Shift knob and reverse lockout collar options?

[blue_snek]

Hey all, just got my car last week and am looking at changing a few things I'm not a huge fan of. Anyone have any shift knob recommendations? Also, are there any billet reverse lockout collars for the GT350? I've looked around and only found ones that fit V6/Ecoboost/GT, but none that are comparable with the Shelby.

MGW shifter eliminates the whole plastic lock-out thing. Just an idea as I don’t know if any aftermarket ones for our car. As for shift knob, that’s all personal preference. I’ve had three only to end up full circle back with the stock one. None I tried I thought matched the interior like the stock one. It just “fits”.

Any collar lockout for the S550 would also work for the GT350. Same style. Raceseng just came out with a very nice billet one

Steeda and Barton also make billet versions.

There's a huge thread on shift knobs with lots of pictures. I personally went with http://www.lathewerks.com and am very happy with my titanium shift knob.

How does reverse work on the MGW then? Is it just able to be freely put into reverse or do they have their own lockout system integrated into their design? I've done some research on the MGW kit and will likely get one sometime in the near future, but I haven't been able to find any info about shifting into reverse.

Yeah that's what I've seen as well. Apparently there's some kind of difference between the GT350/R lockout collar and the EB/V6/GT collar. Every time I've shopped for one there's a disclaimer saying "*this product is not compatible with GT350 and GT350R models". So I'm not sure what to do about that aside from going with an MGW, I really don't like the cheap feeling of the stock lockout collar.

Its push down to reverse

Its push down VERY hard to reverse

Correction made above

I really don't think it's that hard to push down, just very different than the standard lockout. Hard or not, it's worth the upgrade.

Regardless of semantics, you will most certainly not inadvertently select reverse with the MGW, and with the design you will not be stranded without reverse from a collar lock breaking. Has happened to more than one friend.
