Does anyone know if the thread size is the same on the manual trans '05 GT as it was on previous GTs? I have a 35th Anniversary aluminum **** on my '95 GT that I bought from Ford Motorsport, and would like to transfer it to the '05 GT when I get it, if it will fit.

This is the ****:

It was called the 35th Anniversary **** when I bought it, and it was $35 then. It looks even better when you paint the shift pattern and gear numbers black!

 

The '05 is 1/2". I don't know about the previous years.

 

Thread size on OEM and most aftermarket SN95 shift handles is 1.75x12mm

 

No, it will not fit. Someone on here tried a **** from an 02...

 

The shift **** on the 05 is 1/2" x 20, just checked.

 

I couldn't find the **** I wanted in 1/2", so I drilled out the **** (29/64 drill) and tapped in 1x20 threads.

 

i want to install this one

 

Do you know how it comes threaded? Do they give you the size shaft it fits?

 

I would like a chrome or aluminum colored ball with the shift pattern on it...anyone know where that would be available?

 

OBX Speed Star in chrome, but you will need to contact them to find out
if they have it in 1/2" with a 20 thread. Or buy it and tap it.

 

Thanks Paul, Just looked at it, I dont know about chrome in this interior, maybe satin or aluminum, but i want a ball ,more retro, I dont like all the other shapes out there, to euro/ricey looking for me.

 

The IUP shift **** is aluminum with the shift pattern on it.

 

I bought the round ball in chrome but they also carry titanium.

But it is NOT the round ball!

 

Is this what you want only in a satin type finish?

 

Wild - I like the look of the center stack/consloe/window switch/ trim.....is this available to order? I've got the IUP but not these pieces shown in your photo - thx!!

 

Thank you! See "After market IUP" (long post) about 21 down. Woodview is the company.

 

Yes it is, but the chrome is also growing on me, matches the trim around the vents and gauges...I heard PEP boys carries a chrome one like yours.

 

I found this one over at Scott Drake ,looks retro enough but I haven't checked to see if this is the right shift pattern for the 05 and thread size.

Could well be, if they do, maybe they also carry the titanium one and you can see both to choose from. The web site I got mine from doesn't show the chrome, only black & colors.
