Re: WANTED: Shifter for 83 Firebird Trans AM

I'm pretty sure it's a specific shifter due to the park lock cable,........ I almost pulled the one in my 83 out so I could use a different shifter **** - then noticed that the park Lock wasn't the same as the later shifters and left it alone !

Re: WANTED: Shifter for 83 Firebird Trans AM

he needs early style yes, the later years are different bracket and cable design and length part of the shifter assembly, i have found this out the hard way in the past

all this kind of stuff was changed again in 85

this is why he is having some difficulty. most ppl dont have 82 83 84 stuff, but Ray and I do.

good luck
