you can but only with the quicksilver and star shifters cause the 1 2 D N R P is on the right hand side with the others there on the left

Would they even pick up on that? Make up your own 12DNRP for the other side if you want. also i think that they have to have the standard thing that doesnt let you select with out pressing the button on some gears.

I have a megashifter in My VL and neutral safety switch works, reverse lights work, has illumination and the Gear indication is on the right hand side Anyone know about mounting one lower however?? I was wondering this, how do you mount it lower?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

here you go; as with cutting the tunnel, aslong as its as strong or stronger than the crappy standard plate its perfectly fine. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks for that any chance of a pic with the console out?? showing the box?? I may have trouble doing this, I dont know how much room i will have in that trans tunnel....very tight fit with the TH700 lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
