On 755, I cut the stick on my TKO and moved it Left 3/4" to center it on the tunnel. It looked better to my eye. Most ERAs with the TKO have the stick slightly Right of center.

I am getting parts ready for 838 and it will have a TKX. If I cut the stick to move it Left again, I was thinking about moving it to the location a Toploader shifter would come thru.

My review of prints tells me I need to move the shifter back 1.6" and Left 1.75" to replicate the Toploader location. That puts the shifter Left of center.

Can anyone confirm that is correct? My transmission will be here soon and it is one more thing I can prep before the car arrives later this year.

Secondly, is the ERA shifter handle shortened or modified so that if I move it back it will be uncomfortable or not look like a Toploader?
