I am installing a T-56 into this very base model 84 auto Camaro. I would like some pictures if possible, of the hole (position) for the shifter tower in the trans tunnel. I would like this to be a cut as small as possible, so I don't have much cleanup/finish work when I am done cutting the hole. It is time to cut the hole for the shifter tower as the bottom side of the Camaro is now done being wire brushed preped for it's new paint and undercoating. TIA.

 

Mount the trans without the shifter (protect the shifter area from debris) and scribe around the tunnel where your hole needs to go. That will give you the cleanest, closest cut possible.. Remember to make sure your shifter fits through the old also, since some (like my pro5.0) are wider than the shifter pad.
