Anybody out there with a 4” one piece aluminum drive shaft tried installing an aftermarket shifter (i.e. Hurst, Barton etc). I have an 08 with the first generation 4” drive shaft from Shaftmasters. Not a lot of room to work with. I was looking at the Shelby shifter.

 

Don't waste your time with all the rest go with the best MGW shifter. Had mine MGW since late 2006 in my 05 GT. Also have ShaftMasterdrive shaft. If you go with MGW you will need to reduce the turns to less than 6 or it might touch.

+1 on the MGW , I've had it and the Steeda drive shaft for years with no problems
