Console: auto to manual
« on: February 21, 2006 - 12:44:03 PM »
Anyone have any measurements for converting an auto console to manual?

not too hard , you just need to notch the console around the shifter boot & you need the 4 spd top plate too
 sorry I don`t have the neasurements though

I think an auto top plate has the right size cutout on the back. It could be cut but would not have a lip around it like a regular 4-speed top plate

Isn't the shape a little different around the bottom. Looks like it might sit a little lower.

The actual tunnel is different but the console im not sure, for ease on my project im just going with an original floor boot.

The tunnel and the console are different as is the top plate. The only difference in the console itself is it is notched nest to the shifter boot as Chryco said. See pic.
