I called this morning and asked to send it on ahead without the bushings, since I still have the stock ones. Hopefully it'll go out soon and I'll get to track it's progress across the country.

Install snag:
I specified "stock shift ****" when ordering, for a 2007 Mustang GT. I have the Premier Trim Package, which has an all metal ****. The threads are of a much bigger size than those on the handle I received. Hopefully there is a handle that will work because I really wanted to retain the stock **** :/

the threaded shaft for the stock **** is m12 x 1.25 threads. it should be the same on all shifters. which **** do you have that is all metal frtom the facotry as i have only seen 3 styles of oem **** and they are all plastic.
could you post a pick of the **** you are using? did it come with the car
from the factory?
please let me know asap as these threds were made to fit metal or plastic ***** as our grippers actually have aluminum base not plastic and they fit them fine.
also, can you post a pic of the handle you got to make sure its not the hurst 3/8-16 thread.

Yes, same **** as Tispco. It is only found on 2007 Mustang GT's with the Premier Trim Package. It is metal. It seems the 1st 66% of the threads inside the **** are not used, they are too large.
I compared the shaft to the stocker, they were the same! So I scratched my head. Then I put the **** back on, felt it pass most of the threads, and then it started threading. It seems there is some sort of insert deep in the **** with smaller threads. You can see it in there if you shine a light into it. It looks like brass/copper or something.
Regardless, your kit works great Sorry for the panic! I'll post a review when I get a chance to drive it..too tired!
After I got my brain in order, everything went smooth. The kit was complete, and all parts fit perfectly the 1st time. Very complete kit with unreal build quality. I started out with 9 turns and then went to 11. It feels awesome with that throw length. Can't wait to throw it in 3rd at 6000 RPM tomorrow!

good deal glad it worked out 
just rmember do not screw it out at all past 12 turns. it will start to rattle which is telling you you are in the unsafe zone of the linakge. i have put mine at 12 turns now and to be honest it is really too short and the tranny is just too notchy to get that short. i think the sweet zone is aobut 7-8 turns out.
