I have a 84 mustang with a 5 spd and cruise control. When you want to shift you have to disable the cruise.
I cant see why you cant make it work. Find a cruise control column and gut it. Modify as needed and re-install in your not cruise column.
This is exactlly what I plan to do with my short bed unless I can find a tilt column to do this with.
I already have an auto shift column with the cruise and tilt that I am gonna use for parts. I need to find a tilt coulmn for the 4 speed now.
