A fellow GT owner who doesn't post here often (but reads a lot) is looking to purchase a Ford Short Throw Shifter. I know Jack at Muscle is working on an alternative and I know Jay has the modified ball, but does anyone know of a genuine Ford Racing shifter that might be available?

PM's are fine. Thanks.
 
I was trying to get one in time for the GT Nor CA install, and they weren't able to obtain one for me either. Still waiting for Jack's production.

Good luck - it doesn't seem to be an easy find...But I didn't pursue it aggressively. Hopefully someone will hook you up for this high demand part.
 
I have one and like it a lot. No problems at all.
This is how they should have made the car in the first place.
 
I had a FRPP one on back order since Jan. Just shipped out. I will see it there is any changes since it was rumored that it was discontined or a new vendor was used.
 
Maybe that is good news I have had one on order since January also.
I did not hear back from Jack what the deal was with I think B&M or someone who was going to make a run of them.

I couldn't agree more. Thank you Shadowman for suggesting that I get one when I did. I love this shifter; even better when equipped with Jay's Ball.
 
DBK - not soliciting but I found out that there are shifters out there!

I have the combo: Short throw shifter with Jay's shorter shifter handle neck. The 2 together are great. Shifts are very short, and strangely, I no longer have the dreaded 1-2 grind while the tranny is warming up.
 
Ordered it last week and picked it up today. however the new shift ball is still coming!
canadian order and dealer for accuracy sake.

I ordered one about a month ago from FPP thru Whipple and got it last week so they must be shipping again.
