Description
Five-speed swaps into classic Mustangs solve the highway droning problem, but they create a new one: a modern shift lever that looks completely out of place in a period-correct interior. This OEM-style shift lever delivers the authentic 1968 Mustang 4-speed appearance your build deserves while bolting directly to modern TREMEC transmissions.
The engineering centers on precision fitment. The 8mm mounting holes are positioned on 7/8-inch center-to-center spacing to bolt directly to stock T5 shifters without modification. When using aftermarket shifters, the mounting holes may need to be enlarged to accept 3/8-inch bolts. The chrome-plated high-strength steel construction provides both the durability for daily driving and the show-quality finish that restoration and restomod builds demand.
The simulated reverse lockout lever with T-handle captures the distinctive look of the original 1968 4-speed shifter. The lockout mechanism is non-functional since modern TREMEC transmissions don't use this feature, but the visual authenticity remains intact. The 8.5-inch lever height places the shift knob exactly where the factory intended, and the standard 1/2-20 thread accepts your choice of period-correct woodgrain knobs or modern alternatives.
This lever works with T5, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions, covering the most popular 5-speed and 6-speed conversion choices for classic Mustangs. If you're building a restomod that needs to look stock from the driver's seat, this is the shift lever that gets it done.
