Shifter **** swaps

I don't like the T bar shifter on my 1990 RS. Will a 1986 to 1987 auto trans shifter **** fit? What needs to be done to swap 'em?

Re: Shifter **** swaps

in 4th gens all you had to do was unscrew one and screw on the other. Yours might be the same way.

Re: Shifter **** swaps

If its a stock shifter the boxier Camaro shift **** will work. I believe its 1987 to 2002. The round Camaro one will not work if memory serves me right.

But sounds to me if you have a Camaro and a T handle its not a stock shifter.

This is true, the T-handle is a firebird thing.

Re: Shifter **** swaps

Can you post a pic of the shifter so we can tell if it is aftermarket or not? Sounds like it to me.

Re: Shifter **** swaps

My shifter handle is the factory T handle like on some 3rd gen firebirds.
