Description
Getting the shifter in exactly the right spot is one of the biggest headaches in a Magnum swap -- especially when stock tunnel openings and console cutouts were never designed for a modern 6-speed. The MDL Qwik Stik solves that problem with precision-machined, anodized mounting plates that bolt directly to your TREMEC Magnum F or Magnum XL transmission, positioning the shift lever exactly where it needs to be without guesswork or custom fabrication.
This particular configuration delivers a 1" left and .650" or 1.150" forward offset from center, with the shifter in the rear position. That geometry is dialed for 1974-78 Mustang II applications running a Magnum XL, or any build using a Magnum F where this specific offset clears the tunnel and lines up with the console. Attach your shift lever, boot, and shift knob and you are all set.
The engineering goes beyond just placement. Belleville washers provide the crisp detent feel that separates a precision shifter from a sloppy one -- you will notice it most on quick 2-3 upshifts under load. The no-stops design is not a cost-cutting measure; it is a durability and serviceability choice that eliminates the most common failure point on factory-style shifters. When you do need to service the shifter, the Belleville spring configuration allows easy access without wrestling with broken or binding stop mechanisms.
The 7/8-inch on-center mounting pattern is the industry standard for aftermarket shift levers, so you are not locked into a single lever option. Billet aluminum keeps weight down while standing up to years of aggressive shifting. Made in the USA with the precision Modern Driveline is known for.
