Gaging interest in resurrecting the Shiftster

[Jim Oaks]

I have one. I used it when I bought a 2000 Ford Ranger 4x4 that was stuck in 4LO. I negotiated the price and then pulled the shift motor, installed the shiftster, and drove it home. That was about 10-years ago.

The only real issue I had was that the factory bolts were too long for the Shiftster (photo above). You can see in the photo below how tall (thick) the base is that the factory bolts go through to hold the motor. That's something that you need to account for. You don't want the thing disengaging from the selector while you're driving down the road.

Iirc, I paid us$50 in 2010. So today 100 isn't out of line.

Hello, yes I do work at a place that makes sand cores for foundries, most of the sand cores are cylindrical that we make. Not any way I could assist in this, there would be so much r&d, tooling, then need a foundry that would work with small orders, $100 for a part that’s already out there seems like a good deal, and lot less headaches.
