Shifter

I am doing a 13BTII swap into my 80 SA. I know I will have to move my shifter back 3"-4" , I am just wondering what others have done with the console after doing this? Any pics would be awesome. Thanks guys.

it's my understandingthat you can swap the tail section from your 12a tranny to the t2 tranny and it'll fit in the normal location... but don't quote me on it..verify that with one of the more experienced guys

NA and TII tranny tail housings do not interchange, and the SA tranny is a bit different than the FB/FC NAs. Doc just this past week did a short write up on the options on swaping in a non-SA tranny.

please, anyone?

Can someone tell me if there are any membes here that have done a 13BTII swap into an "SA", not an FB but an SA? I would really like to speak with them.

I do believe it is the same process as a FB swap.

His concern/question is what needs to be done differently in the SA body when mounting the TII tranny. I guess he didn't find your thread about tranny swaps you posted recently doc.

This should give the heads up on a different trans in the SA.
