i got the OEM firebird one in and it fits, I just had to cut more of the center console that I really wanted to. Id like to get a smaller shifter, but the problem is, what to do w/ the PN switch that goes to computer? What shifter to go w/?
Thanks
Dave

Let the computer do it. Manually shifting doesn't actually shift it anyway - you're more or less just letting the computer know what gear you want, it still has to command the upshift itself.

Why not just modify the Fox shifter?
Chances are with a dremel and some allthread you can make it work just fine for the 4L60e.
I'm using the stock RX7 automagic shifter in my conversion. I just reversed the little tab that bolts on to the shift lever on the 4L60e, then used a piece of allthread with two heim joints on the ends run between the shift lever and the shifter. I used one reverse thread heim joint so that I could adjust it like a turnbuckle (and welded a nut in the middle of the allthread so I'd have something to grip).
Works great, looks stock, and cost 12 bucks.
