Please explain in detail why your kit will not work with an '03 - '06 Escalade center console, cause that is exactly what I want to do. Maybe we can figure something out. No BS. Keep up the good work!!!
@@jhuff692 The cupholder portion of the console is completely different. My kit is made to come out exactly in the center of the left half of the cupholder in the silverado console to keep the actual cupholder functional on the right side. It would probably work but it would not look right, and I have no way of finishing it off with a shift boot since the cupholder is not removable like the silverado one to add a shift boot.
@@TyBrink I hear you. I am determined to get this done with the Escalade dash so if just a matter of the cup holder functionality I am willing to sacrifice that. I completely understand the engineering limit you described but Im sure I can figure out a solution that will look clean. Lookin out for your next vid!!!
That's a really clean looking install! I'm surprised gm didn't do this from the factory. It's cool you're doing a complete kit minus the console. Nice work designing the kit.
I just flipped the 4x4 handle 180 and i cut a slot for the lever and used that brush looking peice like what goes around the inner handles on chevy door panels
Very nice you did pretty much the same thing I did. Slight difference on mine I took a pair of old swing Springer forks and welded them together after I bent them, then I fitted the 4 by 4 knob on that. Interesting note since the 4WD shifter rod is now oval shaped you need to make a notch where the brush lined slot will interfere with the rod in 4wd low (Not a detriment considering its Spring steel & hidden behind the plastic consul panel).
Don’t own a Chevrolet, however I do own a 2010 6.4 F250 with a ZF6 and this has got me wanting to do this with a 2011+ center console in that truck🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sooo I just put this console in my single cab right. Kinda wanted to swap it to manual like my buddy did his. Now that I see this is possible. I may have to pull the trigger
Ty, you ain't responded in these messages for a few years brother. We need you. I need this kit. 😁 Sent you an email also. I'd be stoked if we got word from you. Heck even if you were to say, "sorry no longer making them" would be better than going through the trouble and spending money on an 03 console if we'll never get a chance to get this kit from you any longer.
Impressive concept and I wish you success, but I have concerns about duty cycle and failure points if this is the final product. The attachment point between bracket and transmission hump appears to be done by self-tapping metal screws. Please check often to see if these get pried up. The weld point on the new shaft will also be subjected to forces in multiple dimensions, stressing the weld. Lastly, it is not obvious but I hope you are using delrin shouldered bushings to bear the brunt of the wear, otherwise, the metal on metal contact of the dogbone ends on the yokes will gradually result in grooves and subsequent slack. A stronger design would have larger contact points between connecting shaft to shifters to distribute the oblique forces. Paint the parts to nullify the prospect of corrosion and failure of the device.
Hey RPM I see u are polite in a sense of criticizing Mr Brink's Ingenuity,but I was wondering if u could give me list of wat I might need to fabricate this shifter for a obs 95 chevy not including console and any other cosmetics TIA by the way Ty B ur an EFFIN BAdAss
It is a good ideal but I wouldn’t take it as no where criticizing are politely at all but if anything advice because something will happen it happens to anything but I do know as far for the bracket tack weld it are use JB weld on it before I crewed it down with red loctite but it is neat though fun GM stopped using them in 1500 but it’s now seems like more people r trying to use the old stick but guess with all the haters for combustion is going to end it all
The Remote console shifter concept is interesting and cool to see, but i honestly perfer the stock shifter in these trucks, also what do you do with all your stock shift levers? Im in need of one
I kept both of the levers I took out of this truck and my 04 RCSB. I really like the stock lever as well, I'll probably go back to it at some point in one of my trucks.
It probably depends mostly on the console you use. The kit might bolt up to the 93 transmission and function, but the angles, offsets, and measurements are all specifically for the 99-06 silverado using the 03-06 console. I believe the 90s consoles are all smaller and this shifter will most likely not work in any of them, that's if it even bolts up to the transmission.
Will this work with a T56 or Tremec 6060 in this console? Or do you even need all this with one of those transmissions? Sorry I have an 01 RCSB that was a Procharged 4L80E truck and I sold the D1-SC to change the setup. I'm doing a different motor, ditch the 4L80E and go 6 speed.
This only works with the stock 5 speeds. With the t56 according to what I've read you only really need a custom shift lever to come up through the console since the rear shifter location comes out pretty close to under the cupholder hole.
@@TyBrink Thanks so much. I really want to get a ZL1 or CTS-V engine and transmission to drop in with just a ported blower, pulleys, intake, headers, fueling, clutch and tune with larger heat exchanger in the bottom of the bumper. But I'm considering throwing all my coilover suspension, 14 bolt, BBK, and an 06 HCI LQ9 with a 6 speed. That way all the kinks can be worked out and then maybe later on build a single turbo kit on the LQ9 making 700hp. With the D1-SC it was making 13 psi on a cam only 5.3 through a 4L80E and a 3200 stall. I was maybe making 550whp or so but I wasn't extremely impressed with how strong it felt.
Theoretically, could this kit be used in a Tahoe or a Yukon manual transmission swap? Given that the stock shifter location would come under the console in an undesirable spot. So this kit would bring it to a better location.
The stock 5 speed shifter stick you mean? I sold the blue truck with the stock setup in it and I'm going to hang on to my stock one out of the silver truck. The factory rubber boot stays in the truck
Probably not from a corvette. You need something that is designed to handle a lot of weight. The zf6 came in 99-06 Silverado 3/4 ton trucks with the duramax that's probably the best option.
Que tal! Me interesa todo el kit COMPLETO, sin la palanca para 4x4, solo con la palanca para transmisión de 5 velocidades y su portabasos con bota modificada. Y la consola central.
Any way to figure out if this works on the zf6? Been looking for a zf6 swap for my suburban and this would obviously work out amazing if it would work with that trans
I wouldn't recommend it. It makes shifting clunky and difficult, so you end up shifting slower than with the stock shifter. Not to mention the guy that makes them is very rude and hard to deal with, that's why I made this remote shifter kit to work with the stock shifter only. It shifts way easier and smoother with the stock shifter.
The shifter might connect to the transmission but its designed only for 99-06 Silverado using the 03-06 console. The measurements and angles are specific to work with that setup so it won't work right with a 98
I have a 97 extended cab manual transmission and iwant to do a 03-06 Silverado extended cab interior swap with the same set up you have. Do you think you’re shifter kit will work? Or do you think it will be different?
It all depends where the console ends up compared to where it does on the 03 silverado. It's probably not going to line up and have the shift knob centered in the cupholder.
Not without having a truck with a t56 to mock it up. You can just use the rear shifter location on the transmission and it ends up right under the cupholder hole.
