Has anyone removed the gate between D and 3 so you can shift down without depressing the button? I was going to on my '97, but never got around to it...

just did this last weekend and like it soooo much better. it no onger feels like a ford aerostar shifter. wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. just take your time and measure twice and cut once.

yes. you will have to cut it to length and grind the sides down so it will fit into the knob. in his write up he said to cut it to about 3/4". i actually left mine a little long and kept test fitting the knob
