i saw a picture of a guy on the boards a while back that had an '03 Cobra shift **** on their car. I got one from a friend and i wanted to know how you got it to work. the threads are wrong. did you re-thread the handle or get a different one?

gotta buy a pro 5.0 shifter first. Then you gotta buy the 03 cobra Pro 5.0 stick. Then, that **** will fit perfect.

I really need to get a 03 cobra **** though, would you be interested in selling it to me if you decide not to use it? please pm me and let me know if you don't want it, or decide it's too much of a hassle!

Thanks

actually an easier, less expensive route would be to redrill/thread and keep your shifter. here is the write up on it.

It's easier and less expensive if you have access to a tap that large, as you can't buy anything larger than 1/2" at hardware stores such as Home Depot or Lowes. I found one online, but it was 19 dollars just for the tap with no handle.

And you'll also need a drill bit about this big ($12-$14 at the Depot). And does your drill have a chuck big enough to accept this drill bit?

Take your **** to a machine shop. 10 minutes and $5-10 later it fits.

I grinded the thread off of my stock factory Hurst stick and rethreaded it to the same size as the Cobra **** threads.

Is there a Mustang handle that will bolt on to the stock shifter? I'd like to avoid buying a Pro 5.0, or having to drill/tap/die, but I will probably do the latter if my idea won't work.

yea, if anyone is selling there cobra ****, im interested. 50resto has them for like 35 bucks, but theyll only ship to the address on your cc statement and for me, im in the navy and my cc statement is sent to my ship. but it takes FOREVER to get mail so if anyone is selling one...hit me up

You can buy the mustang pro 5.0 handle and it should bolt right up to the stock shifter.

i dont think the pro 5 handle will fit a stock hurst or oem shifter

it's drilled in the same place as any short stick, why wouldnt it fit?

i just didnt think it would fit, you should ask someone on here to make sure. just to be safe.

keerus

Yes, has anyone tried this? I don't really want to buy a whole new shifter to accomodate my ****, and they do indeed bolt in at the same spot, so I don't know why it wouldn't work. Anyone have any experience with this?

For all those interested, it does fit on the hurst shifter, i just went and checked. So it will fit stock as well.

BottleRocket

the **** fits on the hurst shifter or the pro 5.0 handle does?

the **** will fit on the pro 5 shifter handle for the stang, and that handle will fit on your hurst shifter. so, you buy the pro 5 shifter handle for the stang, the 03 cobra ****, and put it on your hurst shifter. if you so choose. it was cheaper for me to have a new custom handle made
