Convince me to put a TKX in my Dart

The SST web site states "factory-correct shifter location so your car will retain factory look". They definitely did NOT deliver on that promise. So I would be on the phone telling them nope you need to fix it and do what you promised. I would NOT let them make a promise and then NOT deliver on it totally unacceptable:

Appreciate the info but I'm honestly not too worried about it. I mean the 833 is a side loader and the TKX is a top loader so I wasn't expecting the shifter to be even close to the same position as the factory 4 speed would. I don't know what they mean about retaining the factory look because like Arthur said, the shifter is centered in the tunnel so the 4spd hump isn't needed. They didn't make any claims on the phone that the transmission would work out of the box with the console even though it looks like the website makes it possibly seem that way.

Maybe SST makes an adapter that changes the shifter position but I already finished making mine so I'm good with what I've got.

I might be doing a little extra work to get the shifter position perfect for the console but I'll have to do much less tunnel work. I'll probably only wind up using about 1/4 of the sheet metal they sent me for the tunnel because all I've got to do is patch up the rectangular hole I cut for the shifter and then use a small strip of metal to weld up the slits I cut further up the tunnel toward the firewall.
