No he has it right, you don't want it aiming down... get off his shit. & thats a Roush shifter, dummy.

if it were installed the other way, it would be angled towards the back, and give a more road race feel to the shifter. i know the picture is a roush shifter, i just couldn't find a good hurst picture.

:D

I guess it just seems like the shift knob would be aimed too far down. It looks alright the way he has it installed. Would that type of part be possible to install backwards... say if... ... Leonide was a dummy??

Havokk 12-03-2008 03:51 AM

Leonide has it on there correctly... I am 100 percent sure of it. :breakdancesmilie:

Ghostalker 12-03-2008 05:47 AM

It only looks backwards with the shift boot on, because it looks like it could be swiveled. However, if you look at it with the boot off, you see installing it backwards would place it up against the console.

King 12-03-2008 05:48 AM

Definitely installed correctly judging by the pics. Looks sharp!

doobie 12-03-2008 06:00 AM

is that a....cassette player?

spike_africa 12-03-2008 06:37 AM

Much better now I bet and looks better too. Just need to really clean that interior up.

PureStang 12-03-2008 06:59 AM

i have that shifter as well. i love it but i wanna try an MGW shifter.

oh, and if you are looking to replace the shift handle, then go for the MGW blue shifter, thats what i use with my hurst

Steeda97 12-03-2008 09:43 AM

94-04 shifters look so dang ugly. They are so huge. The stock ones remind me of a babys arm. without a hand. and its a black baby.

jseven 12-03-2008 11:14 AM

what do you have, steeda? and yes, clean your car!

shifter looks cool btw

automatic with the j-mod. 4.10 gears.


had to throw in the 4.10 gears to make me not sound like a homo for having an auto.

nice job!!!!

Leonide 12-03-2008 01:43 PM

it would not be possible to even install it the other way 'round. and i plan on getting a second shifter boot console thing and having it custom sewn to where it looks like it was made for it, eventually. i also replaced the stock radio deck with a Sony Xplod deck. i like it. :)

the gillz 12-03-2008 03:35 PM

I freaking love that car my bro used to have one same color and totally got me into stangs. Now you dont see that many 94-98's that look decent anymore , keep it up oh yeah throw some 18's and some LTs on that thing and she will look and sound purddy :cool:

Its for auto cars where you mod the valve body in the tranny to allow fluid to flow faster for firmer and faster shifts. This makes the tranny run cooler and makes it stronger by allowing more pressure on the bands. You can also bark 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd too which is fun.

cant wait ;)

I thought it was backwards too lol....All the Hurst shifters I've ever seen installed were the "Rock Crusher" style where it looks like the Roush shifter did. I like yours too though.
