Interested in using an aftermarket column with a column shifter for my Coyote 6R80. Anyone done this and how? Not alot of room on firewall. Just kind of like the clean look of a column shifter.

If you have some engineering and fab skills, this may help to come up with your own solution.

Typical Ford column shifter detent. Some careful welding and grinding could get the 7 detent positions for the 6 speed.

Would need new decal positions for the indicator as well.

Hi, I'm changing my mind about a floor vs colum and have an issue with the colum shift lever/Coyote engine interfearance. What are youusing for colum, body lift (I don't want one) and have modified my IDIDIT colum for engine clearance for the Coyote Valve covers and U-joint. Also redesigned M/C installation (Hydra Boost) so it mounts on the L/S of the firewall doubler straigh and level, looks like it was designed that way. Rather easy modifaction. dmillspaugh@msn.com

The 10 speed we have at work actually simplifies the shifter, and I bet it will work with the 6 speed as well. Fewer detents.
P R N D M, with M being manual mode. You would need to check the software you are using to know if that pattern is compatible. Then what to do with the manual switches.
