1986 A/T Shifter **** replacement
Hey Guys,
So i have a 1986 camaro with an A/T and a 350 4-bolt swap in it.
I currently have a black ball push button shifter that has a large crack in it and was wanting to replace it.
I wanted to see if i could use one of the New ZL1 camaro Auto shifters?
If not i would like to get another ball shifter that was a little more custom design on it to really accent the interior.
So first how do i take the old one off and second what can i replace it with?

The ball shifter is held on by a snap ring.You have to remove the push button and then you will see the snap ring.Its attached to the top of the shift lever

so the ball is literally just a ball? and how do you get the button off to access the snap ring?

I usually just put a thin flat blade screwdriver in there and pry it up
