not as easy to do a write up for me as it was to put the shifter in, gonna be generic but provide at least some details, I have been trying to figure out exactly which Megashifter I have, cant be sure, it does look like not only the megashifters could be tweaked to fit but some of their others as well, wish I had more money to play with, couple of their gate shifters could probably be made to work as well., if I dont get this done Friday I will have it saturday for sure.

No you're not: I just figured since I had nothing positive to say I'd keep quiet - each to his own....

opinions are all good, I see a lot of stuff on cars that is beyond what I like also, I will say that my crappy pictures dont do a good job of the way it looks, at least to me in person, it was a definit upgrade from the stubby plastic stocker, I do appreciate the niceties from those that dont necessarily care for it.

Its something I have been waiting for from B&M now for over 2years and if your idea works that will be the way I go for now so thanks in advance for your time and effort to show us how you did this mod.

the only down side to it is that it sits so high due to the height of the console.

thats in the park position, when in gear it is a little lower, I also have some more room for adjustmet to drop it down another inch or so, I have pulled the shifter back out to look at doing something with the boot, the way it was installed was about 4 inches higher than stock, well I got my half azz script together and re-took a couple of photos, will put my write up soon, fair warning, it wont be for everbody I am sure, only the determined and dedicated. LOL

Hi there, I know this is an old thread, but if you still have this mod, I did it myself, and you can purchase the shifter stalk for a B&M Firebird console shifter, and It installs on the shifter unit in place of the tall one exactly the same, and its only 2 inches high, works out great, I wasn't able to see any picks, but that may be because I'm at work and there blocked, but I didn't use the plate and rubber boot that came with it, I made a custom leather boot for it and attached it to my console, so it looks like it belongs there, however I also did not use the shift indicator, but I know where the gears are so I didn't see it as a necessity, I have toyed with the idea of dremmeling out a spot on the console and installing it that way, but I probably wont.
