shift lever

[swamprat]

I got a 89 BII that had the FM146 and somebody swapped in a M5od. The shifter boot doesnt fit like it should. Did the Explorer use a different shift boot for the 5sp and transfer case lever than the BII? If so do you know where one is?

Thanks Robert

The FM146 and FM145 shifters come out in about the same place. The M5OD is further forward to the dash.

Yes they are different.

FM146 with manual t-case trim.

That makes sense. It work fine(old shifter boot) untill I pull it into 4 low. Know where I can get one. I have checked all the local yards. Every Explorer is auto or trans is gone with shifter. Thanks for the pics. 100% proof that I wasnt crazy.
