AUTO 4th gen console

AUTO 4th gen console
I know..."search the boards". Well, the reason I know you all yell at everyone is from extensive searching. All I have seen on the boards is "I've seen it done"....no instructions....
How do I put this:
Over this:
I know, it will need modifications...but what? Looks to be about 3-4" off. Do I move the entire linkage up? I don't want to hack it that bad...but I already invested the money in this auto...no need to go and buy a whole nother console and toss this one
Is there somewhere CHEAP I can get just the shifter plate? Checked all the local junks and nothing....

I have not done this, but there is a plate the holds your current shifter where it is, that needs to be removed and the shifter from a 4th gen placed where it was.
Yes, a manual trans'd console top is all you need to make your current setup work.

Do you happen to know prices of each of these options? I called one Pontiac dealer..and he said he would need the VIN for the 97 T/A that this console came out of to get the correct shifter linkage? EH? Anyways, I WOULD prefer to keep the shift indicator as it would be different...and look more "factory".
I see on this list alot of people like to overload their cars with 101 custom setups...I myself like this as well...but like to integrate it into the car in such a way that someone that doesn't know my car can't tell it didn't drive off the lot like that.
Thanks

Doh...there's a way around that though...just wondering what the cost difference is between buying a 4th gen shifter to fit in vs buying the top plate. The schmucks that work at the Pontiac by me tell me I need a vin# to correctly match up the shift linkage for my car. ARGH!
