Drivetrain TKX Shifter Position Question

[fasterthangas]

Those of you who have installed a TKX into a 94-95 GT; how did the TKX shifter sit in relation to your seating position?

What was your solution?

Nobody has installed a TKX in their SN95?

Only SN95 I had was a V6. Hopefully someone else will be along shortly.

Need more info. Do you have a TKX installed and if so what shifter is on it? How tall are you? Is your seat all the way back? How far do you tilt the seat back? If you do have a TKX installed what exactly do you not like about the shifter position?

I'd just like to know where the TKX shifter stub sits compared to the factory T5 shifter stub. Does the TKX shifter stub sit further forward than the factory T5 stub? Normally if a Fox T5 and bellhousing are installed into a 94-95 GT, the shifter stub will sit 5/8" to 3/4" forward of the factory 94-95 position due to the shorter Fox input shaft and shallower Fox bellhousing.

My TKX is not installed yet and I'd like to order an aftermarket shifter before I do. I know where I need the shifter to be while sitting in my fixed seating position.

Thanks.

So they do not make a TKX that has the 3/4” longer input shaft for a 94/95 car. So if you are putting one in it will have to have a Fox bell housing which may or may not work due to the clutch fork position (read clocking). If it will work then it will move the shifter forward 3/4” and it has been documented that in. Fox car it moves the shifter 1” to the passenger side.

Yup, I realize that. That's why I mentioned a Fox T5 and bell housing in a SN95. The Fox T5 sits 5/8" - 3/4" forward when installed in a SN. I'd like to know if a TKX shifter will sit that same distance forward of the SN T5 factory position.

Just like Christmas.
