Shift selector lever question. 4L60e
I am building a wrangler with an 04 6.0L Lq9 paired with an 05 4L60e. With the goals of a seamless dash and center console design, and living on a budget, I deleted the column shifter and mounted a 2002 Camaro floor shifter. I believe I am onto something when I think about it but need confirmation...
Will the shift lever on the trans be of a different shape, design, size for a column shift truck vs the trans mounted under a car with a floor shifter?
What happens is, when I pull back from park to reverse, my shifter skips the first detent and lands where neutral should be. The trans does click into reverse though. The rest of the detents match the gear shift lever in terms of feel or clicking, but because the first detent is skipped I cannot put the jeep into 1st.
I have searched for this lever for an 02 Camaro but have not had much luck.
Has anyone mounted a column shifted trans under another vehicle with floor shift and had to make some corrections?

The camaro shifter is a cable shifter. So it should work in virtually any vehicle as long as the handle doesn't hit the dash/radio when forward, and it doesn't hit cupholders/etc when backwards.
Sounds like you need to get the proper lever arm on the trans shift shaft and the cable bracket to match the camaro. Once you have that, just adjust the cable properly and it will be easy peasy.

Anyone know where I can find the specific parts?

Well are you on Mars or.......
I have two whole linkage setups with the cables off camaros. I know of 6 junk yards I could go to and find more. V6 cars have the same parts as LS1 cars and all the parts including the shifter are the same from 1993 to 2002.

Yeah... I would rather scour the junk yards for days if I had to...
Rather than use an aftermarket adjustable auto-trans gear selector/ cable assembly...
I hate those things with a passion. I don't care if is was from B&M, Locar or anybody for that matter...
******* JUNK!

There are two different "rooster combs" being used internally in 4L60E's. One for the floor shifter and one for the column shifter. The column shifter rooster comb has a deeper notches on it. The floor shifter has shallower notches. Camaros and Firebirds use the shallower notches. Trucks and vans use the deeper notches on their rooster comb.

I'd hit up the wanted & for sale section, craigslist for part outs, facebook for sale groups, or even those in this thread that have what you need and see if you can score the factory OE items. Just make sure you get a shift lever and cable from the same year cars, some where along the line the ball on the lever changes size.
