Megashifter/hurst dual gate..anything else out there???
O.k everyone I have the interior of my car apart ready to put new carpet in and am thinking of putting an aftermarket shifter in. I have an automatic and I know B&M makes the mega shifter and hurst has the dual gate out there that fits direct into our car. My question is, is there anyone else out there that makes a shifter that fits into our cars for an automatic?? I would Love to have a ratchet shifter but have seen to many negative comments on here about the megashifter...and also i am not a big fan of the Hurst dual gate. I was just wondering if there was anything else available for these cars. If anyone has a name or pictures of anything else I would Love to see it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Sport shifter. I think it's the cleanest looking design. I made the leather shift boot for it.
sorry to bring this topic back to life...but i did a search and came up with stage20's shifter...that thing looks awesome! if you could, could you explain to me exactly how you did that? is that the 6 speed 4th gen console, which type of ratchet shifter?

complete 6 spd console, boot and slp shift kno.
B&M quicksilver, all cut to hell. the stock shifter handle is cut of and the stock 6 spd shifter was also cut to length and welded on to the ratchet mechanism.
the floor of the shifter has also been cut and modified with tabs to bolt right in the stock location. i tilted it just a touch to give it more of the effect of a manual tranny.
i have some pics of my old 3rd gen console done like this as well, before i swapped. it was almost a direct bolt in there. not much cutting and chopping. the low curve of the 4th gen console made it difficult, but what are saturdays for?

EDIT: thanks for the comments!
