My shifter in my 92 RS has developed cracks in it, and I wanna know how to remove the **** with out buggering it up, so I can replace it. any help would be appreciated...

 

There is a small flat clip on the front side (closest to the dash). Use a needle nose to pull the clip, **** will lift right off.

 

If it's auto with square shifter ....Put key in, turn ign to on, pull shift lever all the way back into 1 - look on the radio side of the shifter, you'll see a staple - pry it out (small screwdriver) and the **** will come right off the stick.

 

Thank you. Now I just need the plastic button. I'll check w/ dealership.

 

I think they are replaceable with a 4th gen **** as well - I'm pretty sure the leather one I got off ebay to replace my OEM vinyl one is a 4th gen **** - it's a tad longer (goes a bit farther down the rod) than my OEM one, and it looks identical to the **** in my 1997 Z28.

I see them on ebay all the time (the entire ****, not the button) - not sure the button is available alone.

 

I just need the push button part. I wonder if the 4th gen button would fit?

 

It should - I can see no physical difference between the **** I installed in my 1992, and the factory **** in my 1997.

 

Well, that's good news. I could find one from a car being parted out, or maybe just... maybe GM may still stock it.
