Default TH400, what shifter?

I'm going to be installing a short tail Rossler TH400 in my Camaro, do you guys have any shifter recommendations for a rmvb th400 with a 6 speed console. Thanks in advance.

I bet mine fits better than anybodies and I did not have to cut a single bit of the console to do it. I used the stock shifter. Take the stock shifter out and you can modify the stock gate so that it locks into 2nd gear when you pull it back then you press teh button to make it go into 3rd. I also welded in a stop to the rear of the shifter so that it won't try to go any farther back than 3rd gear. I did this last spring and drove the car all summer and fall with it that way and loved it, and best part is it looks 100% stock, and yes this was my TH400 with RMVB setup.

I say the B&M ratchet shifter it works great because it dosen't move around alot. I had the hurst quarter shifter and it wa tight for space with the six speed console. you will be more than happy with the pro ratchet shifter trust me.
