MADMAC Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Will an aftermarket shifter work in a stock console? I really want to switch my Monte to a bucket, console car and want to go with an original console but dont want to use the H type shifter. I'd like to use the Hurst pistol grip, is this gonna be too much trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam (Bones) Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 yes it can be done, you have to get creative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAC Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I like the Horseshoe shifter, it's what my dad had in his Chevelle.And I think original console setups look nice. But like I said,right now I have column shift and the Hurst I like isn't too much more than me buying an original type of shifter. I just wanted a more race looking kind.

Sam (Bones) Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 weld some square tube to the "hump" to get it to the right height, and make a custom plate for the consol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
