Switching shifter from column to floor

do any of you guys know what all shifters will fit with the 94 ranger..i'm wanting to put a floor shifter in it when i get my console together. has anyone done it or know of a shifter that will fit the tranny on a 94 ranger 4.0L

you mite could try an older gen I 2.8/2.9 floor shifter, not sure on how the tranny linkage works tho.

check out or call gennie shifter

there web site is down but you can call them at (866)623-1963

im saying use the ranger one, cuz the autos are the same....its not hte best lookin piece but it*should* all "bolt" in lol.

Could i just get a B&M shifter that used to go in older cars? how hard would that be to mess with the tranny linkage? thast my main concern is the linkage if i knew it would work with a b&m shifter i would definately go that route

you should be able to put a B&M rachet shiffter in there i did the sam thing to a 78 chevy nove colum to floor

You can get the B&M Quicksilver shifter. I helped a buddy put it in his truck. It is built for the ford AOD. it comes with all the brackets and calbles you need. unless it is the newer style AOD then you will need the extra install kit that is listed on the side of the box. works great and looks cool other then the ball handle but you can change that out for the T handle and it looks hella better. gonna be doing something simialar with my truck when i buld my consol. you can also use the MegaShifter if you want the lockout handle.

How hard was it to switch the links and stuff from the column to the floor...? about how many hours did it take you to do this ?

rangers dont have an AOD, its an a4ld different and even crappier tranny. but it could be made to fit. i dont really mess w/ auto trannys(im a manual guy). also comparing ford to chevys is like apples to oranges. just cuz it bolted on the chevy, it will more then likely have to be fabbed up to teh ford.
