any cable shifter like this one can be mounted as far forward or backwards as you like as the constraints are only the cable length. I have one of these set up in my XM coupe and was easy to install with only a 10mm (from memory) hole to drill.

Hi Patrick,
I was only talking to the guys at work about this a smoko today and one of the old guys was telling me about the Valiants with the dash mounted push button shifters. Who knows how they operated surely back they weren't electronically operate

Yes the Valiants were cable operated. The snag is that the cables enter the transmission directly (no external moving linkages) and the park sprag lever operates it's own separate cable.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the info, dam there expensive theres no way I'd be spending $1000 on a push button setup for the car unless it was the motor, gearbox or differential so it looks as if we'll install an after marker shifter and place it as forward
