just got in a 6 speed from a new challenger. it has a funky shifter , just a rod coming out of the back of where the shifter is , it must have some remote shifter set up . the output shaft just has a flange with 3 bolts and no slip yoke. how the do you make it work on a street rod project? is there any way to use a normal shifter and slip yoke? here is a picture

That's another one of those parts engineered by Merciless Bends and dropped on Chrysler. Meet the Mercedes flex disc. Perhaps you can nab a drive shaft and swap to a rear yoke after you cut it down.

Wonder if an F body one would be any closer..I can take a pic of mine for you if it would help at all.. Found a pic from a little while ago on my project that shows it..looks like the shifter plate bolts are abit further apart than on yours. Maybe see what the Ford ones look like too?

I cant find anyone who can get the piece to attach to the flange on the ind of the transmission. everyone is telling me to get the original driveshaft and try to modify it. does anyone know if there is something available to bolt up th the flange or will i have to track down a factory driveshaft?
It looks the same (or very similar) to a Cadillac CTS-V version, maybe grab a used driveshaft front half out of one of those for the flange setup?
If not, in doing a very fast search around, looks like changing the extension housing and output shaft to F body is what some of the GM people are doing to use that trans in 'normal' stuff
