Default M6 to TH400 conversion---->question?

I will be converting my M6 to a TH400 right after Thanksgiving. My question is what do I do with the clutch pedal? Leave it there, or remove it? Is it hard to remove?

Also, do I need to get an automatic center console, or will the M6 center console work with a automatic shifter?

TIA! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Just push the clutch peddle to the floor and tie it up (leave it there). As far as for the console, you can reuse your original console w/the 6-speed boot if you get the B&M Rachet Shifters (Hammer or Pro Ratchet). That's what I did.

Confuzed,

The cable that comes with the Hammer works fine, Here's a few pics of the Hammer in my car after the conversion. The pics suck because my scanner crapped out and they are pics of pics.

This is the shifter I want to get. Will this work with the M6 console?
