hi,i have modified my mustang t5 with a s10 housing but i see that i need to change the offset lever where shifter ball goes because the mustang offset lever is too long....can you help me?thanks
Talk to Limey Steve here on the HAMB. He has modded a T5 shifter and welded a 1939 Ford swan neck shift lever to the T5 shifter base. He's an Alliance Vendor and may be able to make one for you too - very traditional looking as well....
Not sure what your saying here............ Is the problem with the ball end that goes into the tailhousing or the shift stick end !!! If it its the first, you may have to use the S10 shifter for it to work or if it is the other you can get a Pro-5 shifter so that you can bolt which ever offset stick from Hurst that suits your needs. You still may have to get one that fits a Camaro/Firebird, this is what I used for my conversion Camaro box with S10 T/S http://www.jegs.com/i/Pro-50/813/P3050/10002/-1?parentProductId=752406
this is the lever that cause the issue,,,the ford type is too long and don't fit the s10 tailhousing http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7156/fordoffsetlever.jpg
no no....when i start to buy pieces for the swap i don't know that i need that piece too...certainly the s10 lever is all that i need but i'm tryng difficulty to find one ...today i was in a machine shop and they try to modified the ford offset lever to risolve my problem,i hope to close my swap soon......
I got it now .....................hope that works out for ya. A long shot, but I will check with the local trans shop here and see if he might have one. Cheers, Judd
thanks buddy...after about 20 emails sended on ebay i have received just in this moment 2 right emails from sellers that have the lever for 35$,,i wait the machine shop response....and if they can't do the work i contact this sellers,,thanks for your interest...however i keep in mind your messages...
No worries I have some parts left over....a tailshaft but no rails or the part you require..........I do however have an s10 shifter if you need one. judd
If you don't find what you need I've got the S10 part. Mine came from a 4X4 but should work. I won't be using it to do my conversion to top mounted shifter anyway. Let me know and I can send it to you or take some measurements and make sure it will work for you. Jeff
