im in need of some ******* engineering

I have been thinking about this for a while and probably gonna try it myself but i just did a 5sp swap on my 87 firebird and wanted to know if any one has been able to modify the auto shift plate for the manual shifter and it look decent. I know if it is done it will save alot of money for a lot of people and if any one has done it or has any ideas please post here and if i figure out a way ill be sure to post back. thanks.
