Shifter location?

[rayven14]

I know this has been asked a million times before, but, I couldn't find it while searching.

 

So, what's the distance between the stock location and the KA/SR position for the tranny shifter, you know like where it sticks up through the floor ...  You know, like three four five inches back from the factory position.

Three four five inches sounds about right. But if you're wanting to know to cut your tunnel to put in a KA or SR jus measure the difference between the two.

Part of that question depends on which exact trans you are using. 2wd truck ka trans is a different length than 240sx ka trans. If you tell us what is going in where, you might get a better answer

I wouldn't cut your center consoles at all .... some people move their KA/SR further back than others

[rayven14]

Im trying to figure out width for rear section of the console specifically for those guys that move the shifter further back. Thanks Indy 510

Oh got ya. Didn't make that connection. Then I would agree with Indy, let your swapped customers cut them for themselves. I doubt many are farther back than 5 inches. I will measure my z22 swap tomorrow and tell you much farther back it is.

[q-tip]

I didn't make the connection either, but I would leave them uncut, giggity, so each person can put the hole where they want it , giggity.

[rayven14]

Well ultimately yes I'd love to leave them uncut, however I'd hate to see someone do a hack job on a console when I have all the tools to do it pretty clean like. And again the further back the shifter goes the wider the console has to be to accommodate the shift boot ring... that's what Im trying to figure out.

Geez, a thread about uncut trannys.

 

This is right up Mikes alley :rofl:

I'm getting about 4 to 4 1/4 inches farther back on my Z22 720 long tail transmission. Somebody with an S chassis KA take a measurement on yours. That's one of the longest ka/z/l transmissions I believe...
