I had a GM tilt column with a shifter on it. I am a pretty handy guy with all things mechanical, so I thought, I should be able to convert this column to no shifter. I took my time, made sketches and took digital pictures as I went along, and disassembled everything. By the time I had it torn apart enought to consider removeing the shift lever I had the biggest damn mess you ever seen, and threw the whole thing out.----My answer is NO unless you do like Mike P suggests and cut it off in the car and fill the hole with playdough.
