Short throw shifter. In this video I show you how a short shifter works and how to install one in your car. I also compare the difference between a stock shifter and an aftermarket short throw shifter so you can see the drastic improvement in the DriftStang!

*This exact procedure works on 1982-2004 Mustangs with a T5 or T45 manual transmission. The process is similar on most other manual cars.

Watching this even though I have an automatic
I bought the car with all mix matched bolts for the shifter does anyone know what the size is for the four bolts that mount the shifter?
why are subarus so complicated😭
Can you tell me where did you get the shift knob from ?
seems pretty simple but the problem is finding a short throw shifter that specifically works witb your car…
Is the Mustang a ford Mustang
Thank you for these great videos. simple and to the point.
PSSSSHHH… the shifter on my 2009 Honda City feels wayyyy betterrrrr
7 years old damn
If you get a broken car from the junkyard and replace EVERY part, is it still the same car?
How do I remove shifter that is stuck with too much RTV gasket??? My son installed it and im afraid to damage the trans housing if I use hammer.
To be grammatically correct, It's "a lot shorter throw", not "a lot shorter of a throw". Also, "a lot tighter fit", rather than "a lot tighter of a fit". Just delete the of a in both cases and you'll be good to go. Happy Motoring.

Can I use a copper bushing instead of the plastic one he used or should I get the plastic one?
I have a 9090 Ford Mustang is black. I’m miss it.
Should the gears feel a little stiffer?
Just watched this agian,
6-7 years after i saw it the first time, but now, i have a car to work on, insted of dreaming of it!
THANK YOU!
I hope you see this. I was wondering with my car when i shift it leaves and enters new gears realy easily i dont have to apply force. In the video it looks like you have to force it in gear. Is there Maybe something wrong with my shifter or is it just a difrence between cars. I drive a Daihatsu trevis
A mustang not for drifting dude it's a muscle car not a import
I bought a t5 tranny from a dude for like 200$ and he gave me that exact shifter for free with it 😆 big W
I have an MGW tr3650 (race model with the shortest throw) on my 03 GT. I highly recommend it over the Steeda model. Pricey…(I think it's down to $250 now) but very nice and close to the best you can get, throw and overall quality IMO.
Thanks Chris Fix for making me buy my 02 Stang can’t wait to put my shifter in 😮💨
i read “short shitter” and was like “when did the drift stang get a toilet and why???”
I love how EVERY car enthusiast knows the iconic “HEY GUYZ! CHRISFIX HERE!”
6 yrs later i still watch it,old vids of chris just give me nostalgia
Where can I find one for my 99 Dodge Durango
Dude loves his thread locker
This is my favorite mustang, as well as the ‘99-‘04 mustang
Man. I don't even own manual, or a Mustang (Yet), and yet I still watch these when I'm bored.
I like how his mustang has the feature to light a cigarette😂
Does this work the same way on every transmission?
Chris+fix=chrix
Wow man already 6 years….
Switched out the stock gear shift with the same one you got on the video. I also got a new lower boot that seemed cheaply made…all from LMR. Now I am getting some noise that coming up through the gear shifter that wasn't there before. Should I reuse the old lower boot and see what happens? And thoughts as to why I would be getting noise now? I also bought the gasket and the small cup thingy. It shifts great but sounds noisier than before. Not terribly noisy but it is letting sound in now. Thanks
My dad have a 2020 mustang gt
He tried to fix he broke the shifter
ty so much for this video! i bought a 1996 mustang gt and remembered you had made a whole serie on how to modify this car and today i finally installed my pro 5.0 short throw shifter and as a person who never worked too much on his car except the really basic maintenance things, your video helped me so much. i followed your video step by step and everything was super easy to do. funny enough, i broke my dollar store rachet trying to unbolt the same bolt you had issue with😂. after my brother brought more tools, we finished the installation and the improvement it gives was reallly worth it! ❤
My parents be wondering why they keep hearing hey guys chris fix here😂 love the videos very educating anfd entertaining thank you
Tbh I know a church member, he has a seizure and is joe in a wheel chair, he’s selling his 98 mustang gt for a good price I’m thinking of getting it😏
Jesus loves you
wow i missed this makes me happy that i now work on cars after watching you all of these years 🙂
You should make a "How to drive a Manual" tutorial! There's tons on YouTube but I'd love your take.
I wish every car was this easy to replace the shifter
