I've got a 1991 Ranger. The splines on the inside of the shift **** are stripped out and the **** spins and comes off easily. One time during some spirited shifting (aka fooling around with my friend) I actually yanked off the **** and through it out the sliding rear window and into the bed.

So, I want to replace it. What options do I have? Most ***** I see are hideous. Ideally, I'd like to replace it with a factory one, but there apparently isn't a huge market for these.

I was thinking of modifying my existing stick and attaching a Hurst Pistol Grip stick to it. But, with the cost of a Husrt Pistol Grip, that's out of the question. I mean, one of those would cost about the value of the whole truck. lol.

I need some help folks. If you can, post up some pictures of other factory Ford shift ***** that will fit. Also, some links of places that sell ***** that fit the Ranger would be great.

Thanks a million!

 

there is a hurts shifter for rangers...

 

Yeah, I saw it on Jegs. I don't really want to spend $200+. Besides, I just need a new ****.

 

If you can weld/ have access to a welder, you could make your own shifter arm and weld the right size nut on the end and put your own **** on it like I did.

 

Wow! I checked out your cardomain page. That pistol grip shifter looks awesome!

 

the coolest one ive seen so far is a buddy of mine used dummy handgrenades on his dodge ram He used an old pinaple grenade on a 90 degree on the tranny like a t handle , and a regular baseball grenade on the t case it looks cool though

 

Thanks for the responses guys. I guess for now, I'll just put a set screw into my **** to hold it in place. Maybe down the line, I throw in a Hurst shifter. That way I can get some of those cool "Hurst Equipped" badges. lol.

Thanks again.

 

I just ordered this from UPR Products...the black and silver 5 speed emblem one:http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=618

mine isn't just loose, the base is actually cracked.
Its shipped, should be here Tuesday...which would be great, since the loose wobbly cracked one is drivin me CRAZY.

 

just got and installed it, looks great, and is rock solid.
A little differnt shape, and feels great in the hand too.
glad to have a non-loose shift **** again.

I can post an installed pic in the morning if anybody wants one...

 

you could try a junkyard for another ranger handle

 

If you find a spare stock **** somewhere, you could always try my mod...

the lit **** is pretty neat!

as for the stock ****/handle, all the ***** will eventually fail, I guess you could keep buying replacement shifter handles and *****...:D

 

I just used a bit of electrical tape to increase the friction between the two... haven't had a problem with mine ever since (been a year now I think)

 

which one did u get? am interested in an installed pic i am thinking of getting one of these

 

I got the black and silver since my truck is a Black XLT with a little bit of chrome...
early morning pic, with flash

the **** goes right to the top of the boot, and is nicely smooth.
the set screw is hiddn under the silver ring which threads on.
