Sounds like you have a T85?  If so, that's a great heavy duty transmission.  I have a T86 with O/D in my Tbird.  I suppose you could adapt a TBird shifter to work in your car.  It mounts on the floor hump.  Personally, I would keep the O/D.  I love mine.

On second thought, because of all the complications, I'm going to leave it stock.
The O/D is working great and 'if it ain't broken, do't fix it".
Leaving it stock, might make it easier to sell to a buyer who wants stock.
Thanks to all the Y'blockers who contributed to me with advice and help.

I had the OD transmission and spent a long time looking for a Hurst (or any) floor shifter and never found one. Eventually went with a 5 speed mustang using a Mummert adapter.  Still have to fabricate a decent shift lever and boot, otherwise a great swap.  I have a long paper explaining all the details if anyone is interested.  Write me directly at jackgr@aol.com.

contact the seller with a message on eBay - he did not have what I wanted listed in his eBay store but he did have it in his stash of parts and it was very reasonable.

Dear Lord,
Thanks, the tranny is a T-85 so that bracket on Ebay will not work
Thanks for you time and effort, really appreciated.

I 'm trying to find out what I have.
I see numbers on the tranny but none say what it is.
Where should I look ?
Thanks,

Do you have a T86 or T85? The bracket that Dan posted is for a T86 OD.
