B&M shifters
I have an 87 GTA, which models of B&M shifters can be used without a whole lot of customising.
Is there a model that fits perfect for my car that any of you are using?
I was looking at BMM-80692 on Summitracing, looks like it would work on the camaro style with the shifter plate that unscrews, however Im not sure for the GTA.

I don't know what the specific differences are (if any) between the Pontiac and the Chevy consoles/shift plates are (up until you asked the question, I always assumed the shift plates were the same).
Hurst lists no shifters as being "custom fit" for a 3rd Gen Firebird, but does have a couple for the 3rd Gen Camaro.
B&M- I haven't got time to do the research- here:

On the summit site, click on the item. Near the bottom, just before the paragraph description, it says CHECK YOUR APPLICATION, click on it, and it gives you a list of what it fits. Both the bird and camaro are on there, however it says, WILL NOT WORK ON FORMULA, dont know why that is, possibly different console?

Re: B&M shifters
i use to have the megashifter( i beleive that is the model) for the z28, i hated that thing, sometimes it would work great, other times it was the hardest piece of crap to shift with. I tried everything to make it work right, nothing helped. I was told it was the way i had the cable ran, didnt matter which way i ran the cable, it still was hard as hell to shift with.
