Arronm,

is that a bolt-on to the FG Mal Wood shifter?

No its a BA BF.

It looks like the FG bolts 90 degrees to the shift direction, so a hurst wont fit unless you put a swist in it.

I had better talk to some engineering mates to get this great looking thing installed.

Installed a Aeroflow short shifter in my FG MKII and absolutely love it, gear shifts are nice and tight close together. I did the same as Rancidpunx and changed the oil while I had the car jacked up and the old shifter off the box, I used Castrol Dex III as recommended in the owners manual and also had a use only Dex III sticker on the gear box.

Is that green thing the standard shift stick.

I like the strong spring and the short of the my malwood in my typhoon. Also removing the rubber bush really firms up the feel.

What I dont understand is why people fit a very short stick which reduces the leverage to smash those shifts. Plus its closer to the steering wheel.

Malwood plus hurst.

Where did you get that shifter boot?!
I have the shifter and everything else and cant seem to find a shifter boot anywhere that will fit easily like that!

it doesn't fit easily... when you buy the hurst bar, you get a little bit of plastic that goes around it, which is visible in this pic. The "surround" is the stock one in an F6. :Welcome2FordXR6t:
