82 trans am shifter
i have an 82 trans am with a TH-350 its a 3 speed auto and i dont know how to fix the shifter ****, its the part that goes onto the shifter steam that you hold onto while going into a different gear. i have done days of searching for a new handle or replacement handle and cant seem to find one. i dont know how the handle work if theres a boot that goes with it to keep it inplace or what but the handle doesnt stay inplace

Re: 82 trans am shifter
i own this shifter and have the the same problem.
the stem inside has a small notch sticking out. its just plastic. it has broken off.
need a new stem, but i dont think they make new ones which means you gota find an original but that will break soon as well.
just gota live with it or get creative. i have yet to find a perfect solution.

Re: 82 trans am shifter
im one of those KR guys and i told him to look on ebay an junk yards for original parts. because GM and KR shops are not reproducing the inner stem for the shifter.

Re: 82 trans am shifter
4 years ago I bought a repop handle, button, and that weird looking inner stem that looks like a series of beads from one of the Knight Rider parts makers. I didn't need the handle, but it was the only way he would include that stem. I tossed the handle on eBay and ended up getting the part I needed for free. Was it made? Was it NOS? I don't know, but he had them on a website for sale and it was not a one item deal.
