Re: 4th gen center console into 3rd gen

Are you talking about the gap under the cup holder?

If so, what I did to fix it...I stuffed something under the carpet over there to bump it out. I cant remember what I used. I might have used batting from a previous project. Made it look much nicer over there.

Not sure on your auto ****, but I think some guys remove the button mechanism and just put whatever **** they want on there. You wont have to press the button into shift out of park...which would keep me from doing it.

Re: 4th gen center console into 3rd gen

I'm finally installed my console the other day. I don't know if its the way I made the trans crossmember, but the shifter hits one of the supports. Reverse will be a chore to get into and I move the console when I attempt it. Are there any severe repercussions for cutting that particular support away?

Also, the ebrake latch gets caught up in the rubber surround.. is that normal too?

Ghetto, that's a great idea for hiding the ugly gap by the radio.

A little piece of foam from an old torn up seat(Junkyard) stuffed under the carpet will fix that right up....

omega; Sounds like your console needs to move forward, just a bit...
