4-Speed Hole
« on: January 22, 2008, 08:44:36 AM »
Does anyone have the Dimensions or Pics of where the Hole for the 4-speed goes in the floor tunnel? I have replaced the whole floor pan and dont want to do a hack job(cut a square hole) any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

If someone doesn't here, go to www.camaro.net.  Someone there posted a template a while back.

the original hole looks like it was cut with a torch.

I have a Plasma Cutter I could use if that is the case, but I will probably still clean it up to look neat.I will use the chrome plate as a template but im a little worried about getting the hole exact. Thanks guys, I can always count on yall for Great info.

Original manual transmission cars had a stamped hole that left a "lip" approximately 1/8" wide that was directed downward for rigidity.

I disagree about the stamped hole.  Check the threads on this site.  Mine and everyone I've ever seen is torch cut.

I've always been under the impression that 69's were torched, and 68's (and I belive 67's also) were stamped.

The 1969 manual shifter hole in the tunnel was torch cut. In 1967 the hole for a floor shift whether manual or automatic was pressed cut and was reenforced. I believe 1968 was the same as 1967.

all 1967 and 68's i have owned and restored were Air chissled from the factory from the top. leaving a edge  about 1/8 down toward the ground. I am not familiar with the 1969. Hope that helps

It is a 69, and thanks to all of you, I learn something new all the time. I was a little confused because I have owned a few 67's and 68's and the four speed cars looked to be pressed cut so I thought that so was the 69.  So Thanks for clearing that up.

68 was pressed and had the reinforcement ring on the bottom of the hole (under the car).
