Re: th350 floor shifter

My dad just used a conversion from autozone (a local parts house) when he busted the column shifter off, from B&M, went on pretty easy, a little adjusting and she worked fine....

Re: th350 floor shifter

um, i'm not sure about looking like a "big rig", but heres a picture of my floor shifter. Only cost me around 230 dollars or so. Might have been a hair more with shipping. Search em on ebay, Lokar floor shifter. i believe mine is a 23"

Re: th350 floor shifter

Pke they can be kinda pricey but B & M sells em as well as Lokar and Hurst. They are cable driven and easy to set up. as for the colum u can just remove the lever or replace that peice with one off a manual trans truck/blaze/burban
