Thank you for the purchase of the Defenderworx Pistol Grip Shift Knob for

your 2010-2013 Mustang! You have made the decision to purchase a

finely crafted accessory manufactured right here in the USA. Our products

are officially licensed by Ford Motor Co. and made from T-6061 Aircraft

Grade Aluminum. There are a couple of notes we need to address prior to

beginning the installation process.

1. If your automatic Mustang is equipped with the option to have Sport

Mode or Manual Shift mode via a button on the shift knob, with the

Defenderworx knob, that feature will not be able to be used.

If you desire to maintain that feature, check back shortly as our engineers

are working with switch manufacturers to build a custom switch that will

plug right into your existing wire harness without having to do any splicing.

It is something that can be added at a later date without a lot of extra work

should you choose to keep the knob and install it on your vehicle. This

will not affect the performance of the vehicle or trigger any

dash lights should you choose to use the Pistol Grip knob.

2. This is rated as a medium to difficult level of installation. Not because

there is heavy lifting, but it is time consuming and deals with small

components. Length of time while doing instruction sheets was 1.5

hours. It could be a 2 hour installation at the worst case scenario

Defenderworx products are warranted for 4 years to the original purchaser

against manufacturer’s defects. We appreciate you choosing our product

and believe it is the finest accessory for Mustangs in the automotive

aftermarket today. We appreciate feedback and can also assist if there are

any installation questions. You can e-mail us back at

info@defenderworx.com. You can call the tech line at 714.630.9700 M – F

Mustang Pistol Grip Automatic Shift Knob Part #’s 900897 and 900899 Installation Instructions Tools Needed:  #20 Torx Bit Driver – (Screwdriver style is preferred or a ratchet with an extension  Plastic straight edge or plastic tip flat head screwdriver  3/32 Allen Wrench Set  Clean cloth  Small flat head screwdriver Estimated Timeline: 1-2 Hours (may vary depending on experience) Step 1: Step 2: The factory chrome bezel needs to be removed. This is just clipped in and you just pull up on it.

Step 3: The next item to remove is the center console inner section. This is also held in with clips. We started by lifting up from the rear of the console at the backside of the cup holder area. NOTE: Move shifter to N and insure park break is set in order to remove console. Step 4: The chrome trim ring must be slid down next. We used a plastic flat head screwdriver for this. TAKE CAUTION and PATIENCE with this step. Where the arrow is, there are torx bit screws behind that portion of the knob.

Step 5: This is one of the final steps and you will have the factory knob ready to remove. This base is held in with 4 clips at the base of the floor. It will pop out and underneath the shifter housing, you will find 2 wires that need to be unplugged. One set is black and read and the other is at the base of the shifters shaft. You’ll have to get to the wires at the base of the shaft while holding this console base up slightly. These wires are connected to the shift knob itself.

The clip featured in this image is the plug to the wiring that will allow you to remove your shift knob from the factory shaft. It is a quick tug and it will unplug from the base of the factory shifter’s shaft. You are now able to remove the factory shift knob and start putting your console back together. Step 6: You now just need to reassemble the shift area back to stock without the factory shift knob. Once you have it all in place, you can add the Defenderworx base to the factory shaft.

Next slide the spring over the top of the base and slide the Defenderworx knob over that depressing the spring. You will then tighten the supplied set screw in the shift knob to the base. The set screw is in the front of the knob where the hand grips are located. Once secure, your knob should move freely up and down and allow you to put the car in gear and out of gear by pushing this unit down. You have successfully installed the Pistol Grip shift knob and are ready to go! Thank you for your purchase.
