I installed my MegaShifter the first summer I had the car when I was only 17.
It fits nicely, but not perfect. Knowing what I know now, I'd be able to get it right on.
Luckily, the B&M top plate is the same size as the original Olds top plate.
I cut mine up, and mounted the B&M top plate on top of the original one, so it clips into place like stock.
I'm using the "univeral" shifter in mine. The truck and F-body shifters have longer and shorter arms.
Yes, it comes with a 5' cable, and it smoothly wraps around. Even comes with a picture of how to route it.
It bolts in, but you'll have to do some drilling to mount it.
I did a lot of cutting inside the console. Needless to say, the stock shifter isn't going back in... :lol:
