I was thinking of finding a more attractive looking **** to replace my factory one on my 88 auto. Has anyone done this? Will most GM factory style auto ***** work?

 

Most gm auto shift ***** will work, I have had ***** off a 94 grand am, 83 Camaro, 03 Bonneville and now i have one off a 02 Monte Carlo (the bonneville and monte ones are the same, except for the color of the button the monte's is black the bonne's is grey. Sorry no pix on this computer i'll try to post one whne i get home. also tht monte's and bonne's are for my 4th gen console boot attach to it nicely.

 

I have a 90's Grand Prix shift **** on mine now, along with an aftermarket leather shift boot. I like it, it's much easier to shift manually than the stock Camaro square ****, and better looking IMO.

Any 87 and newer GM shift **** with the staple type retainer should interchange. 86 and older had the retainer on the top of the ****, under the button.

The Pontiac shift ***** are more of a blueish black, than the stock Camaro, but black shoe polish makes it look identical. I also painted the grey button black to match the shift ****. You have to use water base acryllic semi gloss black. Oil base paints will not work, I found this out the hard way.

man labrat thats awesome!:hail: I like the stock shifter ***** tho

 

Does that work ok? It's probably easier to install than one meant for a manual, isnt it?

 

Thanks, Nick.

It is a really easy and cheap mod. Also I can go back to the stock shifter, because i didn't have to change the shift plate at all to install the shift boot.

 

late model grand am **** on mine.
