TCI S197 Automatic Shifter - 5.0 Tech Inspection
|
Although the stock shifter looks good, especially with the custom trim treatments that Brandon applied, the unit left a lot to be desired when he started making performance upgrades, as well as driving the S197 aggressively by manually shifting the 5R55S transmission on the street and the strip. After clearing away the center console assembly, Mase removes the bolts, disconnects the wiring, and removes the OEM gear selector. There really isn't any degree of difficulty for the shifter exchange. All that's required are handtools, including a Phillips-head screwdriver; a small, flat-head screwdriver; a socket wrench with a 7mm socket, 10mm deep-well socket, and an extension; and a torque wrench (fasteners must be secured in a criss-cross pattern, with 15 lb-ft of torque). The job does require two quick procedures below the 'Stang, which can be accomplished using a floor jack and jackstands or, of course, a twin-post hoist. View Related Article
