Hey guys, going to pull the T5 from my 1967 to do a little work and got thinking, while it's out, maybe I'd replace the shifter with a knockoff I saw on ebay (Well, I saw many of them). I think they are pro-5.0 shifter knockoffs but can't be sure, not familiar with them really.
Anyone used one (random example, http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUSTANG-T5-...CING-MANUAL-SHORT-THROW-SHIFTER-/301053343979 .. There are different types.. Probably same factory), and if so, problems, praises?
Any engineering deficiencies you encountered? Although there isn't much you can screw up on a shifter, really I suppose, as long as they get the pivot in the correct place, which I hope they did. haha I THOUGHT I read once that someone said the 'pin' was too small and caused a little play, but that can easily be machined.. I'm not sure what they meant by pin, but I can only assume they meant the pivot point that shifter handle rotates about?
Thanks guys!
edit: My mistake, maybe it's a B&M knockoff, not pro?
