hurst shifter question
 

I finally got my '96 GT convertible from the shipper's today. Already I can't stand the stock shifter. Will the Hurst shifter from my '94 GT fit the '96s T-45?

Yes. It is the exact same shifter for both.

Well, that is going to be an extremely well-spent fifteen minutes. Thanks!!!

The Hurst shifter didn't work. Once installed this morning, it would not go into 1st, 3rd, or 5th gears. 2nd, 4th, and reverse worked fine. I first thought that the stops were too close, but that wasn't the problem. So I took it off and re-used the stock shifter.....yuck!!!

Well, it should. It's the exact same part number for both cars.

the spacer....
 

I have a '97 GT and i use the Hurst shifter. It should have come with a thin metal spacer, that should be used with a T-45. Other than that, i dont know what to tell ya, it should have worked..

I fogot to mention a pretty important piece of info. The shifter was originally bought for a '83 GT. When I got the '94 a year or so ago, I swiped the Hurst from the '83 and used it on the '94. Now that I have the '96, I tried to use the same shifter. All the catalogs do show different part numbers for the Fox cars. I forgot about its history. Sorry, guys.

Thanks for everyone's input.

P.S.--The correct Hurst (for '94-up) is on the way!
