Ford Mustang Shift Knobs and Boots

One of the most iconic muscle cars is the Ford Mustang. The Ford Mustang has always had a design that seems to scream speed and power, and one of the features that really locks this feeling in is the shifting assembly. This vehicle has always had a wide variety of knobs and shifter models made for it that provide a truly unique aesthetic for your vehicle.

Outside of the main shift arm, which is the body of the shifter, a Ford Mustang’s shifter consists of a shift knob and a shift boot. The boot lies at the base of the shifter and is usually a triangular section of material that hides the inner workings of the shifter itself. The shift knob, on the other hand, is the section of the shifter that you interact with — it often has a diagram of the gears that you’ll be able to shift into on its top.

Over the decades, Ford has crafted a wide array of shift knob models for the Mustang. In fact, this feature is one of the aspects of each model year that really sets various Mustangs apart from each other. In addition to these material options, this vehicle also has knob options in a variety of colors and designs. These parts can oftentimes be placed onto newer or older Ford Mustang models.

Here are just some of the knob materials that have been produced:

• Carbon fiber: This material is usually colored black and is durable with a polished feel.
• Walnut and wood grain: For those looking for a classic feel, there are wood grain shift knob models, which were more common in the 1960s and 1970s on models of Mustang like the Fairlane.
• Leather: Over the years, Ford has offered a array of leather knobs for the Mustang.
• Chrome: Chrome knobs are usually included on the Bullitt line of Mustang knobs.

While you’ll have many shift knob models to select from, the most common color is usually black. Black allows the gear illustration to appear more clearly. Black isn’t the only color, however, many of these products tend to showcase the racing stripes that have become iconic to this car line.

Fortunately, outside of the extensive options that the manufacturer provides, there are some similarly impressive aftermarket options as well. Typically, these shift knobs and boots are all Mustang-themed, which means that you can expect to find more than a few products with racing stripes. Aftermarket manufacturers also produce many with black leather, some unique knobs that are designed to mimic black pistol grips, and several that are ball-shaped.
