I'm not sure if this is the right section but does anyone have a how-to or know what it takes to convert the column shifter to a floor shifter? I've been wanting to do this. I'm also wondering if some HAS done this how did they wire up their overdrive button??? Thanks in advance!

i dont quite know, id guess a shifter from summit would work, but idk.
for overdrive why not get a hurst shifter with roll control?
like this, i think they make a couple styles

for the most part the column just uses solid linkage to the trans..get rid of this and get a cable operated style floor mount it pretty simple but the electronic selector for OD is a different story

That's pretty much what I was looking at.

So can the above pic work as Over Drive control?

So I could for say use a Camaro or Viper (if auto equip.) shifter but would have to figure out the cable length.

I have a B&M Megashifter in my truck.

The install was pretty straight forward. And I took my OD button and mounted it to the dash were the 12 v plug would go(didn't have one) but you can also get a handle from Summit with a button in it, then you can run the wires to that.

All you need for O/D is a momentary button, All is does is complete a ground circuit to tell the computer to turn off O/D.

i know this is an old thread, but to do this on my 95 should be no problem since the button is on the dash already right? is there a specific shifter i need or will any one for a 904 or 727 work?

Any universal floor shifter will work as long as it can work for a 904 or 727 which most do.

And you are golden on the OD button

Anyone done a floor shifter on a 45RFE yet?

Is there a write up anywhere for this? I want to do a floor shifter in my stampede but I don't know where to start! Plus, I need to know roughly where the shifter needs to mount so I know if it will work around my factory leather or if I need to sell the leather and get buckets (which I'd prefer but id hate taking the leather out)
