DuceAnAHalf, so how's the feeling with the floor shifter? I'm seriously considering doing that conversion on my TC, although I'm looking at the Lokar shifters as they bolt directly on the tranny and all the linkage is as hard as it can get (no cables to snap and kink). Also considering I have the stock split-bench seats (and there's no way in the world I'm giving them up for buckets) what length of a stick do you think will be comfortable for shifting?Comment

This shifter is short , whifting it feels like using a transfer case lever in an old jeep, i have to lean forward to shift it. id say get a tape measure and measure from the floor to where you feel is a comfortable height and then find a shifter about that size.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

Thanks, tape-measure trick it is
How easy is the removal of the old linkage in the streering column, do I have to drop it to get the stuff out? Anything I should leave (not remove) there?

I dont think you have to drop the colum, when i removed mine i think the colum was up but i had no dash in it. It takes a lot of beating and force to get the old linkage out of the vehiclehttp://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

Lol, I'm a 135lb kid who easily strips/shears 12.9class 8mm bolts with just a regular size allen wrench - don't think applying some brute force will be too much of a problem Thanks for the info!
