Where can I get a new t-5 center console?

Okay I've looked just about everywhere for a decent and uncracked T-5 console (w/ PW and PM) and I can't find anything. I'm hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction. All the cars i've found at the local junkyards haven't been worth a crap. Thanks for your help guys.

you can find a nice 4th gen manual center console for about 100 bucks... and just move the buttons to the overhead console... it'll look slick Plus the 4th gen consoles seem to be a lot easier to find than 3rd... typically

i vote ebay, but you also know you do not need the entire console just the shift plate cover? i belive all the console guts and frame are the same its just the top shift plate that changes.

with that check hawks (sponsor link on top) he has all that stuff

The 90-92 Pontiacs use a different shift plate and console than the Camaro's. I think the actual console change started earlier, like '87 or so....

All 3rd gen Firebird's used different shift plates than Camaros.

BTW: Anyone know where I can find an 83-84 5 spd plate? When I put my interior back together I'm going to need it. The shifter bouncing up and down broke the old one.
