3 spd manual column shift convert to floor?

[LuvMyB]

Anyone ever converted a manual 3 speed on the column to 3 speed on the floor?

Was there an aftermarket shifter available?

 

[Meep-Meep]

I've never done one personally but have seen several installations on various cars. Not sure of the availability these days but there was a shifter kit from Spark O Matic and I think Hurst.

Well lookey here -

Summit Racing has one that says it will fit Mopar. It has a list of applications. Check it out at http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HUU-5010002/.

Are you swapping it to the floor just for fun? Or are the bushings and linkage worn out?
(Slightly off topic)
The 3-on-da-tree is something you dont see anymore,and maybe try to preserve it..
Not many people know how to operate one these days-----which is funny to watch when they try to figure it out.

I have a 73 Satellite wagon that is 3 speed column shift.
I plan on keeping that way ...It does have its own wierd cool and fun factor to it.

If you need a 3 speed floor shifter I am pretty sure I still have one that I would sell.

I like floor shifts but if I ever got a hold of a nice column shift Mopar, I might keep it that way if it were a /6 or a 318 car but even 318's can be fun with a stick on the floor. I always hooked up my 3 speeds to where I could grab 2nd gear instead of pushing for it tho. For light to light blasts, being able to grab a good 2nd is most important
