aftermarket shifter in factory console

[purplewolfhound73]

Has anyone here ever used a B&M prostick in a factory console? Any thoughts? Steve

Yes. Did it in my 67 notchback. At the time couldn't find all necessary shifter parts.
Glad I did, much better shifting ease street/strip.
Just some slight modifications to console shift selector face to give room needed
for B&M shifter. Looks nice also. Don't plan on changing back to stock unless you have another top plate.
Ill send some pics of mine later today so you can see what needs done.

Thanks Mycuda, Looking forward to the pics!

I used the Quicksilver B&M shifter. Only modification was a new shifter slide cover that I made using a plastic oil quart container.

Pics are a little dark. It looks like less work than I originally said.
Just file the border on selector out till you have clearance. Also I changed to Quiksilver so I had to notch out a spot for reverse lever when shifter in park.

Overeall not that difficult. Go to it.
Thanks.

Did you like the quicksilver better?

 

[mycuda]

Either one is fine.
Quicksilver is just a lot harder to accidentally put in reverse.

Quicksilver

Thanks skep419, Nice clean install, I'm leaning towards quicksilver.

Hurst promatic2, inside a factory console.

I got rid of the factory top plates cause the chrome wasn't very good, and made my own top plate.

Now that looks slick.

And yours looks factory installed. Almost makes me want to run a slushbox instead of a stick shift. Awesome install

I waiting for my Hurst ProMatic 2 to arrive later today, bought it for $99 on Ebay. 65 Dart console is shorter then later A-body consoles but we'll make it work. I like the look in MileHighDart with Hurst.

Went with B&M Quicksilver and Speed Dawg shifter knob. Also made up an aluminum sleeve to cover wire from shifter knob.

Hurst quarter stick, similar to the B&M prostick... Auto-plate, I cut the hole bigger with a dremel, and removed the factory auto-indicator. The chrome trim around the shifter and the top-plate are 3m vinyl all stick down... My wife made the boot...

One more

 

[gtxdude]

Also one more, all done now everything seems to work fine. 65 Dart GT factory console :cheers:

I love the quick silver shifters. i had one up thru my stock console when i first put the car together.

you can take them apart and build a new shift arm to your liking very easily too. I built mine.

I took my console out because they weight a ton. I am trying to cut weight in the car and build a custom cover for my quick silver.

What shifter is that and where you get it. How easy was that to put in ?

B&M quick silver. Hardest part is routing the cable out of harms way.

What did you end up doing with the reverse lockout?
