Thread: Hidden gear shift??

Tweet

I have a 55 dodge royal(automatic shift).Do anybody know if there is a way to move or hide the gear shift.I want it were I am the only that knows how to chage gears.

Winsdor fab in Battle creek Mi make a under the dash shifter.

Is there a web page or some way I can look at it?

I dont know--they advertise in streetscene mag. Its just a single lever about 8 inchs long that looks like you can shorten it.

Is windsor fab the name of the place.Do you have a number?I have looked at yellowpages.com and can not find number(never mind I got it I called and they are going to mail me a flyer thanks)

Do anybody else have a idea?

is it column shift or push button shift? you could hook up a little lever under the dash or another pedal with linkages that connect to where the shifter currently is and then make a panel to over it up.

it aready looks hidden???????? besides hows that gonna work when ur drag racin it

Its not hidden its that level on the right side of the steering wheel.And I dont plan on racing it and even if I do its automotic just put it in drive and hit the gas.

So, what's wrong with it being there??

Iv'e done it to a couple car's that I had. Go to a store that sell's stuff like diesel equipment or farm equipment, etc. And measure from your dash ''or wherevr' you want the knob to the firewall.......down and underneath to the tranny where the lingage arm is on the trans. Then go get a heavy duty push/ pull cable ''like a PTO' CABLE. You run it from the dash and down to the tranny. You will have to make a couple little brakets to hold the outer cable stationary and the inner cable will be able to slide easly. Then just figure which direction the cable need's to run...... usually it's running from the back of the tranny to the front. Make or adapt the little lever that is attached to the side of the tranny for the shifter. And once you get it hooked up, be sure to hook up a nutural safety switch. Then get a knob that matches the other knobs on your dash..... or just leave it.
It takes a little adjusting on the linkage end...... but it's really basic stuff.
PS. Try to avoid any tight bend's........ the straighter the cable....the smoother the cable slides.
Hope this makes sence to you,,,,,
