[FatDan]

just a little something to add class to my interior until i get the quick silver by b&m

[PurpleMystique]

Yeah...class...

[FatDan]

so is it possible or are you just making fun of me

[PurpleMystique]

Making fun.

[FatDan]

oh ok you know there is a way you know that right

[CSVT1214]

I feel dumber after reading your posts and signature.

[hotdimmes]

I'll only tell you if you get "foot" shaped gas and brake pedals to match. and fuzzy dice.

[PurpleMystique]

And a chain link steering wheel!

[hotdimmes]

And a van...made of weed.

[FatDan]

i would do it all to if my car would pass inspection with the Chane steering wheel


and I'm getting left and right foot prints

fat Dan please work on your spelling and proper punctuation. it just makes no sense.

we can't really understand you at all.

well i bet you didn't know I'm in 10th grade learning sapourt

so for real i can spell to good and my grammar is a little bit of I'm sorry

[PurpleMystique]

Uh...what?

I like the look of an 8 ball shifter myself, although dan, I'm not sure it fits looks wise in a contour. 30's ford or 50's chevy, yeah, but 90's sedan? I just don't know.
I think your biggest problem would be the button on the shifter you have to press to get out of park. With some internet seraching you may be able to find an 8 ball shifter designed to work with an automatic. I'd recomend some of the companies that supply more to street rods and hot rods, like Gennie shifter or lokar. But again, I'm not sure how good it would look. To me it needs to be on a long shift lever to look good, like chrysler did with the PT cruiser. Let us know how it goes (even if most of the guys on here will flame you instead of help you)

i know your 16. i am a bad speller myself. you can do spell check on this site. just go into your settings and then download "IEspell" i think its called.

if you don't do this and get your spelling right your going to have a hard time getting help on here. I'm not making fun of you I'm trying to help.

[PurpleMystique]

Too bad spell check doesn't catch "your" and "you're" errors, too.

thats true. but at least you can understand what I'm saying.

way off topic but, I was in high school with a kid. he could not read or right very well. this was not his fault. he could not help it. after he graduated a guy made fun of him because he could not read. he came back and shot and killed him. yes this is a true story. and i even sat next to him. moral of the story is sometimes you cant help it.

I think the real moral of the story is stick to making fun of people over the internet. And spell check also doesn't catch "right" and "write" errors.

It won't work. Not only do you need the park release button, but there is the O/D on/off button located on the shifter.

[SVTJON87]

quick silver will not work either.
Ford: C4, C6, AOD

you don't have any of those

iirc those are 5.0 mustang trannys.

Yep, I put one in the Zetec I'm driving right now, and it's reeeally blue. My sister doesn't like them. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I'll use them in my SVT.

couldnt you just move the o/d on/off button somewhere else and find a shifter head with a park release? think it would be as easy as finding a new mounting spot , a push button switch and extra wire? not sure though at least on the constique , i did that on my old supra though

I was thinking to do that, but how do I remove the shifter handle. I tried unscrewing the little black screw on the side and pulling the handle out, but no luck.
I tried unscrewing the whole shift all together, no luck

how do I remove the darn thing?

use a dremal tool put a cut off bit on and cut the piece in half , thats how i took my girlfriends shifter and e-brake off , just be carefull

[alex894]

might as well save a trip to home depot and cut it with a hacksaw, but you bring a good idea. thanks

8 ball shifter = white trash. Nuff said.
