TKX shifter for console cars

I just heard from Jody Hagg at Jody's Transmissions.
He has completed the forward-offset shifter for the new TKX 5 speed and it will be available around the end of Feb 2022.

No but Modern Driveline developed a nice shifter and it's very expensive.
And you can't buy it without buying a trans with it ! They want $3400, which is $600 added to the trans price.

How much are you needing to offset Beth? I installed a '96 T56 in my '66 with a bench seat. After moving the seat all the way back, the shifter still needed at least 2 inches more clearance. After pricing the offset shifters, I decided to make my own. Sawed the stub down 3/8" above the donut seal...as low as possible. Then I used a 3 1/2" long chunk of 1/4" flatbar and drilled 3/4" hole in one end, then welded that around the stub. Welded a pod on the forward portion of the flatbar similar to the stub of a typical hurst comp plus shifter, then just bolted my hurst handle to it. Worked great....and cheap.

The 66-67 shifter position is forward and to the left to put it where the console had the Muncie shifter.
It's not a problem unless you want to keep the stock console, which is near and dear to my heart ! LOL

Have you shopped around locally to see if any CNC peeps can mill something? Is it far out of whack just to space the shifter off the "two bolt" stubby shifter shaft?
