[QUOTE="Tob, post: 15886978, member: 83412"] George purchased a '17 SS 1LE as he was considering developing a shifter for it. So we tracked it at Roebling Road and then tore it apart the next day at his shop. Of course the OEM shifter in it could be "tightened up a bit" as it had some fairly soft bushings in it which also ensured zero NVH from it. The Camaro has quite a bit of ancillary componentry that has to be removed in order to even access the shifter, much more so than what you deal with in a typical Mustang shifter swap. It bordered on ridiculous. Once you access the shifter, you see how little room there is (vertically, anyway) for a typical aftermarket shifter. Pretty much only a pendulum style could be used as well as there is no room for the "box" of a single axis shfter with a trunion. George could have easily made a shifter for it. The issue is that the install would drive the cost way up for those that would be paying a shop for it and would negate a large number of those looking to do it themselves. This turned Barton off just as well as it did MGW. You can see the 1LE in the background in the following photo. George bought a new GM crate TR6060 for the SS/1LE/ZL1 cars and I whipped up a stand for it which helps with design. [ATTACH=full]1482872[/ATTACH] The boot comes off quickly and then you see how compact the stock shifter is - it had to be as GM has crammed everything very tightly into the tunnel where the shifter resides.
