Firebird leather T shifter ****

OK, my shifter **** is so worn that the button falls out so my question is this, will a shifter **** from a fourth gen work? I have seen a few and if It will work I will pick one up.

A fiero and a few other Pontiacs use the same t-floor shifter ****.
Check fleabay for a cheap replacement.

My buds dog chewed his birds shifter and a used bird replacement was $50 bucks!
He got a fiero replacement for $10 bucks off fleabay..............

LOL, my dog chewed the leather off of mine too (when my car was apart). I got one off of eBay for around $40. Check Modern Day Muscle too I've seen them there.

Re: Firebird leather T shifter ****

If you don't find one or don't want to spend the time to look, I've got a couple of nice clean and solid leather wrapped ones with staples I'll make you a good deal on.PM or email me your email address for pics and other info, Henry
Or I also have good non leather wrapped ones too

$20 for plastic one, $35 for leather wrapped. Leather ones aren't brand new and have some tiny pretty unnoticable flaws. Have a few to choose from. PM or email me your email address and I can send you some pics

Re: Firebird leather T shifter ****

They all look great though, didn't mean to make them sound all worn or anything. Still need one?

In answer to the 4th gen question - I have a **** with the button on top from a 2001 Camaro that fits my 85 Bird just fine.

Re: Firebird leather T shifter ****

I have a manual shifter **** with a firebird emblemon it and an adapter to use with my auto shifter. All I need to do is push "down" on the **** which is the same as pushing in the button. I like it...alot.
