Column Shift Question for LSx engine install

[Dads Burb]

Is anyone using a column shift on their LSx engine install? I don't know if I read it here or somewhere else, but they said the column linkage to the trans wouldn't fit because the motors are wider.

Plan is to get an Ididit column and I would really like to have the column shift not a floor shift.

Thanks for the help.

Get their catalog they have cable operated shift levers and call them direct they are more than helpful on install

With the shift arm in the standard position (towards the engine) it's WAY too close to the manifold, and I think my vette manifolds tuck better than the rest of the LSx manifolds. I used a Lokar column mounted cable shifter to allow me to spin the shift linkage to the other side of the column. Worked like a charm.

I too used the lokar cable shift for my LsX conversion and it worked great. I would suggest it. It takes a little bit to get it fine tuned but it is the way to go.
