This modification typically involves replacing the steering column assembly and installing a new floor-mounted shifter, which may require adjustments to the vehicle’s wiring and linkage. It's important to ensure compatibility with the transmission type and to follow proper installation procedures for safety and functionality. Additionally, this change can improve interior aesthetics and provide more space in the cabin.

Multiple rods vs. just one. Column shift linkage is also a LOT different (and more complex) than floor shift linkage is. If I knew what you were working with I could tell you how to install it step by step.
