Hurst quarter stick is the one I went with. I put in the stock location. Cut a small hole in the shifter boot for the trigger. Left the detent under the boot. Tied up my clutch pedal and ran my trans brake thru my e brake. Now when I am discussing a race $$$. They think I have a 5 speed. I leave on the brake and wait on them at the burger stand. K, that last line does not always work out. But it is still fun to watch the look on their face. If you really want to confuse them. Putt around the staging lanes in 2nd. They will think your clutch is slipping. Makes for a good payday. Good Luck.

Oh I had to move my radio to the lower slot on console. The trigger hits the plastic piece above radio but does not cause a problem

PTC will work wonders with your setup. They hooked me up.
