Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it guys. I just installed this exact shifter in a 2017 GT following your instructions in this video. For anyone watching this how to video, you do not need to unbolt the driveshaft from the transmission but definitely remove the driveshaft arrier bearing mount and lower the transmission to gain the proper access. This is not that difficult of a job I performed the work on my garage floor. The shifter is a major improvement over the stock unit. I have not missed a shift yet under any engine load and the throws are much improved. 2 thumbs up Steeda

[@SerendipitousProducts]

71Rcode what about noise and heat?

[@Taylorek2011]

Yo you're the real MVP. I did exactly as you said and it went great.

[@Kings6261]

this video was well done but as soon as he got underneath the car and started removing exhaust drive shaft and tranny I was like he'll no. I ain't touching all that lol. I still finished the video tho haha

[@SerendipitousProducts]

Kings6261 right, I was like oh damn.

[@JuanPulid0]

Same here. Hell naw. Since youre there change the clutch if planning on going boost

[@rustylozanolpc4227]

Lol!!!!

[@Taylorek2011]

Really not that hard

[@dant-rex1727]

I would say if your going to do this modification, add some other fun things to do with it. Like a new exhaust or new shifter ball and a new shift boot

[@YNTGUNS]

Wow i miss the good old days of sitting in the car and finishing the whole job and now i might want to take it to the shop lol. But i do prefer these new mustangs rather than the old slow ones haha.

[@TTE720Audi]

My Stang feels like a new car between this and whiteline’s trans bushing upgrade. Nice and solid!

[@ricardopalma3714]

thanks, Bill. these videos are therapeutic for me 👍✊ 🐎

[@jastanger]

I want to be Bill when I grow up.

[@ToG_7]

Hey Bill, you gotta torque spec for the 3 driveshaft bolts? Great video!

[@clark450f1107]

is it just me or is this well done install video freaking ridiculous. I mean come on drop the full exhaust and drive shaft and partial tranny drop. all for a 30 reduced throw. I'm all for shorter throws but damn. felt like I was doing a motor swap.

[@stevenp3176]

Dwayne Clark Agreed I miss the days of removing the shift boot and a few bolts.

[@nickl8830]

lol

[@Black-vw8xn]

Dude you clearly don't even have a mt82 so why the fuck are you watching this video?

[@carlosandresh__]

Any ideas as to why my 1st and 2nd gear don’t go in easily it takes a lot of force

[@1slow5.03]

I got the mgw shifter. It's the best one you can get for s550 in my opinion.

[@66blacksunshine]

Are you using calibrated elbow, or the German good and tight.

[@asfgvjignbcguy8898]

@CJ Pony Parts do a video on how to install/fix emergency brake on 95 mustang gt gracias

[@timonatuiletoa8386]

This’ll probably be the first I would do After purchase of the car.✅

[@tyrusjohnson8522]

didn't catch the portion where the parts removed from the orignal were used on the steeda.

[@Golfteetime84]

I'll just GT350...great video!

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

Yeah I'm gonna have to find someone with a shop for this..

[@romanh8256]

Omg...when I did my short throw shifter in my fox and and sn95 it was SO easy compared to this. Jeez!!!!

[@barano9729]

Man that repetitive guitar riff was mind numbing.

[@Raorl1734]

I’m thinking I can do this on jack stands, can anyone that has done this confirm if it can be done .I have a good set of tools and know my way around the car for a weekend mechanic

[@mrksts1]

Bill, can the Tri Ax shifter be used with a Blowfish bracket?

[@Zerogivengarage]

I have not tried so I cannot say for sure but based on the design of it I think it could work.

[@Kevin-fh9dk]

I'm curious, what happens if you don't line the drive shaft up the same?

[@johningle1959]

You roll the dice...not recommended.

[@brianmef71]

You have to go though all that to change a shifter in the new model Mustangs?! OMG.

[@06032011ak]

Brian M same lol

[@leonardoaragones2738]

Thanks for your help

[@dakoolguy111]

I did a track day with my S550 2015 model and now the gear shifter has at least 4" of sloppy looseness in and out of gear most of the time (it sometimes firms up while driving momentarily but then loosens back up), and the stick grinds/makes momentary chewing noises when moving into a gear position especially 2 3 and 4 sometimes. Would installing these parts fix these issues in addition to the performance and strength benefits?

[@itshugby9830]

i have this same problem … did it work for you if u did it? i know this is 7 months later .. lol

[@dakoolguy111]

@Its Hugby currently selling the car, never installed any shifter on the transmission. I did however put the BG mT82 transmission fluid in it and it certainly helped reduce the grinding issues and now it only grinds and locks out sometimes

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

This seems like the best way to do any mods to the shifter.. This isn't something I want to do in a driveway.. YOU need a lift along with tall jack stands for trans.. and there's no way my fat hands are going to work around that exhaust...

[@gorillazgarage7482]

What do you say about Tri ax vs Barton?

[@Zerogivengarage]

Both do a really good job, I chose the Barton because I liked the option to mount to the transmission instead of the body.

[@Kekszbelow]

I had a Fiesta ST before and thought the short throw shifter turned it into a totally different car. It was such an easy and quick install and I expected the same from my stang but hell naaah I'm not going through all of this for a little shifter. Rather replace the whole gearbox while I'm at it

[@Fleurlean4]

Good luck swapping to a tremec that looks like it has its own complexities

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

Where do I find someone to do this for me??????

[@chiefaj4745]

PP mustang gt or base model GT? Is the PP worth it? Hard to find one in my area 🙀

[@5.0mustangloser]

Yes , pp

[@Black-vw8xn]

Pp1 or 2 definitely worth it

[@johningle1959]

I'm starting with the PP2 - the wish list is much shorter, and gets serious more quickly. 😁

[@gracilism]

So why does the stock shifter hurt the reliability of the MT-82?

[@Zerogivengarage]

The long throws and poor feel make it a lot easier to miss shifts.

[@larrygarner7578]

Not to bring an old comment back to life.. but this shifter still has the same problem the stock one did.. it locks out of shifts at high rpm due to flex as the trans moves down in the back but tail shaft of the shifter is mounted to the body and doesn’t move.. causing the linkage to bind up.

[@Black-vw8xn]

@@larrygarner7578 you want to avoid high RPM lockout completely then do a one peice flywheel and McCloud clutch

[@SerendipitousProducts]

Bill how about a video of driving after install. I keep reading lots of heat and added noise are the two biggest complaints.

[@cjponyparts]

That was a customers car so I no longer have access but we can do that in the future. A more solid shifter can transmit a little more noise but it shouldn't be bad.

[@SerendipitousProducts]

Thanks Bill. Mine is on the way, so I think there are more pros to cons.

[@davelazaro846]

@@SerendipitousProducts have u installed yours? Any noise/NVH from new short shift? Ur overall opinion?

[@SerendipitousProducts]

@@davelazaro846 I still haven’t been so busy. I am hoping to install it soon. I will say it took a while to get when I posted steeda had to make parts.

[@zachmaxwell9978]

Please wear safety glasses, would be a shame to not be able to look at your Mustang anymore :)

[@mu0325]

will this fit a 2016 v6 manual?

[@cjponyparts]

unfortunately no, Steeda only offers these shifters for the GT or EcoBoost

[@gigi9467]

mu0325 u made me get a gt now... haha jk, but i did trade it in for 17 gt, any parts to save weight.on the gt thats what am concentrating.on this year.

[@jjfps_69]

You accidentally messed up the O-ring and it came un done you didn’t notice and still installed it

[@brooklyndon29]

Do they make a shifter that looks like that for automatics?

[@Zerogivengarage]

We offer the Hurst shifter handle for the auto. www.cjponyparts.com/hurst-shift-handle-pistol-grip-automatic-v6-ecoboost-gt-2015-2017/p/ASH12/

[@brooklyndon29]

Bill Tumas not a big fan of those. Want some thing that sits lower and looks more like a manual shifter.

[@asfgvjignbcguy8898]

Bill Tumas hey man can you do a tutorial on how to install/ fix emergency brake on a 95 mustang. I think it's the wire but I don't know how fix it

[@ShuffIePath]

Why would you like it to look like a manual shifter if it's not a manual?

[@rbd8659]

why dont you buy an actual manual instead of being a wannabe who cant actually drive stick

[@ruslanarzu]

2 cars in this video, ocd kicked in

[@Zerogivengarage]

Not sure what you mean but the entire install was done on one car.

[@cartdog1978]

It would be awesome if you would do a lambo door kit install.

[@fatashreviews5670]

He did in 2001

[@randyedwards5055]

If you do not want to get screwed I highly recommend not ordering anything from CJ pony parts try to send a part back they wanted to charge me $100

[@s0bad]

Might as buy a new car at this point
