Convince me to put a TKX in my Dart

Hey I don't blame you for not shelling out the money and it's not like anyone is going to see underneath it anyway so it doesnt really matter if it's factory as long as it holds the console in place. I've got a pretty nice auto console and have been pondering over a TKX swap for a while now. Thinking about buying a 4spd top plate and running it that way. After seeing how minimal the cuts need to be with this new torsion bar hoop, I might actually go for it. Can probably keep my carpet and still have the classy looking console set up in there while still keeping it looking stock.

Yeah I don't think it would be a problem at all. The tunnel work looks pretty minimal, the only thing you might run into is where the 4 speed top plate opening is with the stock brackets. It looks to be further forward with the TKX compared to the T56 so it might work just fine with the console in the stock location. And if not the factory brackets would be easy to move. The carpet should work fine, you'll have the holes from the floor shift auto linkage but they should already be covered by the carpet on the console.
