Columnstick in Chrysler Vision?

1534 Views 10 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  EagleESI
Does the columnstick from Chrysler New Yorker 93-97 or a Dodge Intrepid 98-04, fit in a 1996 Chrysler Vision with autostick? Does the columnstick work with autoshift?

If it fits, is it bolt-on? What components do I have to replace to make it work?

Or is it called "column shifter" maybe? :/
I'm not sure if its compatible but I would guess it is but it sounds like sounds like a lot of work. The autostick wouldn't work because the column shift doesn't have the second movement.

You would need the column, the shift cables, the gear shift indicator cable, new carpeting.

Why would you want to do this?

Ok.

Because I want to make my Vision to look like a unmarked copcar, with pushbumper and everything.

And a friend just showed me his Police-Charger and it had a columnshifter because he had a lot of electronics between the front seats, which would not fit if he had a floormounted shifter.

That´s why.

But, if it is to much work, i´ll have to find another solution for this problem...

Actually, ignoring the difficulty of the rest of such a project, getting it to shift on command would be the easy part. He could use any momentary switches for the up- and down-shift signals once the shifter (of any type) is one position beyond 'D'.

You mean just wiring a separate switch somewhere, like paddle shift. That would work, making it attractive might be a bit harder.
Does the Intrepid 98-04 and the Vision 93-97, have the same typ of steering column, or do they differ? Just asking because I wonder if it is possible to mount the shifter on my steering column?

Yes.

What if there was no change whatsoever in appearance of your car? The Puttstick hides under the dash and (when cruise control is turned off and shifter is in A/S or '3' position) uses the Resume/Accel and Coast cruise control buttons for the A/S shifting.
Yes.

That would be the way to do it for sure. Probably the easiest way as well, Very clever.
FYI some year model Town and Country's and Caravans came with autostick on the column.........I do not where and when but I have seen..

And technically be hard if not illegal to get the radio equipment that police use now and days so having space is not that big of an issue. I have floor shifter and I carry a Bearcat Trunk Tracker Scanner and a cb within my c ar with no space issues.
