KMB Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hello all. I am new to the forum and to AI. I just bought a slightly abused '98 Mustang GT and will be building my very own AI car from it. It is getting ready for some track days as the build progresses, starting with chassis and suspension work. The cage will follow soon, I hope. I'm a small guy and when I'm strapped into the car reaching 5th gear is almost too much. I have to slide over in the seat, rotating my shoulders to make the gear. I can see over-revs in my future from missing shifts. I've seen shifters moved back but my searches on-line for a kit have yielded no results. Does anybody have a suggestion? Does everyone build their own? Thanks for any help. I imagine asking uneducated questions will become common as this is my first track-car build.

blk96gt Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have a shifter extension that came with my car that the PO bought from Agent 47. It's never been installed so I don't know how much it actually helps, but looking at the pictures it looks like it will do what you want. If I get a chance this weekend I'll put it next to my current shifter (Steeda Tri-Ax) to compare the difference. http://www.agentfortyseven.com/SN95/shifter.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacook Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I use the Mustangs Plus kit and built a longer connecting rod. Shifting action is smooth and precise and I've not had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocB Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 You may want to take a look here, at MGW. It will allow you to move the shifter back and closer to you for your "hard to reach" 5th, without the added hardware on the tunnel. Put the ball right where it feels comfortable to you. Just another possibility. http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang_1990-2004.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmerkur Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Is the Mustang Plus shifter still available? I would like to get my hands on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnett Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 KMB, all these guys mean well but dont over think it.....aluminum plate with 4 holes in it. You choose how far back it comes by how far back you drill the 2nd set of holes. Make it thick enough not to bend! Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMB Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thank you all. I'll start with a plate and then move on to one of the remote set-ups after I get the car running. Somehow I've killed the car. Something about a passive anti-theft. Any one know somebody that can re-flash my computer? But that's another topic.
