4spd console location help
« on: June 13, 2019 - 02:11:22 AM »
Hey guys, hoping you can help me out. Just did a 4 spd swap in my 70 Cuda and added a console. We did not have a 4 speed top plate when installing the console brackets so I used some measurements I got off the site here. My new top plate arrived tonight and now wondering if we installed the console too far forward. Can anyone with a 4spd and console take a couple pics of their shifter in neutral and in second gear  from the side so I can see how centered the shifter is in the top plate? Thanks a bunch

:Your welcome , the 4 speed and console are not original to the car , but there are no issues with the shifting.
