Description
When your S197 Mustang's shift knob starts showing wear, it drags down both comfort and interior appearance. This genuine Ford OEM replacement delivers the exact fit and feel Ford engineered for your GT's 5-speed transmission. Unlike aftermarket alternatives that may compromise on materials or thread engagement, this factory knob maintains the precise specifications that ensure smooth, rattle-free operation with your stock or upgraded shifter assembly.
Ford drastically changed the factory shifter design starting in 2005 with the S197 platform, positioning the shifter assembly remotely from the transmission. This design requires specific thread pitch and mounting geometry that only an OEM-spec knob provides perfectly. The 12mm x 1.25mm fine thread pitch ensures secure engagement without the need for adapters or modifications.
The leather-wrapped construction offers superior durability and grip compared to the all-plastic knobs found on some base model variants. The silver face with black shift pattern provides at-a-glance gear position reference during spirited driving. The integrated boot retainer secures your shift boot in place, maintaining a clean, finished appearance without gaps or loose material around the base of the knob.
Installation is straightforward - simply thread the knob onto your existing shift lever until the boot retainer contacts the shift boot. Whether you're restoring to factory condition, replacing a worn component, or finishing a 5-speed swap, this Ford OEM part ensures your Mustang's shifter operates exactly as intended from the factory.
