I received a Flat 4 Eliminator Shifter as a gift and need some advice installing it on my 62 KG coupe. First of all does anybody have any experience with this shifter? Will this shifter work without modifications? Do I use the components from the stock shifter (spring, lockout plate)? I actually like the design of the curved shifter and would like to use it but I don't want to modify or stray away from the original set up....(so I can go back to the original shifter if I don't like this aftermarket one). I just installed a new shift rod bushing and coupler so ready for the shifter....I believe this was purchased from Cip1.....thanx for any advice and info.....

The "eliminator" shifter requires no modifications. Follow the installation instructions and all will be good. The shifter boot does require 4 holes drilled into the tunnel for the mounting screws, I have used mine for 10 trouble free years Cool
