I do have a solution, but unfortunately Shelby products and replacement parts are no longer available since they were purchased by Dutton-Lainson. The only option is to replace the entire coupler with one like the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3001-Z. This fits a 2" wide channel tongue with a 2" ball size, and has a weight capacity of 3,500 lbs just like your Shelby 5133.
