Improves Shifts. Get quick, crisp, shorter throws with an SR Performance Short Throw Sport Shifter. Get rid of that loose sloppy feeling of your factory shifter and enjoy rowing through the gears every time you get in your manual Mustang.

Adjustable. Two sets of centering return springs and adjustable shift stops allow you to adjust the shift handle firmness to your own personal preference. The included handle of this SR Performance Short Shifter allows for multiple positions for further adjust-ability.

Superior Construction. The upper collar of this SR Performance T5/T45 Sport Shifter is constructed out of pure billet aluminum for strength and weight reduction, while the base is cast aluminum to provide a sturdy platform for those heavy handed shifters.

Application. This SR Performance 5-Speed Short Throw Sport Shifter is designed to fit the 1983 to early 2001 V8 and 1994 to 2004 V6 Mustangs with the T-5/T-45 Transmission. Reuses factory shift knob.

Questions & Answers (28)

5 Top Rated Questions

are the springs and washers necessary to assembly

The springs included with the SR Performance Short Throw Sport Shifter are replacements for the tension spring to allow adjustment of the shifter's tension. The washers are needed for the install and will go on the bolts connecting the shifter to the transmission to evenly distribute the clamping force.

Helpful (5)

Do I need to replace the rubber bushing that connects the shifter to the transmission?the old one fits small and I don’t know we’re to order the right one or if I even need it?

The SR Performance Short Throw Sport Shifter is designed to reuse the OEM shifter bushing. This will also work with any aftermarket bushings designed to work with the stock shifter.

Helpful (1)

do you need a new seal while installing the new shifter?

Yes, it would be required to get a new shifter gasket or apply a bead of RTV when installing this shifter.

Helpful (1)

will this work with the hurst competition shifter handle in a 93 5.0

We have not tested the SR Performance Short Throw Sport Shifter with the Hurst handle, however this shifter has a standard shift handle bolt pattern and will accept any shift handle that will fit the stock shifter.

Helpful (1)

Whats the tread pitch?

This shifter will reuse the factory shift knob, so it will have the same thread pitch of 12mm x 1.75.

What is the difference between the SR performance short throw shifter and the SR Performance short throw 'sport' shifter? 1 answer

The sport short throw shifter utilizes a 3 piece design which, while not sacrificing performance, is slightly weaker than that of its 2 piece billet aluminum counterpart.

My question is this says 82- early 01 so I am assuming this would not work in a 01 with a production date of 08/01 or would I be mistaken? 1 answer

Hey Michael, You are correct, this would not work in a late model 2001 (08/01) because the transmission had changed to the TR3650 and this would be for the T5/T45

Helpful (0)

Will it work on a 1990 2.3? 1 answer

Ive been running this in my car for almost 2 weeks and even after using high-strength threadlocker the 4 botls that attach the shifter to the blue extension and from that piece to the shift handle keep coming loose. I noticed that one of the bolts that is supposed to be used for that is shorter than the other three. I realized that practically no thread from the bolt was actually holding together the two pieces it was intended to. Is there any way i can get another set of equal length screws? 1 answer

Slick

Super easy installation. Dor forget to adjust the two bolts that keep tje shifter withen the natural flex and stop points. If you do not do this you can end up damaging the linkage. Put some grease in the pocket where the new shifter shaft inserts into the linkage cup. Shift is quick and snappy!!!!! I added a weighted shift knob for even better results. The position of the shifter is different from the stock location. Aside from sitting lower it is also slightly to the right. After a drive or two, you will not even notice anymore.

Good for the price

I had this shifter in my car for 2 or 3 years and just recently moved on to a new tri axe shifter and there is a world of a differece. There is no comparing the two, this shifter is short and very notchy while the tri axe is short and angled in a way that makes is closer to you. I would spend the extra money on the tri axe

Feels amazing!!!!

This shifter has completely changed my driver experience in car. Some times with old stock shfter I’d forget what gear I was in sometime but now with this new SR Performance Short Throw Sport Shifter I always know what gear I’m in. I also feel better about shifting into third out of second now because the stock shifter has so much wiggle room, I’d end up money shifting. No one wants that!!!

Decent budget shifter

I decided to install without removing center console which is very possible with the proper tools. I used offset wrenches and it took a lot of patience unscrewing all the bolts. I've adjusted the shifter and it's pretty good. All gears hit easily- make sure you tighten the outer adjustment bolts! It can't compete with the steeda Tri-ax I have on my 03 GT buy for the money is so worth it, especially if ur factory one is shot like mine was on my 90 GT

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that some hardware was missing. Nothing I couldn't find in the garage though. I love the shifter compared to the stock one. After getting it adjusted it works amazing. Nice crisp shifts.

Nice.

Shifts are solid, throws alot shorter. Was a bit temperamental to adjust the spring tension, wanting it to spring back to center while not being too stiff to operate. The other adjustment is the length of it, I went with the higher mount point rather than the lower mount point for the stick. Even with this, it allowed for me to actually use the front cup holder! 1999. Of course you're reaching over the drink, but at least it works to get your drink back from Taco Bell. For 50 bucks, awesome.
