Hi guys I can't find much info maybe someone else can direct or tell me what I need to do I have converted my column shift to floor shift and what I need to know is how to disengage the column from locking so I can use the floor shifter.
When I first installed my B & M shifter in my Monte I still had the column shift so I removed the handle and then removed all the linkage leaving only the built in arm that is on the column in the engine compartment.Hi guys I can't find much info maybe someone else can direct or tell me what I need to do I have converted my column shift to floor shift and what I need to know is how to disengage the column from locking so I can use the floor shifter.
You need to find the arm from a floor shifted car that connects the bottom part of the column under the hood to the linkage on the transmission. If you have headers there might be clearance issues. Or.... Find a manual shift column that has the lever on the column to disengage the key and has no linkage to deal with.. Oh and btw Howdy neighbor.. Im right next door in West Islip.. Do you go to Captree Sunday mornings? It was packed this morning.I have a 79 Malibu my SS is gone to heaven lol I installed the floor shifter from the SS but I removed the column shifter but I have to move the column out of park to unlock the steering I just want to eliminate that problem.
OK I'll look into that and no I have never gone to captree the 9 years I've lived here I guess cause I have been doing other things and or working on my car.I do go to some of the car shows and swap meets.I'm trying to get my car running by June it won't be a show car but it will still be a working in progress car.So I'll catch you around one of these days I don't even know what site to go on to see what shows are around our area.You need to find the arm from a floor shifted car that connects the bottom part of the column under the hood to the linkage on the transmission.
