Help Needed: Changing Automatic Shifter **** (1996 Mustang GT)
I, like many others, do not particularly like the stock shifter **** that is on my 1996 Mustang GT Convertible (automatic transmission). I want something else, plain and simple. In particular, I'm looking for some sort of black leather shifter.
However, I'm not sure if I would be able to switch to the ones that I want. Here are a few samples of some shift ***** that I would like:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
They are both listed as automatic shifters... which has been hard to find, as most of the shifters that I have seen that match what I'm looking for are for manual transmissions.
My question is... are either one of those compatible/would they be able to be installed on my car easily? And how would you go about doing that?
Thanks in advance.

Apparently the links don't work anymore... so here's another one:

If those don't work... here are pictures of what I want (both say in the auctions that they are for automatics... the first one is from a Subaru, the second one says it is universal):

Then, here is what I currently have (not my pic, but same car/everything):

Is it possible? Let me know, thanks.

I dunno about yours, but my '02 has a side button for shifting, and another lower side button for locking out overdrive. That functionality has to go somewhere.
I'm in the same boat- I would love to change mine. It looks like yours, only all black plastic, and the newer models are changeable but I haven't found anything that will work for mine.
