Thanks. With the "White Lightning" shifter the handle is offset and can be rotated any direction. If I had that option I may have been able to make it work without moving the console.
White Lightning Shifter Mechanism, Magnum, independent adjustable spring bias for improved centering.
I test fit it with the factory bucket. Moving the console back limits the amount I can move the stock seat forward. Not a problem for me per say since I use the seat pretty much all the way back, just something to know. The narrower aftermarket buckets should not be a problem.
