Re: shifter

I've seen it done with M-11/12 trannys, the older ones may have a different stroke but I didn't think so. I've used another factory floor shifter on a M-35, but I don't recall what it came from -- I think it was a T/A or Camaro (si of one, half dozen of the other...). I took it out because I didn't want to build a console box to cover the ugly thing. I seem to recall it didn't lock all the way in one gear, but that may have been the way the shifter was made/worn. I don't recall which gear, but think it was low, may have been drive. Park worked fine though.
