Pro 5.0 Performance Shifter Install - Tower Of Power

Lift the stock shifter out as shown.

Protect the transmission's internals with a clean rag as shown, then scrape off the old gasket material with a putty knife.

This is the T5 shifter rail. As you can see, it's easy to understand.

For '94-'01 Mustangs, this dust boot must be trimmed as shown to accommodate the Power Tower.

After you've lubricated the shifter ball and rail with white grease, install the Power Tower.

Don't forget a thin film of silicone sealer between the shifter and the transmission. Hand-tighten the four bolts.

Torque the four bolts to 10-15 lb-ft. Crisscross your torquing process from upper left to bottom right, then upper right and lower left. Then check your work.

Adjust the shifter stops next. Push the shifter firmly into First gear and hold. Turn the stop bolt inward until it just touches the shifter handle. Then back off one full turn and set the locknut. The First/Third gear stop works for these gears. Then, adjust the bottom stop bolt the same way. Put the shifter in Second gear and do the same thing for Second and Fourth gears.

The protective boot goes back in like this for '94-'01 Mustangs.

The console goes back together like this.

Screw the shifter knob on, and you're finished. A testdrive is a good idea at this time.
