Default Console Swap

hey guys,


Im trying to put a console from a 98 T/a into a 94 t/a. I got it on, but it looks like the center bolt in the middle doesn't line up right. Theres like a 2 inch cap and the shifter hits the plastic there. Has anyone else done this and gotten it to work?

96 should be the same as 94. Change was in 97 on the interiors.

I'd think the console would just bolt up. There as once an installation guide I think by BFranker online that takes you step by step installing the 98+ console into a 93-96 car.

Go to the junkyard and you can get the bracket that goes underneath. BCMs were added in 96 that might be the reason its different.
