    Omni Automatic shifter

    I'm contemplating trying an automatic transmission in my 1986 Omni Turbo.

    Anyone have a nice inexpensive complete shifter/cable assembly?

    Looking for nice stock parts, not interested in aftermarket.

    Probably need an automatic trans mount too.

    Thanks
    Randy

    If you can't find an L-body shifter, a 1st Gen neon shifter is a lot nicer, and can probably be made to fit in an Lbody housing with creative trimming.

    I'll keep that in mind Mike.

    With one hand my creativity is somewhat lacking but it's worth considering.

    Thanks

    I'm using a Shadow console and shifter in my race car
    Just had to trim some length off the front of the console to get it to line up the original mounting holes.
