Show original supplier description

The MGW Toploader Series is a premium short throw shifter meticulously engineered for 1982-2004 Ford Mustangs. The 360-degree adjustable handle allows for a customized feel and reach, adapting to your specific driving style and comfort preferences. MGW offers three distinct handle options, each providing a different level of shift reduction: the Race Handle achieves an extreme 35% reduction, the Standard Handle offers a 30% reduction, and the Comfort Handle provides a smoother throw with a 25% reduction and optimal reach. Each shifter comes with one handle of your choice, with additional interchangeable handles available for purchase to suit various driving demands. This shifter is compatible with a wide range of Mustang transmissions from 1982 to 2004, including T5, T45, T56, TREMEC 3550, TR3650, TKO 500/600, and specific configurations of the GT and Cobra models. A detailed table within the product information specifies exact fitment for V6, GT, Cobra, Mach 1, and Bullitt Mustangs across various year ranges. A special note clarifies transmission identification for 2001 Mustang GT models.
