In Reply to: What kind of shifter should I put in my 73?? posted by Jeri on June 01, 2000 at 21:46:38:
If it was the stock shifter that broke, you may want to look in the Junk yards to find another one. Most Mustang's, Pinto's, Capri's, Cugar's and any model with 2 doors came with Factory Floor shifters and you can get one of these for less than $20.00. Plus the factory shifter looks better than the after market ones do. Also what part of the country are you from? Maybe one of the board members can help you out with buying and installing the shifter.
