3 on the tree to an automatic?
I would like to convert my 3 on the tree to an automatic shifter. I would like to keep my column and would rather not bore a hole through the floor and put a lokar in it. So is it possible? or do I start cutting.

Delmo- That is AWESOME man what a GREAT idea. What did you end up doing about the E-brake though?

Re: 3 on the tree to an automatic?
It's an auto dude, who needs an ebrake? LOL Besides it sits on the frame.
I ordered a cable from Summit ( 4 foot I think) and a bracket kit for the trans. Used a factory hole in the lever and in the column bracket. Just needed to use a little angle bracket for the cable housing. Easypeezy. |

Re: 3 on the tree to an automatic?
Malibob,
Couldn't you use the Morse Cable concept, but simply mount it such that it has a knob instead of using the e-brake handle? Should work, don't ya think? Last edited by lakeroadster; 10-03-2010 at 07:18 PM. |

Re: 3 on the tree to an automatic?
Ya I've converted a 3OTT using a cable as well. Just a simple bracket mounted to the firewall to hold the cable housing and connected to the first gear lever.

Re: 3 on the tree to an automatic?
Getting excited with all of these ideas. Thanks a ton for the input fellas. I am thinking that maybe some sort of bracket could be attached to the column as a park lock out- something that will move when the shift lever is pulled forward. I have to get into the column a little to see how it all works and maybe come up with something.
