Garage Mechanic Briefing
Will this fit my modern Ford Mustang?
Yes, this shifter is specifically engineered for Ford Mustang manual transmissions, including the GT500 and GT S550 platforms.
Does it get hot in the sun?
Unlike aluminum shifters, the high-density resin material used here has very low thermal conductivity, meaning it stays comfortable to touch even on 100°F days.
Can I install this on an automatic?
It fits automatic vehicles as long as the shifter handle does NOT have a button-lock or pull-up reverse mechanism.
