Is there a shifter option that will move the shifter back closer to the stock location. Thanks...

Camaro, Viper, Mustang, Challenger... I'm going with the T56 Magnum, which is the hot rodder's version of a TR6060. 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]

You just need to fab up a shaft to go to the transmission. The picture below Challenger transmission. 8316142-dodgetr60602009uptrans01.jpg (75 downloads)

The Challenger shifter adapter mounted on the trans itself is not that expensive. I found one, a new one at that, for $99 on the ebag. The GM part is a Cadillac CTS-V application. It stands off even further from the trans than the Mopar part. I think this is a GM 6060 trans. 8316511-100_1760-1-Copy.jpg (36 downloads) Last edited by it's Bob; 10/30/14 10:24 PM.

I think you threw a few people off with that. I am surprised to see even at the rearmost mounting location that the shifter is too far forward. Do you have any pictures of where it's ending up in the car? Is your car an original 4spd? From what my research has shown is you're stuck with it where it's at. The only alternative would be to try to get a Challenger, or similar, tailshaft on it, but I'd expect a bunch of hurdles in doing that. Such as losing the speedo output, going to a much different transmission mount and maybe losing the slip-yoke style driveshaft. That is the setup I was planning on buying for my 5.7L Hemi swap. Is that the Ford or GM version? Close or wide ratio? I am very interested in any mockup pictures you may have of it in the car!

Honestly, I wouldn't sweat a small difference, 2-3" in shifter location won't make it or break it. You will quickly get used to it and not notice after very long. Thank you for the pics, how have you reworked the torsion bar crossmember? Or are you going to coil overs? 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]

Your pictures have me worried about the shifter location relative to where the torsion bar crossmember is. I know it needs to be completely fabricated there, but It seems like the upper portion of the crossmember would want to share the same real estate as the shifter.

If you come across anything that moves the shifter back let me know...lol
