And true they can be expensive but your getting genuine/new parts and if your XRt is a keeper, that's the way to go I recon. Especially if it's cosmetic/interior parts you seeking.

Heaps better than the stock shifter and don't really notice any more noise over the stock shifter setup. 4 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92914-replacement-gear-knobballstick-for-fg-manual/page/6/#findComment-1643108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it did not show up in my unread list. Anyways, I wanted to place an update in here. Ozywalker, thanks for the update. That just looks mint. So at the end of last year, the shifter felt weird. I found this Yeah the wrench strap had fell apart again for the 3rd time. I was over it and had to come up with a plan. Spoke to a mate at work that does metal fabrication and welding. as per image above there is no support. his quick suggestion was something like this: he gave me a whole bunch of blank plates. I know a few of you are going to have a fit cause they are not centered. I have limited tools to work with. one of them is not a vice grip. The other issue was having sh*tty drills. I did what I could. this should give you an idea what one side looked like before I put it all together. This is the final product. There are two plates in there. looks like it is only one, but it is not. This has made things quiet again and no loose feeling either. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92914-replacement-gear-knobballstick-for-fg-manual/page/6/#findComment-1651220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undo rear gearbox mount and lower a bit. This will make access easier. Dont worry about Keith , it's been so long for him. He forgot how to work on cars.

Just undo the gearbox mount and lower it down a bit with a jack.
