manual to auto swap
Has anyone done it? Just had mine done in my 88 firebird and I guess there's a hole in the floor that needs to be covered now. The guy also said he had to "strap down" the shifter because there was no where to mount it. Does this sound normal to you guys? Anyone have any ideas for the floor and mounting?

You'll need the bracket thats welded to the auto tunnel to bolt down the shifter.Plus weld the hole left from the manual shifter.

Shifter isn't my problem tho. I went from a manual to auto and I need to cover the hole where the manual shifter went through.

Cut out the tunnel off a car at the junkyard...portable sawzall or even a cordless drill are your friend
