Can someone tell me whats the difference between the console model and the regular model? i know the console model fits right in our factory console but are they the same hight and are the mounting holes the same? the reason i ask is because my buddy took one out of his 57 chevy and he told me i can have it for $20.00 i want to know if i can use it or not in my GTA either way i'm still gonna buy it. thanks guys and gals

I thought someone said, that the NON console one the stick sits up higher.

 

the one i want is the big one. the one that will sit up higher.

 

But are the mounting holes the same? becasue if thats the only difference i dont think i would care how high up it sits

 

i believe its the sanme. i sure hope so b/c that is the one i am buyin here in a few days. graduation money.

 

ahh yes graduation money i will be recieving some of that very soon to. I have to buy a set of tires first then whatever else i want. not sure what im gonna get yet

 

well i ipcked up the shifter from my friend and the bolt pattern is different from the factory one
I guess i'm gonna have to fabricate a bracket so i can mount it ohhh well @ least i only paid $20.00 for it

 

Even the console model needs to have some extra mounting holes drilled, so don't feel bad. The biggest difference between the universal and the console shifters is the cover plate anyway, so no big deal.
The shifter 'designed' for the F-body takes a fair amount of fabbing and modifying to install, so yours shouldn't be much harder to do.
Check the Aftermarket Product Review and the Transmission boards for install tips. We do this thread every couple of months.........

 

Thanks Speed Cat i didn't know you hade to modify the console model too,I'll check the 2 boards you mentioned
