b&m pro ratchet is the ****, I had one in the cobra before I went to the 'glide and it's definately the way to go for a 3 speed on the street or at the track.

I put one in the ashtray for a customer a while back- fits pretty cool It takes a lot of sizing up and cutting but in the end it does look bitchin! The only issue is on your car Paul relocated the climate control so that would need to find a new home. Maybe back home? Anyway +1 vote for puttin it in the ashtray

I like the B&M Hammer myself. And they even make one that fits nicely in the fox console.

Used to have a B&M Hammer shifter on my Blue Mustang. Fits like a glove and no cutting of anything. Works like a charm too.
Here is a picture of it on the car,sorry for the clutter....lol

Jordan I was going to go with the B&M Hammer before we swapped, just make sure you get like a Lentec or PA valve body with the o/d delete, or your going to have to shift a lot going from first into second and then lift the handle to go back into first to hold out second.......damn I think I just confused myself.

Ya actually we did and it was an awesome trade in that the '98 has so much more room for me to get my wheelchair in and out and it's so much fun to drive. I think I can count on two fingers how many times I did the 1-2-1 shift as I heard it was bad on the trans and would rather buy a cheap v/b then have to re-build the trans.

I could not think of a better person to trade with then Jordan as it's awesome to see such a well built car to such an enthusiest.
