Ba Shifter Conversion.

[KutaXR6t]

Hey guys

looking for some wise words on the matter of,

a) if its possible and b) how expensive would it be, to convert the ba automatic shifter to the bf or even fg shifter (more likely bf due to similarities)

I have a BA and have got the interior looking good but im just overall unhappy with the appearance of the shifter unit, it just seems so blocky compared to the elegant leather shifter on the bf series.

I was thinking about it and even though the 4 speed and 6 speed are way different the shifter shouldnt vary in function so unless theres some sizing or wiring issues could be quite a smooth mod to do, but anyways anyone know anything about doing something like this?

Momo do aftermarket shifters, might be worth a look!!

Checked out some of the MOMO stuff, not for me only seem to be replacement shifter heads and chrome inserts for the gear stick

Im more after an entire swap out from the BA 4 speed shifter panel to this...

possible? like are the sizes similar?

I wud think it is harder than it appears.

you could get a fg shifter mechanism from a wrecker and experiment.

if I was gonna look at doing something like this, I would prol go down the route of cutting both shifter stalks in half, and having them joined. then tinkering with the selctor rod to disengage gear locks.

I dont think the shifter surround would work unless you grafted that part of the console into a ba one. that would mean fibreglass, bog, paint.

dont start it unless you have the skills/ patience to finish.
