Yeah I was under the impression that he was going to ship his out a week after he posted this message, I guess he did not?

iTrader: (12)

dont know if this will go anywhere 1991 rs has not been online since "Last Activity: 10-02-2011 10:55 PM" either he doesnt care anymore, is busy, look like it is on the rest of us now. I personaly do not have the money to buy one of these and hand it over to someone eles, even if it is for the greater good for third gens. I also have not seen any on ebay, craigslist, other forums , in for sale sections but if i find one ill post up my findings.

Hopefully he is just busy. I'm sure there are a lot of people, including me, that don't want to see this one die. I would love to have one of these things in my ride.

Money is an issue however finding one in the first place seems just about impossible.

Thanks for the heads up gentlemen. Hopefully we can work something out windowrattler. PM sent!

Ok I called Joe at The Parts Place. He never did get a unit so I'll be pulling mine out and getting it over to him. What would be super helpful is if I can get an instruction manual for it so I can check to see if I have all the parts. Let me know if you have documents around.

toxik IROC

iTrader: (12)

Thank you man! I'm lookin on the allmighty internet for some instructions.

windowrattler, you just may be the final piece to the puzzle. I know I speak for a lot of people when I say Thank You!!!

windowrattler

iTrader: (3)

Thanks for the kind words and help with finding the instructions. I have had it lying around for a while so I might as well help out. As I said in my other post I've flipped flopped around on the shifted, keeping it around just so I can say I have one. I like hard to find parts lol.

toxik IROC

iTrader: (12)

The instructions took me 7mins to find Here just using the search feature....lol what a great invention

windowrattler

iTrader: (3)

Well I found a NIB one on ebay....tried to buy it but got out sniped on the auction. Oh well, hopefully mine has all the parts around for them to use as a model to reproduce from.

THETANK

Keep us updated thanks!!!

iTrader: (25)

What ? So you didn't want to sell to me since you sold to the other guy and then you bid on the NOS one on ebay after I told you, unnecessarily jacking up the price? Oh and I didn't win it either. Don't get it, looking to sell only to try and buy another NIB one???

theno1prince

iTrader: (1)

Take it easy guy. You really need to read the full post before you go off on people. He didn't even sell his shifter. He decided he wanted to keep it. The reason he bid on the one on ebay was so that he could send it to The Parts Place to try to have it brought back into production because he wasn't sure he had all the pieces to his shifter. So I think you own him an apology because all he is trying to do is help you out.

Twin_Turbo

iTrader: (25)

Then why does he tell me in a PM I can't buy it because he's selling to you? Very fishy, and if you guys need a new one to reproduce, why don't you yourself buy it instead of having soeoe else buy it for you? I have never come across such a fishy dealing as this. When I make a deal I only buy, I never sell) i simply offer to pay immediately and that's that. My feedback here reflects that, the same on ebay, I get a very weird feeling from this.

iTrader: (1)

So... I am all about breaking out the ruler and having a measuring contest....but, do we have one going to the parts place? lol

Warpedsv

So I assume this will never happen but if it does count me in for 1

rarebmx

iTrader: (6)

I would be in for one - I have an idea. I would throw $40 toward finding one to reproduce - with the intention that either the money would be taken off the new price once the new shifter is reproduced or sell the one that was purchased and proceeds going toward reproduction one. We could afford to buy one as a group and no one is out that much $ at one time. I would only do it to a guy with high rating and an Admin.... POOL RESOURCES for the better good of all.

Warpedsv

Good idea

3rd Coast Z

iTrader: (1)

I thought the main issue was just finding one NIB? I have been looking as well but have come up empty handed.

I am all for pooling money together but who is going to take the responsibility to hold everybody elses money? Also, that person is going to need to camp out on ebay and/or craigslist.

If somebody with the time and resources to make the money pool happen I will gladly contribute. But like everybody else I don't want to lose my money no matter how small the amount.

Twin_Turbo

iTrader: (25)

If there is a company serious about reproducing one they could come up with the 500$ a NIB one goes for these days. The one on ebay now went for 510, there was a NIB one on there in May, also went for around 500. But windowrattler didn't sell his to me, so I assume he sold it to theno1prince? Someone else got the one on ebay??? Next time I'm entering $1000 in my sniper instead of 500... F it!! Should have kept my mouth shut to windowrattler about the one on ebay...oh well, live and learn.

3rd Coast Z

iTrader: (1)

Hopefully it will work out. I would really like to have one of these but it's not like I am not going to drive my car if I don't get one. I am just going to keep hoping for the best and maybe one of us will find a NIB.

toxik IROC

iTrader: (12)

I also do wonder why the parts place wont just buy one their self then sell it after.It seems a bit odd too. I o not have 500 buck to drop on a shifter. I dont car how cool it is....its still a shifter .

theno1prince

iTrader: (1)

I'm sure they have had the same problem as everyone else. They can't find one! And I seriously doubt they have the resources to track one down. Another thought, occasionally it gets posted on here that one is up for sale, but has anyone tried contacting The Parts Place to see if they were interested in purchasing it? Or maybe that's their way of seeing if there is any real interest because seriously, who wants to mail a $500+ shifter to someone they've never met before? I know I would (in this case anyway)...IF I owned one! (Yes, Turbo. That means I did not buy the one from windowrattler )

Heads up everyone there is a dual gate for sale here

Some one buy it. and lend it to the parts place... O so I hate bills...

theno1prince

iTrader: (1)

I feel you...bills are a pain! I just sent him a PM, so keep your fingers crossed. Any word from windowwrattler? Was he still planning on sending his in?

windowrattler

iTrader: (3)

I haven't pulled mine out yet to send to them but that is still my plan. They want to buy one so its not like you are donating it. They really want a NIB one though.

ajcase91

count me in, i would love to have one!

I have one new in the box...I have been busy & in the process of moving and have not had time to bring it to The Parts Place. I will bring it to them after the first of the year or sooner if things work out ...

iTrader: (6)

I do want one. Been doing some searching and this is the only item I would add to my car that would not be factory. I would really like to buy one, I don't need it in the box. What are the odds of finding a Dual Gate 1?

toxik IROC

iTrader: (12)

what do you mean dual gate 1? but they are hard to find,every once in awhile one pops up on here or ebay but sell for crazy money. start keeping an eye on both. mabe you can find your self a deal.

rarebmx

iTrader: (6)

I thought the early ones allowed you to use your existing factory shift cable. The II's you had to switch the factory cable to the Hurst.... am I mistaken?

I want one I saw it in the year one book for 82-02 fbody and I was like sweet will go good with my sleeper look book was from 04

Actually interested in two of them. Dang wish we could get these done.

80ws6ta

I would love to get one, but for a 2nd gen. It would be great to have a 3 and four speed model so guys could use it either way. I know there other guys out there (like me) who want to put a 4 speed auto in their 2nd gen, but we don't have any nice shifters to choose from. All we can do is buy a Shiftworks conversion for our sloppy and old factory shifter. A Dual Gate would be amazing, for both 2nd and 3rd gen. cars.

1badride

Ya, but you guys have the option of using the factory style horse shoe type shifters, then going to Year One or The Parts place, and purchase the 4 speed gate conversion they offer

80ws6ta

I wish it were that easy. Unfortunately, it isn't. That kit from Shiftworks only works for the factory Dual Gates from '67-'68 GTOs and the '70-'72 Cutlass shifters. The kit doesn't work well for the aftermarket Dual Gate made for second gens. The gear positions are off just enough to cause problems. There was one guy (I forget where I read about him) who took the detent and some other parts out of a Dual Gate 2 and put them in a Dual Gate for second gens. He said that it worked very well, but it is pretty expensive to hunt down both shifters and then destroy one to get the other to work like it should. It would just be nice to have one available to buy for ones needs, whether it be for a 3 or 4 speed auto, or for a 2nd or third gen.
