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 (30)

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.

I just wanted a new one but mines an automatic can i still use it

Unfortunately this will not work with the automatic transmission. Only the manual.

What are the size of the two socket head bolts that retain the lower part of the shifter in the assembly. Mine are removed and I am having a hard time finding replacements? 1 answer

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

The SR Performance Short Throw Sport Shifter is specifically designed to be used on V8's and V6's equipped with T5/T45's, and will not fit on your 2.3 Mustang.

It sucks

It’s not worth the money I’ve had it for almost 6 months now and have to pull it apart to fix multiple times because it comes apart while driving and now after fixing it 20 different time it’s stared stripping the treads to attach the handle it’s not worth the money

Shorty throw

Had a short throw on before but this one is far and away better, tighter. Just all round better feel. Remember on the upper shift handle to keep it tight use star washers. The washers with the spikes on the outside. No lock tight.

GOOD FOR THE MONEY

The product works as it is suppose to, installation was easy and it's good for the price. i had a problem with mine, driving down the road the bolt holding down the spring backed out and fell on the road somewhere and the kit doesn't come with any extra. i don't know how to replace it either, but for the most part it's a good shifter.

Not too bad

I would say this is fine if you are looking to shorten your shifts. But quality is not so great. Just wont last you. You want one that will last and great quality. Get a steeda triaxe short shifter.

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
