One of the most common questions you see in just about every Mustang Forum out there is: "What are the Best Mods to Start With on My Mustang?"

Dollar for Dollar - if you want to take your 4.6 281 over the top, just find yourself a Cobra Engine for Sale, and drop that sucker in! You can find them online, most often on eBay, for less than $5000, and within a few days... you have gone from 220 horsepower to almost 400 in its stock form! By Far - it is the most cost effective power-adder to the Mustang GT you will find!

Not that I don't like the look and feel of the stock shifters in Mustangs, but when you get in that heated red light race and miss third gear just one time, you too, will start looking for an answer! For me, I wanted a new shifter that gave me a positive feel between each gear, a nice short throw (The distance the shifter travels between gears) and most importantly, smooth shifting between gears, so I could bang my way through the gears without missing!

Is Installing a Short Throw Shifter a DIY MOD?

This is really a loaded question - since only you know the skills and tools you have on hand to get it done! On my 99 Cobra, it was literally an hour long project, that was done from within the drivers compartment. On the 2007 427R Roush I now have, it took a bit longer since it was both inside the car as well as under it! Heck, getting the Roush on a jack or ramps was hard enough due to the low body panels and lowered suspension!

Which Shifter to Choose?

Just like everything else in life - you have a choice to make when it comes to buying the right shifter for your mustang.

Pro 5 Mustang Shifters

Pro5 has been in the shifter world for quite a while and they have a loyal following of users in the Mustang community! You can expect to pay around $170-$200 for your Pro 5 Shifter. You can also find some GREAT Pro 5.0 Deals right on ebay, as seen in the 4 items below!

Steeda Tri-Ax Shifters

Steeda brings a whole world of accessories to the Ford Mustang enthusiast, and their line of mustang short throw shifters are another highly popular choise for Modders!

MGW Mustang Shifters

MGW has been my own preferred brand since the first swap I did! I don't recall exactly where I saw my first MGW Short Throw Mustang Shifter... I think it may have been an AutoFair here in Charlotte. Once I took a dry-run through the gears though, I have been hooked ever since!

You will be hard pressed to find an MGW online, except at their website. If you see any listed in the eBay deal window below... get it while it lasts!
