I'm wondering if I can use a low hump floor/trans cover successfully with a three speed floor shifter?

I thought i just saw this.. Yes you can.

Sorry to be repetitive, just wanting to make sure there isn't any pounding or cursing involved in the process!

The question is:
Can you get the hole in the right place?

Yeah, but yours is an Impala isn't it?

LOL, I just went on your build thread Dave and was marveling at your work...then thought I would look for your shifter and ran across the hatchet man. My wife had to come in and see what I was cracking up about.

Not to sound foolish, but if the hump clears the tranny, then it will work. It is a matter of providing adequate clearance for the shifter, at your discretion. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.

I found one mounting kit on ebay today and bought it. Wasn't able to find one specific to this truck anywhere else. Tomorrow it will be the shifter. They seem to be readily available.
