Default Ratchet shifter install
Im looking to get a ratchet shifter in the near future but since my car is a daily driver id like to keep the console. Does anyone have any pictures of shifter installs in an f-body without removing the console? I understand you would have to cut it to make room, just seeing what other people have done and if it is possible for it to look good. Any input would be great!

Why? Just put the car in drive, the computer will do a better job of shifting than you ever can.

If you search there are a few threads on here but there is nothing that is a direct fit. Rachet shifting is fun. Good luck.

Thanks for the insight, but the purpose of the thread was to see what people have done in the past to incorporate a ratchet shifter into their stock console. Next time I have any questions on lower track times i'll know who to contact!
