3-Speed Column to Floor Conversion
Does anyone have pictures of the hole they cut for this? I bought an Indy 3-speed because my column is shot. I couldn't find an FAQ for this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 3-Speed Column to Floor Conversion
Shifter placement will vary from truck to truck slighly.You may have to mount the shifter and figure out the hole from there.As far as your column shifter being shot....I doubt it.I have seen some that wouldn't work at all get a good cleaning and lube and work like a charm.In fact mine did it this spring.I just hadn't degreased and lubed it lately.The other thing is the bushings on the shifter arms need to be in good shape.There is a great write up in the FAQ's on column shifter rehab and adjustment.

Re: 3-Speed Column to Floor Conversion
Also there are two screws that can adjust the "slack" in the shifter.

Re: 3-Speed Column to Floor Conversion
Here is the only pic I have of it, I already welded it up and will be using my column shifter.

Re: 3-Speed Column to Floor Conversion
Thanks for the tip I will try that instead of going to a floor shifter as I thought it was just worn out.
