Modern Power with Orginal Floor Shifter
I am thinking about repowering my 19 Capri with modern power with a hydraulic transmission but would like to keep the functionality of the original floor shifter. How have others accomplished this and what was used as the detent for the shifter? Thanks.

Maine Classics makes a bolt on detent adapter.

Re: Modern Power with Orginal Floor Shifter
Yours has the floor shift and mechanical transmission. Hydraulic gears shift a lot easier. When using a hydraulic gear the shifter weighs so much it will move when hitting a wave and go directly from forward to reverse. A detent stops that.
