88 Bird in to 86 CAt
Reply #5 –
That's what I did with my '88 Bird.I swapped in a factory floor shifter and console.It turned out great.One problem.....If you break the shift cable,they are made of unobtainium.It took me forever to find a replacement.The Mustang and Turbo Coupe cables are different.That cable has to be unique to the 5.0 Cougar and T-Bird,along with the shift cable bracket that bolts to the tranny tailhousing.I'm buying a T-Bird Sport,and it has a floor shifter in excellent condition.It'll be neatly boxed,marked,and packed away on a high shelf and kept.
