I dont want to put a floor shifter in my car, but I want a manual valve body. So I intend to shift from the column. Ive read on another forum about grinding down a part that is in the column.
From the other forum:
"Sure it will work, And you can do some work in the column to make it work even better. Not too hard to do. There's a little peice of metal inside the coulmn that is held in with 2 phillps screws. It's the part that locks the shifter lever into place when you move the lever. I pull the coulmn apart and take it out and modify it where 1-2 gear is. That way you cant miss 2nd gear. When in 1st gear all you have to do smack the lever downward to go into 2nd. Then you pull the lever toward you and shift downward going into 3rd. Works great! Here's a pic. Just grind down where the red paint is. you will have a positive stop at 2nd gear."
I was wondering if any of you guys have done this mod and possibly took pictures or could give me any feedback on it.
