as easy as drilling some holes and running a cable as well as adding a bracket to the trans. i believe you have to drop 3 pan bolts to do so. IMO its a cake walk. just keep your factory column shift hooked up and you wont have to worry about wiring the neutral safety switch or back up light switch. the brackets can just be sandwiched and then remove the lever off the column. easy as done.
It's going good, but them body shops take too long and I mean toooooo long.. I have so many parts at home just waiting on the car....
it can be done. but its not easy as stated IMO. You have to find a car with all the console brackets,get the floor mounted seat belts that go along side the console, get all the measurements of were all three go, get measurments of the shifter cable mount, get the transmissions shifter cable mounts and the piece that goes on the transmission for floor shift.find a console,find bucket seats, find shifter,cut the carpet for the mounts,drill floor pan out for the cable mount, etc
is it worth it? YES. Is it very,very easy? No

Im doing this now and its not difficult if you make your own brackets. Other than the brackets its just nuts and boltsEvan's 85 said:
