    My dad taught me how to build a shifter on the cheap .Under 25.00 way under.I hope i can figure out to load attachment. ebay pics 176.jpg A couple of nuts bolts peice of al thread 2 heims and one peice of flat stock. Pictures tell all.l still have to go back and smooth out arm and nuts with a flapper disc. Just thought i would share.Also had to flip trans. selector upside down. Made new flat bracket to work the opposite way.For all the guys that dont think this is safe .Im putting in a switch so car can only be started in park.

    I would skip the cheap and go for the quality. Every time. You won't be sorry later!
