Bowtie70SS Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I just saw the shifters that the H2 Hummers have. Man they look pretty cool. It sure does look like it would fit in my console...Anybody know how much they are, or if they're available seperately? It does look expensive. I would love to have a floor shift, after all it is an SS. Does anyone make a shifter conversion kit? Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rays B4U Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I drive a '05 Trailblazer for work and it has a floor shifter and I really like it. To bad the SS doesn't come with one, it would sure add to the SS option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Yeah Truckin is where I saw the shifter...as for pics I don't have the ability (actually I'm a dummy and don't know how) I am all for using original parts to make it look factory. I tried going to the Hummer website to look for parts but it was a no go. I'll have to check out the Trailblazer shifter. I would just like to do away with the granny shift.

cwest94 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 One reason I like Chevy/GMC trucks is that it does have the colume shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edessa Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Here are some pics and a web site that you may find helpful. I found these on another website that someone had posted about converting their non SS truck. H2 Parts web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.0ss Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 NOW THIS WOULD BE COOL!!! I hate the Colum shifter! one in the centerconsole would be really killer cool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Thanks Edessa...I gues I couldn't ask for anything more except for the cash to do it. I do volunteer if someone wants to buy the stuff I'd be glad to be a test mule. Later Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haul@ss Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 i was thinkin about this while readin the mag too! looks tight. maybe too pricy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawss04 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 The easiest thing to do is to go to a salvage yard and find a totaled one and get the whole assy. I've already thought about it, I deal with few but money is a little tight right know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 But, you would loose your cup holders...... Seriously, have you guys ever used a H2's shifter. Cheep, Taiwanese Crap, Flimsy, are just a few words that come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Never used the shifter, but to convert to floor shift might be easier with factory parts. I wonder how many sensors and switches are involved? I also wonder if you could use the shifter cable already on the truck..since the column shifter is already cable operated. I was also thinking of the horseshoe type shifter in a 68-72 SS Chevelle/Camaro . These are pretty cheap and they're repoped so you can get a new one. Also the SS heritage is undeniable and I like that. I'll have to look under the dash and see how much is controlled by the cable where it hooks to the column.

Grim_Smoker Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I think it'd be pretty cool to have a console shifter as well. I was a previous H2 owner, and I quickly swapped out the stock plastic POS shifter handle for a nice Black/Silver Aluminum handle, and it made a world of difference. Come to think of it...going from a 2000 Silvy Z51 to an H2 to the SS, I really would like a console shifter...would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
