Does anyone know who makes a shifter for a TKO that fits a third genner? I don't have that spacer plate that adapts the Bellhousing to the tranny, mine just lines up and I don't know why. Anyway, I made a shifter that works OK but I want something like my B&M for my t5. Anybody?

A friend of mine put a TKO in his 84Z awhile back and used a 5.0 Mustang shifter with a custom shift plate.

Cool, but my shift lever is also what I want to replace, I want both. I have a Hurst old school chrome lever that I modified and added a 1/2" thick piece of Stainless to space the shifter back about 1 1/2". I don't like the amount of freeplay and I want to see if anyone has modified theirs. I would rather have just one solid shifter lever rather than a bolted together combo. Any ideas.

i am not sure, but does installing an TKO in an f-body rotate it 20* like normal, if so that shifter probably won't work, it is most likely for a mustang. and if the tranny is rotated like normal, then it won't fit.

i friend of mine (Shultzy89GTA) has a TKO, and has a pro-5.0 shifter that is for a TKO in an F-body, i am not sure where he got it from.

I installed a TKO in December and plan on getting the Pro-5.0 shifter soon.
You can buy them here:

My tranny must be rotated because the bottom of the shifter is at the top of the Transmission tunnel. My car was originally an auto and I made a cut to fit a T-5. This TKO sits farther forward by about 1" so I had to make a couple of more cuts to get clearances. Anyway, it is level with the bottom of the car. My Bellhousing must be very different from everyone elses. I just need a shifter that goes back about 2 3/4" from the connection to the transmission. Just a "Z" type bend. Does that make sense ?
