I've done this before to at least one of my GPs.

The column shift lever uses a mechanical linkage, which you can look at under your car, and disconnect.

The B&M Megashifter comes with the shifter cable and any linkage you need to mount to your transmission pan bolts and hook up your new floor shifter (just don't over-tighten your transmission pan bolts or you will destroy the gasket and leak transmission fluid. You will have to make a hole in your floor board to let the cable through, that's all. The shifter comes with instructions on how/where to mount it/make the hole/etc..

so it shouldnt be too bad to do in the drive way

if you want to keep the shift-lock on the coulumn you should either get the braket with the install kit or get a stock transmission tab with the shifter tab on it so when you lock and take your key the shifter will lock

oh ok that doesnt sound too bad at all

When I went from bench seats/column shift to Buckets and a B and M Pro Stick Shifter it wasn't so bad.....I disconnected all the linkage from the column and had to drill a few holes in the floor to accomodate the shifter....... I now have no reverse lights or neutral safety switch.............But if you really wamt the reverse lights you can set them up on a toggle switch....and my shifter has the reverse lock out---so It's all GOOD 🙂

The B&M shifters come with switches built in for the reverse lights and neutral safety, you can wire them up manually. 😀
