    Default Column to Floor Shifter?

    So has anyone ever converted from column shifter to floor shifter? Seems like this would be a nightmare to do, but I really want a floor shifter. Easier to just buy another truck? lol

    The floor shifter gives a sporty feel. The column shifter feels like a grandpa truck.

    You can still manually shift an auto. Even in my crappy truck, I'm faster when shifting the gears manually. I just hate using that little thumb switch to do it. A T-handle type shifter would make the jump easier and more precise.

    Upgraded or modified valve bodies give you even more control. I like to think of automatics as clutchless manuals. lol

    Awww man, I love using that little thumb switch to shift gears! I feel all cool and stuff because I don't have to manually push a stick up and down to do it lol....I'm sophisticated and have a button to shift gears haha. My friends love that feature. I'm the exact opposite I guess, I wouldn't want the floor shifter just because I like the thumb switch
