Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Loose Shifter Bolts

« on: July 25, 2023, 02:39:49 »

My shifter on AK2003 was loose and there was no way to remove the boot to reach the bolts. The trans boot and the brake boot were both riveted from the bottom.  On the MKIV if you remove the seats, the seat belt reels, the seat belt anchors and ten sheetmetal screws the transmission tunnel comes right out provided you have the shifter in 1st, 3rd or reverse.  Once you tighten the shifter bolts then reverse the installation and celebrate.  In truth as frustrating as this seems it only took an hour.

General Forum / New Owner of AK2003

After several attempts to buy a MKIV I bit the bullet and bought one yesterday that had been on BAT.  It did not meet the reserve but the seller and I reached an agreement and it will be heading my way soon.  I have an assortment of Shelby's and Mustangs but always wanted another Cobra after owning an ERA a long time ago.  Look forward to lurking around here and learning as I know very little about these cars.
