    53 -55 trans tunnel help

    Can anyone provide me some measurements? To the center of the acorn nut that holds the shifter cover on, could I get measurements from the floor and then the base of the seat separator when it meets the trans tunnel? I'm trying to locate the center of the shifter hole so I can glass in a replacement piece I have on order. Mine was hacked up for a 4 speed when I got the car. If I have these two measurements I should be able to get the new part in the right location.Thanks in advance, Mike.

      Roy, that would work if I had the linkage. That was missing with all the other transmission parts. I palnned on fabricating one once I had everything put back together. If I know the measurements, I can fix the trans tunnel while the body is off the frame, then fab the linkage or buy one.

        I would think the piece your getting should give you an idea of wear it should fit.
