aftermarket shifter in factory console

did you bolt the shifter to the floor?

My car was a factory console car, so I mounted the console at the height I wanted and the guesstimated where I needed the shifter to sit for the best height of its pivot point in the console. Then I chopped off top portion of the factory shifter mount (don't tell the purists!) and welded a flat plate to the top of it that I bolted the shifter to.
