Shift Cable

[Vertigo107]

Hey,

I'm installing an aftermarket shifter, and I'm wondering if when doing this; do I HAVE to drill a new hole, or is it OK to use the factory hole and grommet?

Thanks!

b&M and hurst will require drilling a new hole.
you can leave the old grommet on the floor and fill the hole in it with rtv ,

depending on the shifter you may also need to remove the mounting bracket on the tunnel , you'll need to drill out the spot welds .

also depending on shifter you may have to trim up the console and possibly the shifter plate

Thanks, I have a B&M Pro Stick. It's pretty much installed, so I'll drill a new hole and be done with it. Do I remove the long rod going up into the engine coompartment, or is there another bracket I need to buy for that? There isnt anything in the box with the shifter to make it usable with the new cable bracket.

Thanks again,
CJ

Not the same shifter as yours but some pics of how to do the bracket on the trans so you can retain the column lock out rod.
