Has anyone ever used a manual valve body with a factory console shifter?

if so then how did it work out and were there any modifications to the shifter needed?
 
Are you going to use a Reverse pattern or the forward pattern...

the slap stick auto shift will work with a forward pattern....and there was someone on the internet that sold a new gate to convert the slap stick to a reverse pattern...
 
I've used the factory floor shifter with both manual valve bodies.

The reverse manual works great with a little practice, using the palm to depress the button.. I've used that on my car for decades..

On the forward shift,, I weld a stop so the botton has to be depressed to go from "d" to neutral, otherwise an accidental shift to neutral could be VERY costly..
 
I tried that Duncan Motorsports shifter add on and worked and filed and worked and filed and never could get it just right. Took it out and put in a B&M Quicksilver
