Re: 90 IROC-Z Shifter **** Ideas?

Dude, I'm in the same boat as you. I just wanted the ****. I make my car interior look more like a Tie-Fighter! At O'Reilly Auto Parts, they had the Hurst T-shifter **** and the B&M T-shifter **** pictured below. The boxes looked like they were sitting on the shelf for a decade! They would have been perfect, I was going to powder coat them matte black and they looked cool. They even say on the box "has adapter for 82-92 Firebirds and Camaros" but there is no BUTTON to move them between the gears? I had them out of the box and was looking to see how I could make it work. Alot of fabrication I think.

Re: 90 IROC-Z Shifter **** Ideas?

I see shifter ***** on the 2 sites and some of them have buttons. However I wonder if these buttons provide the same function as the OEM **** button? (black square button on top)

Haha I agree but at this point its better than the torn up sun faded leather one I cureently have. Will still be looking for better aftermarket ones. Only problem is the whole button thing....

Check out www.andysautosport.com
They have tons of aftermarket stuff for third gens including body kits and spoilers /wings.
They have shifter ***** as well. If I can find it, I have a push-button carbon fiber ****.

I know the T-handle shift ***** you are talking about and I am almost 100% sure that the side button is for NOS and stuff like that, I don't think that there is a spring and rod in it that will push the shiter rod down on the stock shiter. I love the looks of the B&M 3ed gen shifter, but it seems line a PITA to install and I myself don't want to hack up anything on my car.

Re: 90 IROC-Z Shifter **** Ideas?

They also had this Hurst Pistol-Grip Shifter **** at O'Reilly's. The package was all yellow from being in the window since the place used to be called Kragen Auto Parts! On the old box it said "Has 82-92 Firebird/Camaro Adapter". I opened it up and it looked slick. Get it done up in black and you'll feel like your flying a Joint Strike Fighter...........

......................................BUT NO BUTTON.
