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 (3)

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)

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)

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 (0)

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

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

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.

Short throw shifter

The sr performance shifter went on as easily as the stock one came off. The throws are a lot shorter and more precise than stock. The shifter is lowered a perfect amount as well. One problem was the vibration damping gaskets that went on the shifter handle. The holes on the gasket were too big for the shifter handle on both gaskets. But it's not a big deal and there is little vibration to begin with.

Disappointed

I was pretty disappointed with the shifter. It's not very smooth at all and sits way up in the dash on the early 2000 models. Wasnt comfortable to use for me but if you have long arms you might be alright. For the price it works but you might want to save a little extra money and upgrade.

DO NOT BUY, YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!

I bought this along with gasket to install base to, first off while installing the thread was all messed up for where the knob attaches to shifter. After re-threading I managed to get it to stay in place for a while. Drove for about a week then the handle felt super loose and fell back off, not sure if because I had to rig it to work or just shoddy so cranked probably 50-60 ft/lbs torque and it stays still. Drove my vehicle for another few weeks, the bolt/retainer for the spring that holds it down BOUNCED OUT AND LODGED ITSELF BETWEEN THIRD AND FIFTH GEAR. Quite literally making it impossible to engage and top gear. (1 3 5) Luckily I managed to pull over, and had my tools with me and saw that bolt stuck there, also it's near impossible to get a refund if you end up like me and half assemble it and find something wrong with it I strongly urge you to check the boxes before you touch anything!!! This thing is more of a hassle than I bargained for really really wish I spent a little more on a better one.

Good product

Good shifter. Shortens throw, adjustable, easy install. Hardest part of the whole thing was getting the old shifter off. After that, it's as easy as putting in a few nuts and bolts... just make sure you have threadlocker, so the bolts don't come loose while you're driving.

Poor Quality

The install was fairly simple and straightforward, however the ball of the new shifter was extremely tight going into the transmission. Once installed I instantly noticed how firm the shift was but decided I would give it a chance. After a few days of driving time with the new shifter, I had to uninstall it. I was constantly getting blocked from going into third gear and reverse was often non obtainable as well. And of course after thinking at least I could get my money back, I realized once a part is installed it can’t be returned. One of the worst ways I’ve ever spent $70. Would recommend buying a better shirt throw.
