has anyone put a floor shifter on their maverick? I wanted to see what a few looked like in the car, maybe get a few suggestions
B&M Street Demon (I think that is what it is called). Originally mounted at an angle so I was shifting straight away from my body (as pictured when I first put it in), but it is now straight forward. I will eventually build a console around it.
I don't have pics, but I have used Megashifter and Z-Gate. Cable shifters are great because you don't have to put a large hole in your floor. Just a couple screws to mount the shifter and a small hole to push the cable through. I found the Megashifter a little hard to operate, probably overpriced as well. The Z-Gate was inexpensive and simple to operate. The 'console' of the shifter was a little less frilly, but I liked it. My .02 Dave Edit: The less frilly console of the Z-Gate was a plus. The Mega was much more expensive, but had a lot of frills, that is why I said "overpriced". The frills were also a liability as well, the parts were cheaply made and not durable. The gear indicator didn't work very long. The Z-Gate had the gears cast right into the cover, no mechanisim to break. Simple.
i looked it up on jegs, thats a pretty good looking shifter for that price. will I need that back-up lights switch too? http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?lang=-1&catalogId=10002&storeId=10001&categoryId=15041
I have the Hurst V Matic, try to get you a pic tommorrow. About the same as a B&M. I got mine off eBay for about $50
That pic reminds me that it looks best with a custom handle. I never put the black handle on mine. I bought an aluminum T-handle when I bought the shifter. It's a matter of taste I suppose. You could put just about any aftermarket handle on there I suppose. No frills shifter... Dave
Most, if not all of these, come with internal reverse light and neutral safety switches. Just read the product description to verify this.
Maybe the go bad? My Pro stick didn't come with one, so maybe its just certain ones come w/ the switch. But as far as shifters go... I'll never own anything other than a B&M Pro stick... great shifter I've had a megashifter and a hammer shifter... both were ok but i like the simplicity of the B&M shift pattern...(not fond of ratchet shifters)
