Just a sanity check here.

I replaced a turbo action cheetah in my car(rmvb) with a B&M pro ratchet. Some don't like it because you have to ratchet it every time, and it has a reverse lockout. But it's quite compact and the lever is always in the same place. I built a support to lift the whole shifter to where I wanted it, and made a simulated pistol grip handle for it. I suspect it can be installed under a factory console.
