Racers,

let me here about an automatic shifter that will fit in the factory console or a 3rd Generation Camaro/Firebird.

Thanks

Turbo action air shifter fits nicely

I have a B & M Pro Stick mounted in mine with a no cover of course with a SHIF NOIDE mounted behind the shifter. The Pro Stick is almost identical to the 1/4 stick. So mounting will be the same. You will have to make a lower bracket to mount the 1/4 stick shifter body on top of the trans tunnel sheet metal. This all will fit in the center console. I maid my own top cover out of aluminum, painted it with the SEM plastic satin black paint. I also had to make a extension for the reverse lever. Its doable if you all ready have a 1/4 stick. Its easier that it sounds to mount it. Mock it up first and you will see what it takes. Send me a e-mail rmiller249@comcast.net. I can take a picture of my set up for you and send it back.

I have seen a lot of guys fit a quarter stick in the factory console in 3rd Gens. Here are 2 pictures of one in our 4th Gen.

Lee,

Thanks, looks good.

Also, what is the gauge near the right kick panel?

I have a question that is somewhat related:
How and where are most racers locating their neutral safety switch for trouble-free performance with a Quarter Stick??
Thanks.

I thought I would add my pictures that I sent to Larry, but I can not. Do you have to have special privileges. So if any one can help let me know.

Thanks,

Both the Turbo Action SCS and Hurst Quarter stick will work with the 3rd gen console. Minor mods to the automatic bezel finish it nicely.

Thanks Larry!

The gauge is a water temp gauge.
I use the NSS that came with the shifter. It is located within the assembly. Has been flawless for us!

Lee:
Thanks for that timely info. I did a little digging and discovered that Hurst has a retofit kit for the internally mounted NSS you are using. The newer shifters come with it built in. My older shifter has an external switch that is beginning to give me trouble.
I have now ordered the new kit. ($26.00)
Thanks again!!
