I've noticed in some of the first official production photos that there is a chrome manual shift **** with the IUP. I thought the IUP came with a leather wrapped shift ****. Is the chrome one still available????

Chrome shift ****



Leather wrapped shift ****

 

Ford rep said the chrome ball shifter was replaced with leather wrapped shifter after it failed the "cold tongue" test during winter testing in Sweden.

 

thats funny. did they have to call the fire dept like in a christmas story? b/c i triple dog dare you

 

Chrome one was replaced by the new one.

New regular **** is a black with white lettering insert.
IUP **** is the same style, only the insert is brushed alum.
Both have a clear plastic cover over it, to avoid the BURN in direct sunlight.

 

Whoa! That's the coup de grace!

With a slight breach of etiquette, you went straight for the throat on that one!

 

i will probaly get a saleen or steeda shift k ***

 

Part of me wants an old school solid round white or black shift ****.

sort of like this:



But for spirited driving, where your hand is on the **** constantly, a leather surface is preferred...

 

That one would fit nice on an 05.
Not only will the chrome ball get cold at extremely cold weather, but hot at extremely hot weather ie Palm Desert. Firefighters would also come to extinguish your hand

 

That wouldn't work so well seeing as you only have a 5-speed.

You'd throw it into Reverse on the highway, LMAO!!

I'm j/k. I know you just meant the style.

 

Actually, I'd prefer that it didn't have any shift diagram on it at all!

I've always considered the shift diagrams to be the most useless stuff ever. It's as if they had arrows around the ignition showing you which way to turn the flippin key.

My first mustang didn't have any shift pattern on the shift **** ('66 fastback with 3spd stick, aftermarket cheapo ****), and I don't see why the new one needs it.

 

That ain't old school . . . this is old school.

 

Oh to have 6 speeds...I'd slap some 4.30's if that were the case



Seeing as that I hated the Bullitt shift **** because it got so hot, I'm glad they changed it

 

Gimme the leather wrapped any day.

I don't need my hand to look like that ****'s in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

 

good call. i think what they did looks nice. and there's always aftermarket if you're not satisfied.

 

I have the bullit shifter *** in my roush and it kills in the summer. Seriously you can see the shift pattern on your palm if you leave your hand on it. Leather is a good thing!

 

I like the black old school one I wonder what the wood steering wheels will look like with the IUP

 

Here's my aftermarket choice...the SN95 Bullitt ****

 

If i got a chrome **** i'd like something cool in the middle so that i didnt have a diagram branded in my palm.

 

You had a 3 speed and you don't see the need for a shift pattern?

If I had a nickle for every time someone drove my '66 w/3 speed and shifted into what they thought was first and proceeded to move backwards at an alarming rate....

Heh...I guess the no pattern thing is good for an occasional laugh....

being an auto driver since i got my drives license, i want any shifter just as long as its not an auto one.
