Run you about 10 bucks each though. Atleast thats what I paid for them at a race shop downtown St. Paul, MN. You could probably get them cheaper in Summit Racing. I never bothered to look.

Car: 85 Sport Coupe Camaro Engine: 1969 Camaro 350 Transmission: TH350 | Gauges are all hooked up (minus the speedo and tach) as well as the lighting for everything. I hooked up the blower motor to the fan switch so everything turns on. But that was just for my heater because I took my A/C out of the car.
As far as the speedo I have not completely hooked it up. I probably won't either; atleast not right away. I'm going to do the T-56 conversion in which case I will hook the speedo up to the correct VSS. I do have a VSS in my possesion; it would work with a TH700-R4, but I'm currently running a TH350.
The tach, well it would work but I have to hook it up with the filter, which I have yet to do. There is another guy in the MN F-body club that is running the same setup as me and hes got the tach working, but hasn't messed with the speedo.\
Everything will work as long as you have the correct wiring connections. It's not rocket science, but it helps to have the corret wiring diagrams so you can see what you need to hook into.

Also, automatic 4th gen consoles can be used. But, it does require some modification to the shifter location, the transmission hump in the floor, some grinding on high points in the shifter, stretching the shifter cables, and trimming some fat off the console.
| Can these issues be remedied by using a complete 4th gen automatic shifter to match the console? or is the actual mounting location too far off for this to make a difference?

-menace | the 4th gen shifter is smaller so it should work with minimal modification.
I installed my 3rd gen shifter into my brothers 96 Trans Am last year. My dad was using the Trans Am and couldn't figure out the MegaShifter so I put that into my Formula.

It will have to be modified a little for clearence and you can't use the spacers in the box. I put it in with my console and it sits perfect. Nice and low. I wrapped the shifter boot around the B&Ms handle. Looks like a stick. The geeks at the emmisions station tried to shift it into first for like 5 miniutes.  | |

Car: 91 GTA, 07 Solstice, 71 Camaro Transmission: 6 speed, 5 speed, nothing | Do people even bother to read before they post?  There are quite a few members running around here with 4th gen dashes. I see in at least 3 signatures in this thread where people say they have 4th gen dashes in the car. The one I like the most with a 4th gen is shr00m. (with my settings) On page 2 there is a 3rd gen with a new dash, has the B&N shifter and such

If ya dont knwo what im talking about, there are these plasic things in the bottom of the 4th gen trunk well that you can lock the t tops into. much more convienient then the bags. wondering if anyone has done this? i figure its gotta be a pretty close fit between a 4th gen trunk and a3rd gen trunk. so it shouldnt be too hard to modify if it doesnt fit exactly. | |

Car: 87 Trans AM WS6 Engine: LS1 (not stock...) Transmission: Built T56 Axle/Gears: Strange 12-bolt w/ 3.73 | It was mentioned above, but I didnt see any feedback on it... Will the 4th gen steering column work at all??? I have the column out of a 99 Z28 that Im stripping, and I havent looked at it real good...but my wheel is getting that wobble to it, and instead of tearing the column apart to tighten a few screws, Ide rather just use the nice tight new column. Plus if it fits Im sure the u-joint steering shaft can be made to work also... Let me know if anyone has tried it or knows if it will work. Thanks!
Justin
*edit*...eh...i found some info. looks like it might be a pain. I still might give it a try though. Guess if it works Ill be able to answer that question in the future!
