i believe this is a camaro 1982 auto shifter ****. just the button

its the exact same style as the 1982 firebird/trans am **** and knight rider style **** but instead of pontiac its the chevy logo on the button.

i just bought it from modernday muscle. in all the years looking at parts on ebay and junk yards i have never come across this type of shifter **** for a camaro.

i bought it to add to my collection just on a whim.

and curious to know more about the history on this style ****.

the handle is the same cylinder type like the 1982 pontiac knight rider style handle

 

I've never seen one like that before.
Did the camaro use a cone shaped shifter in 1982 as well?
I thought they had a ball shaped shifter with a push button on top.

 

thats what i thought too but here it is. i know camaros in 82 had their own version of the pmd L shaped also knight rider style seat belt loops but never saw this type of **** so i just snagged it just incase and its NOS never used

 

i mean maybe it was mislabled and is meant for a slightly older camaro like 78-81 because i know pontiac had similar ***** like the 82 cone style. but hey thats why i'm asking in the historic thread haha

 

That's not a thirdgen part.

 

ok good to know, so what is it?

 

look if its not for a 80s camaro or just some other random chevy vehicle thats fine. i just wasted some money.

was just curious since i thought i found something rare. o well

 

Looks very similar to 1 that was on my '75 Camaro.

 

when it gets here i can compare it to my 82 pontiac **** in the photo and as it was labled its supposed to be the same thing but with a chevy logo.

i'll let you guys know

 

looking quickly on ebay i found the 74-81 cone style which is similar to thirdgen cone style but the center is curved down for your thumb.

 

granted it was listed as knight rider 1982 shifter **** button and they to recognize the chevy logo on top. but they also list that it is new old stock never used and never modified

so how did the chevy logo get there

 

Thats pretty cool....would look better if it was red white and blue.I trimmed a 4th gen nose emblem down and fitted it into a button I have for an 82 knight rider ****.BTW in case you didnt know,those same buttons were used on 70-81 firebirds,73?-82 grand prix`s and maybe a few other pontiacs.The grand prix button has the pontiac arrow while the firebird button has the bird on it

 

Looks like it's the button for an '82 Celebrity with floor shifter. Maybe '83 too, I can't remember.

 

From the Dealer's Illustrated Parts Catalog for the 82 Camaro with AT, the shifter **** part numbers are:

4.006 **** Trans Cont Lever (Pont) ....................10026960
4.006 **** Trans Cont Lever (Chev){w/Z28} ........14063975
4.006 **** Trans Cont Lever (Chev){Exc/Z28} ......14063976

The **** button numbers are:

4.006 Button, Trans Cont Lever **** (Pont).......................10023821
4.006 Button, Trans Cont Lever **** (Chev){W/Z28}...........14019442
4.006 Button, Trans Cont Lever **** (Chev){Exc/Z28}.........14019442

I have no idea what Chevy model/year that **** button was used for, but clearly not the 1982 F body with a TH200c auto tranny.

 

Right, the 82's had the round **** with smooth button lust like the following years. I can almost guarantee it's an '82 Celebrity button, I'll look through my old brochures.

 

I bet if you look around you will find similar handles in other GM's in other years. I had a Blazer that had a similar shifter handle for the 4 wheel drive. Rather than smooth all the way up it had a couple grooves for your hand to grip.
