Help, 4 speed console via automatic console

dano said

I have an auto console and 4 speed reproduction plate combo for my TKO swap. My plate will not sit down fully yet, I have not looked into why but it will almost go in, like another 5% to lay flush. If I get a chance I will look at the fit this evening, but I know others have used 4 speed plated on auto console bases.

Mine was the same way. It would ALMOST drop into place, but not quite. I had to trim mine on both sides where the red line is, as the pointed area that the red arrow points to interfered with the top plate and shift boot. Like I said before,.. it wasn't a big deal. I just had to trim those points off like the line shows and it dropped right in. Mounting holes were even the same
