yes we strongly suggest you get to a shop that has a lift as it is much easier to install.
here are some pointers to make install VERY easy.
1. do NOT take the driveshaft apart and lower. it is NOT needed for this install.
2. DO take the center console off to install. it makes it so much easier to install the shifter, sound plate, and boots as well as setting the stops bolts. it is also so easy to do. there are only 2 screws in the back between the seats. you just lift the center glove box lid open and they are staring right at you. take out those screws and the whole console just tilts forward and pops right out. there are no screws in the front, just those little pop clamps.
3. if you are going to tackle this with just ramps please have someone hold a light up under the car to help.

Well George, I am really excited about this mod. Probably the most of all that I have done so far. Thanks for the latest photos that you posted. I just cannot wait to get this into the car.

hi george,,,,one question,,,,are you going to include both shift rods on this first batch like you did with the first batch on the 03-04 cobra handles (blue and red)????? I can't decide if I want the hurst or stick with the mgw **** I have now,,,,,,,

we have not released the shifter yet so that is why nobody has called but we do have your orders if you called and got on the list. i will post on this forum when we are actually ready to go.
here is what i would do...
if you know you want the shifter at this point go ahead and call in and give ALL your info to my sales staff. address, phone number, method of shipping and credit card info. that way when the shifters are actually ready to go yours will ship the soonest.
if you are not yet decided but are on the list we will be calling you when we are ready and then you can make the decision to buy or not.
if you are not yet on the list...well lets just say after this morning you better hurry!!!!!!
i will NOT be offering both handles for this price as i cannot afford more of a loss on this initial run. but i will offer the 15 percent off the handles as well. the handles alone will sell for about 15.00.
also note that i will be offering a mgw gripper ball that will thread onto the hurst so if anybody has bought one of my gripper ***** for the 2005 mustang already you can mail it back and we can swap out the lower shank to the same threads as the hurst ball for only 5 bucks. then you can swap out the hurst and mgw ***** all the time on your mustang.
