Shifter mechanism -1970 4spd Dart Swinger

This is originally a non console car. I have ordered the pretzel style shifter handle from Brewers so that I can install a console. This is where I have run into the install problem with the original “offset” where I require a straight up bolt on shifter mechanism. I will talk to Brewers to see which shifter mechanism they recommend to replace this “home made” assembly.

Brewers has the piece needed to convert your shifter mechanism from the bayonet style to the bolt on style to run the console shifter they sell. The part is about $20, but may as well rebuild the shifter while you have it apart to replace that part. I think it was about $120 to rebuild mine and swap to a bolt on handle style.

You can kind of see it in the pic. It was originally a bayonet style that I converted.
