My friend just bought a 67 Mustang 390 4spd. His reverse is down next to second gear. My 70 Mach is up next to first gear. Is this correct for a 67 Mustang ?------------------

He must have the reverse shifter lever upside down on the tranny!!  [This message has been edited by bluestreek (edited 08-07-2001).]

That's what I thought. The original owner sold him the car and he said that's the way it was new. Looks like a factory shifter knob with the patern shown reverse down next to second. Anyone know for sure. Thanx Ray

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I think all factory Mustang 4-speeds, up through 69 had the reverse to the left and down. In 70 when they went with the Hurst shifter (Ford style linkage  ) the reverse then went up.Mike [This message has been edited by kcode (edited 08-07-2001).]

Check with Mark at Toploaderheaven. He rebuilds these shifters and can tell you whatever you wish to know.

Mike, I'm pretty sure you are correct. My 68's 4 spd with stock shifter went down (by 2nd) for reverse, but when I put on the Hurst shifter it went to forward (near 1st) for reverse.
