Default Info on Floor Shifters for Automatics...

Theres a guy I do work for that has an old ranger... he didnt do much with it. Its kinda his bullshitting vehicle so to speak...but anyway, he put a floor shifter in it and i thought it was a pretty neat idea. I forget who it was on here.. but it was either flipper or someone who did a floor shifter conversion.

My question is, where is a good place to get one and how difficult is the conversion? I was looking on jegs and found one for around $178. The one my freind has is a "touch" shifter. Instead of moving the shifter around like a manual you just hit the shift **** up or down and it will shift immediatly.

If anyone has some info on this it would help. I have a pretty good idea on how to remove the column shifter.. but is there a shroud i can buy to replace the stock one on the steering wheel to get rid of that empty gap from where the column shifter used to be.

Thx in advance

Don't know much on the swap, but if you do it...you should be able to use the cover for the column from a truck with a manual tranny.
