Post your pics of this, I'm getting mine in a couple weeks and am excited to see what it looks like!

 

i hate the damn thing but it was in my car when i got it. i ended up painting the handle.

 

Don't have a pic of mine, but I really like it. If you didn't buy the shorter cable, you might want to consider it. The shift cable that comes with it has to be looped over the transmission. Not a real big deal but the extra length can result is a really stiff shifter. Good luck with your project. Oh, yeah. It will take longer to install than you think. I would recommend having a friend help you out.

Dont get it!!!!!! i hated mine. It was a PITA to drive. I got the short cable and routed everything PERFECT and it was a bitch to shift. My wife couldnt drive the car it was so bad. The thing i hated the most besides being able to bech 300lbs to shift it was you have to ratchet it all the way down to 1st you cant just yank it all the way down then ratchet up. This was on my old 83 i had. My 89 will be getting a hurst and we will make it work with the stock consol.

 

I've got a barely used one if you wanna buy it. Not planning on using it.

That said, I didn't like it. It got way too hot, and just was a pain to use.

 

in the process of putting in new carpet and patching floor rust, it does shift a littlie hard from park to reverse but is not a bad shifter and makes it easy that it will fit under the stock consol

 

have installed a few of them.(6). smoothing working shifter.
even a girl can use it.. dont know about all the hard to use installs..

if its hard to use its not in right..bottom line


this one was installed 19 years ago. and i still glass smooth. even after sitting for 8 years (dusty)

 

lmao, i like that plate above the shifter.. where did you get it?

 

saw it in a small aircraft a long time ago. and had one made for my self.

 

looks good, I've never driven with one so idk how I'd like it. Trying to get one for cheap though

you know i have been procrastinating buying and installing one of those. man i like how that works and how they look.

 

I have one. Kept pulling the handle off. Got one from a friend for free but it's a hurst.
The boot was trashed so I made my own.

 

Here's mine.....after I got rid of the Megashifter (I hated it), and went with the B&M Pro Ratchet......oh, and a 4th gen center console.

 

The center console with that shifter looks nice.
How hard was console and shifter install?
Would be nice if the chrome part was black.

 

Thanks man, it takes patience and cutting and removing the existing shifter components on the 4th gen console to make it work. Also, you have to drill your own holes, the existing ones won't match up. You will have to shim it to the correct height on the back. The cover piece is actually trimmed away just under the console, which you can't see. The factory B&M shifter cover is too big and presses up against the console, which could cause the plastic to break.

The chrome stick, **** or shifter cover can all be painted to whatever works for your car. I thought about painting the shifter cover black and putting a black ****. I'll do it when I get bored.......

 

I'll look into changing mine out. Seeing as my wife has her go do something and leave me to go shopping. OK shoes and **** for her, console and shifter maybe new seats for me . Lol
I'll paint the base with truck bedliner spray to match the grain of the dash.

 

That sounds like a good idea....should look really nice. However, you may find out that you like the contrast more than blending everything in. That's actually what makes it look so unique.

Just something to think about.......

 

True, chrome against black is pretty badass looking.
Is the button on top for nos or trans brake? Or is it the release mechanism for reverse lockout?

 

Line lock....for heating up the slicks at the drag strip.

 

Or line lock just to irritate the neighborhood. lmao

 

I bought a used B&M Megashifter & I've ended up changing directions so I won't be using it. $75 + shipping if anyone is interested.

 

Which one the mega or the pro?

 

I never understood what the did that the stock shifter doesn't do..
