It was installed in a Ford F 150 1993 XL and it worked phenomenal in the C6 Tranny.
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.
Shifter works great in my custom 51 Willys. Thanks for the best price and fast shipping!
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!
We’ve purchased numerous shifters from this outfit and we’ve never been disappointed. Great company with outstanding customer service.

See our pan bolt patterns image in our Shifter Kit Guide to determine the transmission by the shape of the transmission oil pan and the number of bolts holding it on.
Based on your application selection, your kit will include all appropriate brackets for your transmission. The American Shifter top plate supports multiple mounting positions, allowing front, mid, and rear mounting of the shifter mechanism. So you can 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.
Some minor modifications may be required depending on your build.

American Shifter Kits include:
Yes, all our shifter kits come with a shift knob. Choose your option from the dropdown. Available in standard black or billet deluxe.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
