can someone post pictures and links to where you got your custom shift *****..i want to trick my interior out and the shift **** seems like somethin that would be simple and cheap to change out

 

jegs, or summit racing have shifter *****, all blingy and everything, perfect for your application!

 

do u know if they are splined or threaded

 

The **** is threaded on. On the last floor shifter I had I "liberated" a tap handle from a local bar (Red hook ESB was the name of the beer). Then I drilled out the old threads and then cut new threads so the tap handle would screw onto the shifter.

 

the beer tap sounds cool..but i want a round shifter ball.but all the ones i have seen are threaded

 

and the one on thefloor is splined

 

then all you need to do is make the hole in your new handle just slightly smaller than the shaft. Then put some towels on the ball and hammer it down tight. The handle on my reloading press is slip fit and I hammered it on, now I can lift my table by the handle, so it will hold on your transfer case. Should you want more, you can epoxy it too or if your really crafty you can use a release agent (cooking PAM oil works pretty on JB weld) on your splined shaft, build it out with an epoxy and thread your new epoxy adapter for the handle.

 

im in a machine shop class at school could i just run a die down the shaft to the end of the spines and then thread on my new shift ****,seems like it would be pretty simple

 

When I was in high school, I used time in shop class to drill out an 8 ball to make a shifter **** for my F-100. I just kind of twisted it onto the shifter and it self tapped, held up really good for several years. When I tried to put it in my new 95 F-150, the shifter was a little bigger and caused the 8 ball to split in half. Right now I have an aluminum shifter ball with LED's in it. It's a little ricey, but since the top half unscrews it makes for a real handy flashlight. I was amazed how bright 6 LEDs could be. If I turn it on at night, it blinds me in 2nd and 4th gear.

 

i go back to school monday been off on spring break all week,im gonna talk with the teacher and see what he thinks, i may just end up ordering a pistol grip shift **** for it and drill the threads out and cross dirill it and put some button head set screws in it
