I have a 70 charger and noticed the handle provided in the kit hits the dash before engaging 1st, 3rd or 5th. It is a 12 inch shifter probably universal or Camaro design. I have a buddy seat and prefer to keep it. I noticed it with the initial mock up and was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and which handle you went with. I prefer a ball handle not pistol grip. Thanks.

I just put a Tremec TKO-600 in my Dart and I used this lever:

Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

Have you tried a 69 B body 4spd shifter (modified of course)?...Keisler used to offer a line of repro Mopar factory style shifters designed to fit the Tremecs, but with going out of business, that line may now be obsolete, unless the new owners of Keisler are going to continue offering them?...you may want to contact them www.shiftsst.com

An other alternative, although you don't like the pistol grip is a 70 Bench seat pistol grip (availablr repro from many sources) shifter, much easier to adapt to the Tremec shift nub...the shifter throws in the Tremec are radically shorter than the factory 4 spd

I used the diagrams here http://www.hurst-shifters.com/stick-diagrams-shifter-assembly-diagrams-transmission-id-charts/ to find the perfect stick to fit my Dart with a bench seat.
