automatic transmission with min console

[nitroxsteve]

I am thinking about swapping my 5spd for an auto and was wondering if the floor shifter from a XJ would work with the mini console? I would prefer to put the shifter on the steering column but not sure how easy it will be to find a new column. Will any other steering columns work other than from a MJ?

I'm planning on doing the same swap on my 88, from what I've been told the columns in our trucks are the same as GM columns. I would think S-10, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

As far as your first question, yes, you can use the AW4 floor shifter in conjunction with your mini console.

I was thinking the same thing. I may pull my column and carry it to the yard to make a comparison to the S10.

They are both Saginaw columns but the mounts may be different .

Helped my pops rebuild his column with one from s10 can't remember year something he rounded up,but as stroker stated the attachment points were different on that particular year we used but the parts were interchangeable. Saying all that i think there are some specific years that are direct replacements, try searching google I wanna say I saw a writeup on naxja. Good luck

I was thinking the wiring could be different too.

Wiring is a non issue just swap you 5sd column harness to the new column no extra wires for automatic in the column (that I'm aware of).

I used a Hurst shifter in the past but you can probably pick up a used B&M floor shifter cheap and make up your own cable. I wouldn't bother with a column shifter but that's me.

I had a column shift, but he column broke so i converted it to a floor shift, and it works great.
