    Default pre98 console swap

    What's involved with this? Is it just a straightforward swap? Do you need any parts besides the pre98 console? Will the ones from an automatic worth with my svt or do I need one from a manual transmission car? Do you need to extend any wires for the radio or anything like that?

    i don't have much insight, other than to say that auto and manuals have the same consoles (my damn manual has no tach), but why would you want a pre-98 console?

    true .... but then again I knew I had posted the required parts in this forum and on the old one ...


    I got an IM from someone last night asking me a similar question, was it the original poster?

    There is very few days I don't drive with some kind of drink in my car. I would die without a cupholder installed.

    Updated Pre-98 cupholder FTW.
