Can you use an Automatic shifter bezel in a manual car.

I'm trying to track down a silver IUP shifter bezel from an '03-04.

I found one but it's from an Automatic. Is it possible to attach the shifter boot from my stock shifter bezel to it or are there other differences?

Does someone have a good shot of the underside of their automatic bezel? Anything to attach it to??

I can't answer your question, I don't think it will work, but who is that chick in your avatar?

Have you tried Mustangpartsspecialties.com they have everything I'm sure you can find your part there. Anyway I dont see why you couldnt use the one from a auto use whatever you want to attach the leather boot to the bezel (hot glue, rubber seal ect...) if I am thinking of the correct part you are talking about.

I doubt it, the leather (pleather) boot that goes around the shifter gets wedged into the bezel. On the automatic the bezel just sits on top of the bottom of the shifter plate (pain in the butt to clean too)

You could just glue it underneith

I just wanted to make sure that there was no other differences, like a smaller hole or something like that

I'll measure the 2 just to make sure, but they are 96-98 bezels FYI, should be the same fitment 94-04

Well the bezels are exactly the same when it comes to the hole size, they just have different metal rings to attact to either of the foam or leather boot

You can just break off the tabs holding the rings on them, switch them over and melt plastic back onto the tabs

That's my plan!
