Re: Console difference? Reply #1 – March 22, 2020, 10:43:50 AM In the full length console cars like my '83 the only difference is the trim plate covers for the auto or stick. I believe the 83-84 cars got the full consoles and the 85-88 cars could get the consolettes or full length. I checked Eric's site and my years are correct - https://www.coolcats.net/modifying/console.htmlThe other thing that is missing is the manual transmission tunnel hump on the floor of the car if the car was not originally a stick car. You don't have to have one to make it a stick car but they are very nice as it squares up the tunnel so the lower boot seals to the body. Just in case you do not know what I am referring to here is what you can get for a Fox Mustang:https://lmr.com/item/LRS-7277A-K/1979-93-Mustang-Manual-Transmission-Hump-KitTo get one for our cars you have to remove one from a donor car.

Things are pretty close in my manual-converted '83. Quote Selected
