Floor shifter

[Duke66]

I did a quick search but didn't see what I needed. This is probably easy for the pros.
How do you know where to cut the hole to put in a B&M Mega shifter in the floor?
Thanks alot

I have installed (2) of these over the years. One of the advantages of a cable operated shifter is you place it wherever you want, as long as it is in reach of the cable.

Yeah sorry it's a TH350. That's sweet it's that easy.
Thanks

You have to:

-Drill holes for the shifter
-Cut hole for shifter cable
-Cut holes in the carpet or mat
-Get under the truck and install the cable brackets and the lever arm for the cable. You will also need to adjust the cable
-Extend the neutral safety switch and reverse light wires to the shifter
-Trim the plastic shroud to match the contour of the floor
-Make some sort of bracket to hold stock shifter on the column in the park position

Not a tough job. Lots of fun to manually shift!

and make sure the shifter cable is going through the floor as straight as possible.. mine had to much of a bend it it, resulting in me breaking the cable over time.

Once its in make sure the shifter works in every gear before starting the truck.
