Default Re: WTB 1968 Chevelle 3-speed floor shifter

maybe,,im not sure but i think thats thats camaro stuff because of the way the shifter pushes the handle over..like a 69 camaro type shifter..and may work just fine

Dave novaboy had one of those brackets just a few weeks ago..

but yes,,that would be what id try...but i dont think it will fit on your floor hump...i wrote this before i saw you post check it out..see the stuff i have here...see if its a little easier..but humps are cheap now

the more i look at it the more i like it..


ive done this more than a few times in the past..to the best of my memory heres what i used


i can see in the pic you have a hump/porch for a console..and that takes a diff shifter too


heres a 4 speed cross member to use a stock shifter, but i wouldnt buy one id get around it..but if you want to use a stock shifter, you need one...for a convertible or elco...and they are expensive

i dont have the cutlass stuff. i pitched it..i thought id never used it and threw it in the scrap pile when i moved


heres the mount kit you need for that trans,,its rickety..but works, you get crazy and it moves..they have come a long way since the 70s or 80s..it may be fine to sell the car..but it will not fit in a console shift hump..you need a non console hump..it has more pick up points than the old sets had..may be nice now

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hurst-367001...H4&vxp=mtr

heres the hump...but it may not fit in it either...if it where me, id call or talk to a hurst supplier. tell them you have the trans you have, and its in a chevelle floor shift with no console, they may have a better way...and the shifter may come out in the hole right..

its not going to be hard to change it over..it just may cost some money..but i bet you can find the shifter stuff used if you stay on ebay..thats where i get stuff for cheap when i dont want to spend money..i just educate myself and stay on it

you dont really need a 3 speed shifter either..i just used what i had and most of the time it was a used 4 speed shifter and i just left the rev rod out..worked fine..you can do it really cheap..the rods..those could be hard to get..hard to find the right ones is what i mean
