3 speed floor shifters

[72EB]

I'm looking to buy a 3 speed floor shifter to change from the colum and headers that clear the starter and wanted to know what brands work the best?

Thanks

I like the James Duff. Its a hurst shifter that he has re worked a little. He also offers single and twin stick transfer case matching sticks.

EDITED to put you a link in http://www.jamesduff.com/eb/shifters.html

i agree with jason. i have a 3 speed duff shifter and a duff twin stick, i've never had a problem with them.

they come with nice walnut knobs, but i put my own billet ball knobs on.

If you just want the shifter get the Hurst Master shifter. Had one in my 68 and it worked great

I have a 3-on-tree in my 77 and 3 on the floor in my 70. The PO made the change on the 70 and he cut a hole I can stick my foot through to do it.

The only way I would change off the tree is for a 5-speed. Save your cash, think of the money you would drop on you floor shifter as a down payment on having more forward gears.

I think the duff shifter is the only way to go. They shortened the shift rail tabs so the overall distance between 1st and 2nd for example (on the top of the stick) is under a foot, compared to the hurst which is unbelievably long- you can punch the dash on a missed shift. I have a relatively new 3 spd duff shifter I am not using which I should sell but don't think I have all the mounting brackets so it's a wash. Get the duff's shifter.

There is a Hurst Bronco specific shifter that (I think) copies the Duff's reworking of Hursts standard shifter. They both sell for about the same price, which is 3 or 4 times the price of Hursts standard shifter.
