Some guy with a Mondeo, I believe is Handle is Isben said he bought one and had to do some modding to get it to fit. Something about an adapter plate and cutting an extra hole in the console. Cap, when you contacted steeda, did they mention anything about this? Might it be a good idea to find out for sure before-hand? thanks Moose 1998 Black 3L Contour SVT Sweet Home Alabama

Also, you can disable the reverse lockout feature very easily if you would like to go with a different knob. One that uses set screws to attach it to the shift lever. Also, glad to be of help on this group buy folks! Money doesn't always bring happiness. People with ten million dollars are no happier than people with nine million dollars ~ Hobart Brown

They are sending me a kit for 65 bucks (they sell them for 69 usually) so I can do a test trial. If it works, I'll let everyone know. They also said that they'd cut it to 60-65 or so (depending on the number ordered) if we were interested in a group buy. I'll let everyone know as soon as I get it if they're any problems w/ istallation, and I'll post pics. thanks Moose 1998 Black 3L Contour SVT Sweet Home Alabama
