    Question Push button shifter??? How do I change this?

    Last winter when I pulled the seat out of the 65 Chevy it caught the floor shifter and it was one of those that you had to put a button in to get it to shift. The shifter (grip) disappeared when I took the seat out and someone sole the seat out of my ally before I could put it by the dumpster.

    So now I have a stick, but I have to move these metal parts from the left to the right... like flip them over 180 degrees. I want to just put in a normal shifter without the button, but how do I put in a grip without the button? I need to find a way to keep the "button" in all the time. Can I have someone weld it moved to the right or something? Soon as I do that I can get a normal grip or an 8 ball and just put it on top and call it a day.

    Do you understand what I mean? Does anyone have a suggestion?

    BTW I just put payment on a 305 with a 350 tranny so it'll be on the road in a week or so... then we have to do the wiring. I can't wait to get it on the road by Halloween!!!

    why not swap out the whole shift mechanism for a B&M unit?

    Don't wanna spend the money. All I need is a way to keep that metal in the same place and I don't think I need to spend $200 to do it, I just need an idea.
