Jay, I'm sure you'll agree that using something like this would have been nice when you were racing your galaxie with the column shift.
I am not sure what a C4 looks like, but I'll bet it is similar. I'm also not sure how a manual valve body would change things.
After thinking about it, I would imagine this mod would not work on a manual valve body.
I have a stock floor shift, but racing jitters/nerves always mean the possibility of moving the shifter too far, and then there's the consistency factor.
I have in the past used a B&M floor shifter, but they aren't as convenient as the stock shifter and obviously don't look stock.
When I race my 67 mustang I just leave it in gear, but it is a small cam motor and the low 5400 shift rpm works out.
When I get around to upgrading the engine I will be doing this mod to it also as I like just putting it in drive, punch it, no worries.
