So i had a b&m short throw shifter for my 2g laying around and decided to see if i could put it in my 1g. I have a eBay special in the 1g right now but the b&m is so much nicer. With some cutting and grinding and one piece off the 2g i was able to make it work. . The only piece off the 2g was the part that the shifter bolts to in the first pic.
I had to grind this piece some for clearance and then grind on the plate that everything bolts to which you can see in the 2nd pic. I had to grind that plate for the shifter cables to clear since the b&m shifter is longer than stock. I put all new plastic bushings in so everything should be nice and tight with know play in it. I have to weld a small solid piece of tubing on tomorrow for the spring to rest against and cut down the shifter so its not so high in the center console.
I will take a pic tomorrow with it all installed. Let me know what you guys think.
