I have a 1986 Iroc Z camaro. It has a Ball shifter ****, im re doing in the interior, i want to put a brand new shifter plate in that fits over the console cause mine is very shot.
Im wondering if a T handle like a trans am will fit on directly?
Or will a square one from a later camaro will fit?

yes but you need to swap the entire shifter assembly since the clip locations are different

I have a T/A shifter **** of my Camaro, without switching the assembly, I don't use the clip and it stays on fine and works fine.

im guessing i should just go for it, wont be that expensive. see what happens.
im thinking about going for the Trans am shifter, handle grip is alot nicer i think.
any opinions?
Is changing the shifter assembly that complicated??

4 bolts and a clip holding the wires to the assembly.

that doesnt sound to hard, now i just need to find an assembly on Ebay, or do i just need the handle? guessing the assembly...

id get the entire assembly, junkyards would probably be cheaper. just take the torx to get the shifter plate screws out, take out the 4 bolts. i think they are 13mm, and take a flathead screw driver to pop the clips off then remove. easy as that!

unless someone else chimes in i would double check the bolt size on your first, i dont remember since its been about a year since iv done mine so i dont remember that size, its either a 12 or 13.
