Testimonials
Installed!
It was installed in a Ford F 150 1993 XL and it worked phenomenal in the C6 Tranny.
Affordable Price
I have a limited budget for the total restoration for my '64 Ford F100 therefore I'm thankful for American Shifter. The product seems to be of very good quality for the affordable price. Can't wait to install it.
Great Product
Shifter works great in my custom 51 Willys. Thanks for the best price and fast shipping!
23 inch dual action shifter for 350
I love my new American Shifter after my old Lokar shifter broke before it's time. I am so thrilled to have chosen the 23 inch shifting rod with the dual bends, it makes driving my 72 classic chevy truck that much more of a gas!
Never Been Disappointed
We’ve purchased numerous shifters from this outfit and we’ve never been disappointed. Great company with outstanding customer service.

Does the shifter kit come with a shift knob?
Yes, all our shifter kits come with a shift knob. Choose your option from the dropdown. Available in standard black or billet deluxe.
If you'd like something different, upgrade to any American Shifter knob or customize your own (may require an adapter).
Is the neutral safety switch included?
Yes! The neutral safety switch is included with the shifter mechanism.
Replacement neutral safety switches for automatic transmission kits can be purchased separately as well.
Does the shifter kit include bolts, washers & lock nuts?
Yes, all hardware needed to install is included.
Does this kit include the side shift adapter?
American Shifter Dual Action Kits include the side detent shifter adapter & detailed instructions on how to install it.
*For Dual Action Shifters only
Replacement or upgrade side shift adapters can be purchased separately as well.
Can I mount the shifter kit multiple ways?
Yes! The American Shifter top plate supports multiple mounting positions, allowing front-, mid-, and rear-mounting of the shifter mechanism. Choose the ideal mounting position for your installation.
Additionally, the adjustable shifter assembly brackets allow the shifter assembly to be tilted forward and backwards to give additional clearance at the seat or dash if needed.
What is the minimum space required between the floor and the mounting bracket for a transmission mount application?
We recommend a minimum of 1/4” between the brackets and the floor pan in any application with any shifter kit to allow for twist of the transmission under a load. Most applications will have more than this.
How do I know what arm length to choose?
The correct length of shift arm for your application can be measured out ahead of time.
With the transmission installed, measure down through the hole in the floor to the top of the transmission, holding the tape measure where the shifter knob would be comfortable. Subtract 5.5” from the measurement and that would be the length of shifter arm needed.
Do you have boot kits that fit these shifter kits?
Yes! American Shifter’s boot kits include all you need to dress up your shifter. Boots are made of real Naugahyde material.
Shop Boots, Bezels and Ring Sets. Available in several colors and finishes.
Do you sell emergency brakes that work with these?
Yes! American Shifter’s vertical transmission mount emergency brakes will work on any American Shifter kit. They are setup to bolt up to the transmission.
These handbrakes offer superior performance with a classic design. Features a chrome steel handle, heat treated ratcheting cut gear & lock and a machined push button with optional o-rings. Available in 2 sizes.
Do I need to order a trans gear selector shaft kit for Ford AOD transmission?
Our instructions cover adapting your Ford AOD shifter arm with no extra parts.
However, you can upgrade your shifter kit and make fine tuning easy with American Shifter’s patent pending Ford AOD adapter. This additional selector shaft allows you to fine tune your shift linkage for smoother shifting.
Does the Powerglide shifter require floor/hump alteration to install like cutting?
The shifter mounts to the transmission and would need a minimum 2” hole for the shift arm to come through. This hole is covered by the trim ring and boot.
Some smaller vehicles with very little space between the transmission and the hump may require light modification to allow for clearance.
Will this kit work on a 4 Wheel Drive application?
Our shifter kits are designed to work on 2WD applications. However, our shifter kits can be used on 4WD applications with a simple modification to the rear mounting brackets.
Contact our technical support for additional fitment questions or concerns.
