: :there is normally a mounting plate that the shifter uses to mount itself to the trans rear tail shaft. Then you have the rubber boot to cover up the hole in the floor. The shifter rods are probably different from the Stang to the Mav. You can always bend them to fit also. Not a problem or just use a hammer and bang the floor out enough to clear the rods.

: Hi again. I was wondering if the 68 Mustang floor shifter is different than a Maverick floor shifter? And is it my imagination or is there just not enough room in the tranny tunnel of my 70?I have measured everything out but it sure seems to be a very tight fit , someone even mentioned a metal plate , I assume this goes between the floor and the shifter to allow enough clearance?I also am going to pull the valve body out so I can flip over the linkage so I want to make sure I get everything right so I don't have to do it again, do I use the Maverick shifter arm on the trans. (it is curved) or do I use a Mustang(68) (straight arm) because I am using the Mustang shifter, and is there a exclusive to Maverick shift rod because mine is a little tight? Thanks , sorry for all the questions but I want to get it right the first time. :)
