I just received my 5.0 shifter, and the top of the shifter's handle (where the grip screws on) is off-set 20-25 degrees. Is this normal? I'm thinking it was designed this way for better shifts?

Thanks!

Of course it is......sorry but kind of silly question......you are going to love that shifter they say that ones the best. I give you a tip......use a bicycle tube as a gasket and put a good bead of RTV sealent around the base. Good Buy.....get it.

Myn is the same way. I think it's my shifter bushing, ordered one from the Ford place Monday, SEVEN DOLLARS (w/ tax) for that little thing. Oh well, I probably needed it. I hope it's the problem.
