glad to see that someone found them useful. ive been thinking about the T handle since i installed mine, but just have a hard time swapping at this point. i really like the hurst ball.
that was a BITCH to get the new shifter back thru the opening...
and I hoped the clip on the rear mount bolt was just something Ford used during assembly cuz i ripped that MF'er out of there and didn't put it back on.
I know exactly what retaining clip you are talking about and I ripped mine off and left it on the driveway. I need to re-tighten the nuts on the back though. My shifter is starting to rattle when I go above 3k rpms.
