Mitchell Overdrive

[whirnot]

I made a sleeve out of Vinyl upholstery material to cover the cable shifter, and main shifter. The more I drive it, the more I love it. Have another ordered for another car.

I have seen where people mount the cable to the steering column. The cable does free up some leg room- but when I get the mitchell in the future I will choose to use a shifter. I have driven many cars with the shifter and I love it. Plus- you know where neutral is in the overdrive incase you want to utilize that.

I keep reading about the Mitchell shifter taking up leg room. I have had one for 15 years now in my Town Sedan....but it never gets in the way. I never seat three in the front seat, and don’t ever enter on the passenger side. I find it very natural and handy right where it is....but I guess it doesn’t work for some.

I'm with you Terry. When the stock trans is in third gear there is not any room in that area anyway. As I mentioned earlier (post #20) I extended the Mitchell shifter 4" so it is about the same hight as the stock shifter.
