Default powerglide shifter

I know I have seen it somewhere on the forum and I searched but came up dry.

What shifter do I use for the Powerglide,transbrake? (original a4 car with auto console) Would it be better/easier to use a manual console?

Consoles are the same for a 6spd or auto. I'm sure the ECS boys will chime in and get you the right shifter. Doug's set up looks it came from the factory.

Are you saying the automatic shifter (stick, ****, face) all drops out and can be replaced with a boot and will look just like a m6 center? (sorry, have no experience in a 6-speed vette and I haven't seen my own but twice in 1 1/2 years.:o)

For the ones that we installed, I used a stock 6 spd shift boot, and a B&M Pro Bandit with the magna shift handle. We made two small brackets off the mounts with a spacer, and bolted it right to tunnel very easily. We can probably send you some pics if it helps.
