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. |

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...-D.idiot |

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. |
