I have a firebird and im installing a megashifter
and i dont really want to cut my stock counsil
will it still shift into first in the stock opening. the boot fit I can rig to fit

If you bought the right shifter than it is ment to fit in YOUR car. You shouldn't need to cut anything, as I said it is a bolt / wire in, kit. If it says you have to cut you counsol up than take itback and get the one for 82-92 Camaro/Firebird.

I did, this kit is for 82-92 camaro, firebird.
It comes with a templete to cut it. I even called B&M and they told me to cut it. I dont want to cut it because mines perfect and the cover plate that is provided only has 1 2 d n r p

Yes you cut the OE console. You can try to use the stock boot and see if it will work, but I don't know how you could hook up the selector. The kit has a second 'selector' that has all the gears you need. If I remember correctly, you must also remove a lockout screw to allow the shifter to all 4 forward gears. You could also get a used console plate from a junkyard and cut it up.

Thought you were talkng about the main part of the counsol not the white indicator like part. OK

just go for it.......you'll love the look of it once you get it all together...........well atleast i did
