Default '03 Cobra shift ****

<img src="http://ebay2.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_2044de84cb0237fea0af23c8b626497f/i-2.JPG" alt=" - " />

It would match my interior perfect. I read on ebay that it did not fit the guys trans am. Is the thread size larger or smaller? Anyone modify one to fit?

Thanks,
Justin

It is smaller, and no, I haven't modified one! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I guess a machine shop could re-thread the shifter stick?

Actually, , all you need to do is rebore it and tap it. Sears sells die tap kits that will fit.

Good thread. I was wondering about this also. Some other possible candidates I'm considering are:
1) 2000 Cobra R ****... leather w/ embossed pattern. I couldn't find any pics though on the net.
2) C5 Vette ****... a little bulky though.

Thanks guys..

I just bought one so I will be updating this thread soon with an installed picture. I like the Cobra R **** also, but I have brushed aluminum trim so the '03 **** fits my style better.

The stock Hurst (and my Ripper) both are a huge 5/8-18 thread size. There aren't many ***** that will fit.

Default Re: '03 Cobra shift ****

you could get a mustang shift handle (aftermarket) and it should work.

I was going to do the same, stock shifter, pro 5.0 mustang handle, w/ the 03 cobra ****, BUT the pro 5.0 (mustang T5) handle has a different thread than the standard stang handles.

(I tried with just the mustang pro 5.0 handle and made a huge difference in the throw, much shorter, but it was a friends, so i had to give it back after i borrowed it)

The MAC handle (mustang) will not work because of the angle, (hits the back of the console hole, w/ stock shifter)

The Steeda handle may work, im not sure, ( i will be trying one a month or so)

I turned the Pro 5.0 stick the other way, cause if I had put it in the normal way I thought it would hit the back of the console.

Some new info:

The '03 Cobra PRO 5.0 shifter handle is the same thread as the stock '03 handle. It will accept the stock '03 ****. I am trying to find out if the stick is same design as the older ones or angled way back.

Used to have the hurst black shift **** on the b&m shifter. POS! I hated that **** it didn't thread on far enough and it was huge. I ended up replacing the **** with a black anodized Z28 etched one from http://www.mbaproducts.com/ . I got the smaller round one without the neck and it is awesome! It sits about 1/2" lower then the hurst on the same shifter and isn't cheap plastic with a threaded insert.

you can buy the normal pro 5.0 stick online for like $40 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Im sure you can with the pro 5.0 03 as well.

Question, if you dont have a pro 5.0 already, could i just order a 03 cobra one? get the stick and shifter in one purchase.????????????????
