xXBoostinTSIXx Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have a steeda shifter from a fox body stang and i decided to see if i could make it work in the quest. i cut the mounting plate to size and drilled new mounting holes. i had to make a 1/4" shim between the tranny and the shifter because the shifter that goes into the tranny was alil bit to long. i took off the old teflon ball bushing on the stock shifter and pushed it on the new one. thats all i had to do. the new shifter works awesome! the shifts are closer and shorter and much more solid. has anyone ever dont this before? i tried to find a aftermarket shifter but no luck. ill post pics as soon as i can but it might be a couple days.

SOTTY Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I had a parts car here a long time ago and im sure the short shifter was a mustang one, the 2 back holes if i remember right,had been re drilled to fit the starion gearbox, i may be wrong but it wasnt anything like the others ive seen.
