C3 auto to manual

Hi guys, almost ready to put in the BBC with the Muncie from the sbc and auto. Does anyone have a template or specific location where I will need to cut to allow for the Muncie stick and travel in the cockpit? Don’t want to be just cutting holes!

Thanks!

Should work without cutting anything. Good Luck!

The AIM has the templates for 4spd and AT. Depending on model year, the factory AT hole in the tranny hump is larger than you need for a 4 spd.

I must be missing something..? The only hole ( approx 2 in) in the hump is for the cable. Are you saying the hurst shifter is going to fit through there and be able to shift...nah...pic attached.

Not a great pic. Hope this helps.
That's going to need some trimming! My 68 was very different.

Didn't need anything.

I assume you already have the 4 speed. If not, I have the complete setup that I removed when I went to a 5 speed. M20 tranny, stock shifter, clutch and pressure plate, and driveshaft. Interested?

would help if you had posted the year of your car , there not all the same.

in your pic theres a bulge/depression further back , where your auto shift mechanism sat , on the earlier vettes that area was cut out for the 4 speed shifter , if the car was made with an auto , a rubber seal was put over the hole and the auto shifter bolted on top.
