    Default Tremec TKO600 in 1984 Mustang With Center Console

    I am finally converting to a Tremec TKO600 in my 1984 Mustang, which also has a center console. What I’m finding is the shifter is a bit too far to the passenger side for my taste. When shifting into fifth gear the entire center console moves. The paperwork I got from Tremec said there is a 2” offset shifter available, but upon further research there’s a footnote that says it won’t work with a center console. I also think offsetting the shifter 2” might be excessive. By my guesstimate I’d say a 1” offset would put it right where it needs to be. Has anyone else faced this issue and what did you do to resolve it? Thanks.

    Without pictures, I am having difficulty visualizing the problem. Is the shifter handle hitting the center console when in 5th gear? Do you need to possibly trim the trans tunnel for more clearance of the shifter body itself? Again I think pictures would be helpful.

    I am not sure it will solve your problem, again depending on what is the root issue, but I recommend MGW shifters. https://www.mgwshifters.com/shifters/mustangs/76

    I like the adjust-ability of the unit and the overall shift feel and quality. There are other options out there such as Steeda, Pro 5.0, etc. that might work too depending on what exactly you need. Good Luck!
