Hi Folks;
A few may recall I run a reverse valve body, full manual, non-decompression 1st, 2800 stall C-4 in my 64.5. I'm about 5 foot 8 inches tall and have never been happy with the stock shifter geometry of the early stangs. I have tried several cable shifters and due to the high pressure of the tranny, I stretch the cables...and believe me you do not want to over-shift third, even in a reverse VB C4...it ports fluid to reverse...a costly and somewhat painful experience.
So.....
I am about to the point where I am going to fab my own shifter (mechanical linkage!) to raise and bring backward the shift handle to a more comfirtable position. I am hoping that someone else has already improved this part of the old stangs and can give some help!
