I tried to put a hurst pistol grip in my six speed console and I just dont think it will work. If i put the shifter back so it doesnt hit the dash in park, it wont clear the back of the console when it is in low, guess I just need to get an auto console top

Thread revival.. I am now facing this exact issue. I guess that's one of the good benefits of the ratchet shifters. I have a 95 T/A with the 4L60E trans. My old A4 console was beat up pretty severely. So, I ended up buying a 6 speed manual console. I guess the ratchet shifters don't really require any modification to the console itself?

If this is on the first page when I get back to the states, I'll take a couple pics of mine and post them up. I've got the Pro Ratchet in the M6 console covered by the factory leather boot

I would like to see how some of these shifters are mounted to the floor. If anyone have any pics it would be greatly appreciated because I have the B&M rachet shifter and I'm getting ready to mount it. Just looking for a little guidence to ease the process.

I actually welded a piece of 1/16 thick sheet metal to the floor so its stronger, the floor there isnt to thick and when I tryed it the first time I could see the floor move when I was pulling back on the shifter so I beefed it up a little.

A buddy of mine and I just installed a Hurst 1/4 Stick in his car and we took some aluminum and bent it into a raised mounting pad. Bolted it to the floor and then bolted the shifter to it. Works well.
Changing gears (pun intended), have you ever seen one of these?

I really like the Hammer. Just bought a TH350 I am going to start prepping for the install. How do I get a park lockout lever on it? Want it to be track legal and all.

If anyone is interested in keeping the stock A4 shifter I was able to modify mine to work with a RMVB. I pulled the shifter and modifyed the gate so that it locks into 2nd gear then to switch to 3rd you push the button. I also welded in a stop so that after 3rd gear it won't go any farther back since I use a TH400. I love it and I didn't have to hack up my console because I still use the stock shifter. If anyone is interested and has any questions let me know.
