Hello everyone, I'm curious to if anyone could tell me if there is someway to modify my 3spd column shifter transmission into a floor shifter without changing the the tranny.

You might be able to find a floor mounted shifter. They used to be common but I don't know if you can still get them. Of course, it will require cutting and modification of the tunnel.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

I know that I would have to modify the tunnel but there a chance of aftermarket one

There is no place to nount a shifter on my 3 speed. 72 Duster with the non synchro 3 speed.

I have a 3 speed shifter in the shop. Not sure what Mopar it came from. No place to mount it.

I've seen them but it's been a long time. I don't remember how the aftermarket shifter mounts.

It depends on the brand, I've seen Hurst have aunit that bolts onto the original tailshaft pattern (column shift trannys will not have these bosses)... I've seen a couple that you bolt to the floor pan/make a bracket...but they are kind of 'sloppy', especially if your tranny moves around it can get pulled out of gear or worse if your bushings are shot...

Back in the old days the smar people that made cheesy stereo's made shifter for 3 speeds.

i actually just bought a A-230 at carlisle....attached to it was the original hurst shifter...i just installed it in the dart...had to cut a few holes and do some sheet metal work but works like a dream...took it for a drive today. total cost....125 for tranny/shifter....50 for pistol grip shift lever and handle...i think i made out..

A friend of mine and fellow mopar enthusiat told me a 3 spee dfor the floor is hard to come by and told me either to go to a auto a 4 speed I really want a floor shifter

like i said...i think i made out.

I bought the hurst 3 speed shifter for my '64 valiant. No way the thing will fit without MAJOR surgery! Sucks because we really need a floor shifter in it because the colum shift is wore smooth out, hangs up in gear and there is no adjustment left.

hey man it fit in my pretty easily..i was having the same isssue with the column shifter..i just had to cut two holes..on for the shifter and one for the linkages..then fabbed a small tunnel to go over then put the carpet back over.

you got any pictures of that? I'd like to see how you installed it!
