Is it possible to switch out the Automatic (PRNDS) trim bezel to one from a manua!? I mean we already have the electronic PRNDS on the dash.

I’m planning to switch to a WMgarage shifter Knob. This would make it a lot nicer.

Thoughts?

Yes. I did the same swap.

You will simply remove the top collar from the auto shift boot and swap it into the manual shift boot. Superglued the collar back in place.

It's item 5 at the bottom of the page. It's around $55 depending on the trim you want.
You will need to modify the boot leather to complete the swap. The boot is glued to the bezel and has a collar that connects onto the manual shifter. I bought a new shift boot from RedLine Goods
https://www.redlinegoods.com/
You then separate the chrome bezel from the base and remove the manual shift boot. Glue the new boot to the base and glue the bezel back on.
Finally you will some type of finish on the top of the boot. I simply installed my boot upside down (the normal way to do it) and used a tie wrap to hold it around the shifter. You fold it down and snap it in place. Unplug the wire for the light on the auto indicator and push it down out of the way.
I did mine 3 years ago and its my DD and haven't had a problem.
Here's a link to the original thread.

Thanks for the guide and links! Just switch out mine out on my 2019 GT, but didn’t need the additional leather boot. I just used the one that came with the manual bezel. I removed the top clip and tie strapped the boot to my shifter and viola! Very easy and straight forward swap.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to remember the specific part number for that shift boot, would you? I keep finding 3 or 4 different variations:
JR3Z-7277-EA
JR3Z-7277-FA
JR3Z-7277-GA

Looking to do this. What is required to remove the top clip? And which shifter did you purchase, is that the original S550 shifter from WMGarage?

You guys are the reason it was so hard for me to search for a mustang to buy. When the ad said automatic but the pic said manual, and the confirmation from the seller said automatic hahhah. Looks good though!

I did it for looks and theft prevention. By the time someone figures that shit out I’ll have a shotgun to their head 😁

So just to confirm you used the Shifter conversion from AM and then ordered the shifter boot from Ford? Did that boot come with a bezel? On that AM kit can you use a standard ball or is it a different size? I know it comes with a ball but thinking about getting a custom one made
