Those of you using a Cheetah shifter:

What did you do to make your headers fit with the shifter bracket?



LS swap with dynatech headers and the collector needs to go up another 3/4" to line up with the bolt holes in the head. I've been researching and it seems like its a common problem with c4 trans' in the mustangs too. Unfortunately, nobody posts with their solution to the problem.

Ideas?

I have never had a problem with the Hurst bracket on my c4 with any headers I have had. The Hurst bracket puts the cable up high.

I have had bbk with the ford and dynatech with the lsx.

already got the Cheetah obviously, so trying to make that work.

several posts online say people have problems with the cheetah shifter bracket and mustang headers, but no solutions. SCS practically beats you over the head in their instructions say don't use any lever/bracket besides one designed for the cheetah...

I put a call into Dynatech yesterday and Greg called me back today gathering all my info. His R&D dude won't be in until Monday so they are going to call me on Monday and see what they can do. Really a cool guy to deal with and very willing to make this right.

I went with a B&M Pro Ratchet shifter in mine. The B&M shifter bracket mounts up higher towards the pan on my TH350.

You were 100% right. Just did this tonight and it worked perfect. No header modification needed.
