i have a 03 f150 4x2 5 spd, i cant seem to find a short throw shifter anywhere. it looks like maybe on from a ranger of the same year might work. does any one have any idea where i can find one.

 

Why do you want a short one?

 

if you have ever driven a car or a truck with one you would want one. i feels awesome! i also read it helps with 3rd and 5th gear changes, which if you have one are a problem with grinding because of the shifter.

 

I've got a 5 speed in my truck and I think a longer shifter would be better

 

do you know what it is? its physicly not any shorter but the throw between gears is much shorter and tighter. no wiggling of the shifter

 

1st of all I have dibs if anybody has one they would like to sell, been looking for about 5 years.

Hurst is the only one to make them. The f150 is pn 3915026 for the 97-03's. the earlier body styles is pn 3915025 and will work but the handle is not bent correctly for our trucks but could be fixxed with a torch and a vice. The ranger base will work pn 3915020 but the handle is wayyyy to short. Again if anybody has one please please please send it my way lol
Hope you have better luck than I have finding one. Hurst discontinued them many many moons ago and every place I have ever seen them listed has been out of stock.

 

how is it not bent correctly on the old style? too far, not enough? can i i buy one made longer of the ranger one

 

Not bent enough, yes you can buy another handle but try are almost as much as the entire shifter. I am toying with the idea of making my own handle for a hurst ranger shifter once I find one reasonable enough like under 200 bucks.

But I may be doing to magnum t56 swap and wouldn't need it then!

 

I may sell mine. Just reply here.

 

Let me know when your ready I'll buy it
