Ford 4 Speed Shifter Tear Down
ford 4 speed shifter tear down
Episode 166 Manic Mechanic
We tear down two shifters to make one good one. We bought a parts shifter from eBay to repair the existing four speed shifter on our 1963 Galaxie. The Ford Galaxie 4 speed bench seat shifter is iconic for bare bones raw horse power and we wanted to return the old Battlescared Galaxia to that iconic look. For that we are using the 1962-1964 Fairlane Bench seat four-speed shifter from the folks at AutoKrafters.
