How to go from tree shifter to floor shifter.

Originally many c10 trucks had a three on the tree manual. Check your local salvage yards as. In that case you might as well switch to a 4 speed tranny since either way it will have to be a floor shift. A column shifter is located on the steering column of your automobile usually on the right side.

I personally like my 3 on the tree. Unfortunately hurst generally sells there installation kit necessary separate from the shifter. If you are modifying your car and want to change from a column shifter to a floor shifter the job is as simple as changing a few levers. It uses the same design as their 4 speed shifters.

Shifter and pry a bracket from some other shifter. Not long after the swap i decided to go a step further and switch the car from it s rather worn out original column shift to a floor shift configuration as well. They bolt to the side of the tranny. Once you find the mustang trans you should also get the shift that goes with it.

One item that is often a point of contention with classic truck owners is the addition of a floor shifter for automatic transmissions. The 4 speed is a better tranny. There are floor shifters you can buy for your tranny that aren t too expensive. One of the best 3 speed shifters that you can find is made by hurst and is called the mastershift.

The first thing you are going to need is a tailshaft that is set up for a floor shift. You can replace your column shifter with a floor shifter in less than eight hours. Just need to locate and cut an opening in the drive tunnel. The shift boot will cover up the cut out.

Nevermind guys while postin this i found out i got box fulla crap not even the right shifter has the right shift lever diff. The shifter with an installation kit can get expensive but you must have both. If you want to do a power steering conversion you will have to get rid of the column shift. Thanks for the help maybe i can use this advise when i get the right shifter.

The column isnt broke it just jams up almost everytime shiftin in to second.
