Before I swappd my trans I learned a lot from the swapper threads. So here is my contribution to this thing. I went with the triax shifter because I loved the one in my bud's 97 gt. There's plenty of large pics because we all know threads suck w/o pics right? This is only the way I did mine, it's not THE only way to do this so keep that in mind. Each car is different, I know this to be true now. Everyone told me the shifter mount lines up to the original hole, and a 1/4 here and a 1/4 inch there cut off the tunnel was all I needed. Well, I'll let the pics do the talking.
Give her the middle finger to let her know whos boss.
This was the scenario from under the car. You can kinda see how much I have to trim off the tunnel.
Bust out the sawzall.
Make sure there is tape covering the shifter hole to keep debris out. The backwards middle finger is my buddy. He says if he turned his hand around the other way, the fbi would scan his fingerprint and find out who he is
These pics show just how much I had to cut off.
Make sure mating surfaces are clean and squirt some gasket maker on the shifter. Then just bolt it down.
Now throw on the handle and a knob of choice. This one is steeda's and the feel and grip is awesome.
I think my c4 auto. handle looked kinda cool on there too.
This is the finished product minus the boots.
This is the boot and bezel I bought for it. I think either I keep the boot alone and get rid of the bezel, or I could get my hands on an entire sn95 center console and make it work in there. I'm leaning toward the console idea right now.
I'm gonna make another thread later with tranny swap pics. Oh and the shifter is so crisp, makes for some fun driving.
