Looking at buying an AT shift **** for the TA, re-done by Dallas Steering Wheel in grey leather. They have them in stock for a Fiero. It LOOKS the same...I assume it is?

i believe they are because theres a few pictures and people i personally know that have swapped camaro shift ***** in there. the fiero shifter also has the pin in the back of it just like the t/a. so im willing to bet that they are without any issue at all

Firebird and Fiero are identical. Some other Pontiacs of the same time period are the same as well, like the Sunbirds, etc.

Re: Are a Fiero and Firebird AT shift ***** the same?

There's a guy over at pennocks fiero forum in the mall section that does great work recovering shift *****. Heck there's even a guy that makes digital dash gauge clusters for those cars on there.

Here's a link http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/048563.html

Re: Are a Fiero and Firebird AT shift ***** the same?

Thanks guys...they want $105 for a recovered ****. Mine is in good shape, leather-wise...its just very dirty. I cannot believe the amount of crap I've gotten off of it already with Zaino leather cleaner. I've turned one entire wax applicator black. For 31,000 miles, I don't know what the previous owners of this car had on their hands, but the **** was almost black on top.

If I continue scrubbing it, maybe it will be fine. It isn't ripped or anything. I figured it'd be nice to have a fresh **** to match a fresh wheel, but for $105 I may keep scrubbing

Re: Are a Fiero and Firebird AT shift ***** the same?

Charlie,

www.dallassteeringwheel.com is the company I've been talking to, off and on, since I got the TA. I do not have a wheel from them yet, but am planning on it after the first of the year. They charge $299 for a color-matched, OEM quality re-wrapped and reconditioned leather steering wheel. If you are thinking of one for one of your two (even my IROC with a lousy 21k on it has a little bit of wear at 12:00 position), they do not have one in stock for a Camaro right now, but said they get them in and sell them often. Their site shows pics of re-done leather Camaro wheels.

Re: Are a Fiero and Firebird AT shift ***** the same?

Ooh, exactly the one I need for my '83.




300 bucks is a little steep though, that Chuck Pelton (??) guy in Michigan will redo yours for about half that if you supply the wheel.

Re: Are a Fiero and Firebird AT shift ***** the same?

Charlie,

Where can I get contact info for him? If I can get the wheel redone for half that, and the shift **** off the guy on the Fiero forum, I'm golden

Now all I need is to get the eBay guy to accept my offer on an old-school '93 Pontiac CD player he's selling (he even adds 3.5mm aux jacks to them for my iPod!), and the interior of the TA is almost done!

I see him on ebay sometimes. I'm not sure how else to find him, but afew folks on TGO have had their wheels redone by his company and they look just like the pic above.
