I have 1991 camaro 5 speed and need to put a whole new steering column in it. The junk yards are telling me that the 5 speed cars and automatic cars have different part numbers. I want to know is there a difference? If so what is it and will an automatic steering column fit in a stick shift car?Thanks

 

why do you need to switch you steering column? Everything can be replaced on them. you may be making more work for yourself.

 

the person I bought it off of didnt have the keys and yanked on the steering wheel until the lock broke. when I took it off to fix it he had messed up the shaft bearing, the plastic cover and the turn signal switch. So I figured it would be cheaper to replace the column

 

main differance is the way the key is prevented from going to the lock position. the automatic uses a cable attached to the shifter. the manual uses a tab next the lock cylinder. the automatic column will fit and work but you will be able to lock the column without pushing the tab.

 

Thats what Ithought it might be, thats for the info
