Looks like Eric didn't pull the carpet and mount the sheetmetal shifter base to the floor pan. Thats why its flush.  Its a pain in the ass, ask me how I know. ;)


I wasn't the person that installed it....that would be my mechanic. When the trans went he had a Mustang AOD laying around, but that pretty much required the floor shifter, so he put that in at the same time as the transmission. It's a bit crooked but I got it looking halfway decent. I didn't have the metal support for it either...so, you make do with what you have. I personally like the flush mount look myself. Just have to space the indicator plate with some washers, no big deal.

Come on Claude...I've been messing with these cars for 20 years. You think I don't know a few tricks...? ;)

Nope. That trick worked for the '85 sage Cougar so I figured, what the hell, let's try that. ;)

Yeah but $200 (or whatever Karl payed) saved that car from the crusher. Biiiiiiggg difference ;)

OK, for anyone attending Cat Jam this weekend, I'll have the insurance on the car and you can take it for a test spin.

By spin, do you mean do donuts?  Whip shiznitties?  I'll take you up on that offer.
