Thanks Bob, sorry if I offended anyone. It isn't really that bad of a shifter, I was probably just naive in thinking it would be more original than it is.

It's in my office and as I shift through the gears periodically throughout the day (vroom vroom sound optional) it does seem to be loosening up slightly.

I think one _could_ get a reproduction / rebuilt mustang shifter and modify the handle to be more authentic. But you'd probably have $600 - $700 in it by the time you were done. Not sure I'm quite there yet, will just live with this one a while and see.

Thanks, Chuck
