we loose the alcantra boot i would like to keep our boot.

Hey Jim!

 

I'ze gotz me a Shelby too! (Mach1 EH from M1R), figured the name I chose here would apply better!

Hope you can make the 50th in April.

 

Hey Ray, the ranks of the Shelby Division of the Mach 1 Registry continues to increase! How do you like your Shelby? My reservations for the 50th are all complete, and as of last week, we now have a parking area thanks to Team Shelby's participation in the M.O.R.E. program. I can't wait to get to Charlotte, only 63 days to go!

See you @ M.O.R.E. parking, I'll be beside Chris. Have registered @ the 50th with my Mach 1, since it was at the 40th & 45th. Remember I still owe you the 1st round!
