Steering Column Shift Indicator ?

56, Wanting column shift, with a 6 speed auto trans. Iddit, Flaming River, Cpp all have an indicator for 3&4 speed autos. Are there any 6 speed indicators available? Also while running a Mustang IFS, is a 30" column - 3" drop about right?

Don't think you will find anything like that. My 2017 Ford Escape has a 7 speed automatic but the shifter just has PRNDS. I guess the D and S take care of the 7 speeds?

Not seen anything like that. My DD uses a trigger type switch on the column shifter and a dash indicator when I want to have a specific gear. Guess you use that for towing, no idea really. I also have a separate tow/haul mode on the truck.
As for column sizing, look at Ididit web site and videos. There is some great info on how to figure out column sizing and drops. I used a 30" tilt column and 3" drop. Your results may be different.
