Rob95CS Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 How hard is it to convert a column shift vehicle over to console shift? Other than the obvious interior modifications, what all is entailed in doing this? Quote
89oldscutlass Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 With all your interior mods done including cutting a hole for your cable all thats left is to run your cable from your shifter to your tranny. Quote

I could have gotten the shifter with my center console for not much more money and i declined! dammit i thought it was harder than that. Quote
89oldscutlass Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 One of cutlass supemes has console shifter while the other has the column shifter. I thought about putting a B&M shifter in the one with the column shifter. Its not that hard just time consuming. Hell im still trying whether or not to put the 5 speed setup I have in one of my cuttys. Now id say thats going to be a pain in the butt and I have everything for the convert. Quote

89oldscutlass Posted November 25, 2003 Report Posted November 25, 2003 You can buy a B&M rachet shifter for our cars they are designed for the 3speed and 4 speed automatic transmissions. All you have to do is remove a clip on the shifter to set it up for a 4 speed auto it even comes with the 4 speed auto shift indicator as well as for the 3 speed auto. You can get them at any Advanced Auto Parts. Quote
