🏎️ Performance-Enhancing Racing Short Throw Quick Shifter for 83-04 Ford / 83-88 Thunderbird / 85-90 Cosworth T5 Red (T45/T5 Manual Transmission Shifter Compatible) Review

Installs in about 30 minutes with no problems. Shifts significantly better than the factory assembly. Tight shifting without play. Great quality for so little money. Installed on a 2000 Mustang.

Received the item and installed it, gear oil ran through the ball joint and when I pulled it out I could clearly see in all four corners where the ball was not sitting properly.

Really good product but no instructions but I don't find it incomprehensible even for beginners. Feel better than my B&M short change kit. Maybe mine was worn out, not sure, just wanted to replace it.

Simple and gets the job done. Bought this for my '03 Mustang because the factory switch looks like a trailer switch. Did its job and is still holding up after 5 months. The only point of criticism is that the return spring is lost after a while after the gears chatter and has to be retensioned. So some kind of threadlocker might be useful, other than this perfect one.

Installed this shifter a few months ago. It shortened the shift (enough for me to use my cup holder) so it worked well. However, this switch doesn't come with instructions, so it can be a bit tricky. Other issues I've encountered are that the included hardware doesn't stand up to the pressure you're pulling on the strings and is stranded with nothing but a tiny protrusion to slip off. If you buy this use a nut and bolt with lots of red Loctite.

Got this to keep the shifter from hitting my Wawa coffee in the cup holder and it worked great as shown in fourth gear. The quality of the components was good, they fit together perfectly and mounted a standard boot on top. There were no instructions and it wasn't fully assembled, although it wasn't difficult to figure out. You will need threadlocker for the mounting bolts and a black RTV to create a seal at the transmission/shifter joint.

This is a great switch, just with a slight positioning issue. My old shifter was lost and the strokes were horribly long so I was just looking for something that could shorten the stroke a bit and be a bit firmer, but I was VERY surprised. Installation was easy (check out the ChrisFix video) and throws were reduced by at least 40%. However, the way the stock is assembled makes it so that even if you tilt it toward the rider at the tops, it's pretty far out from you. I found that I had to lean…

Put simply, this is POS. I didn't expect it to be the best derailleur ever, but I expected it to fit out of the box, the lower pivot ball had to be ground down to fit the factory shell. This derailleur does not match the bolt pattern of the factory shift knob as I had a secondary knob that is no longer usable. Not much better than factory. The pivot arm fits freely into the nylon pivot ball (nearly 1/4 inch play in the ball). Short stroke yes but serrated making the return springs poorly…
