Hey

I have an 85-gsl-se.........My shift **** is no longer red......ugly orange........brown......

What have you all done in this area?

Can this be re-dyed? Can you get replacement *****?

As anybody upgraded to the new shift *****?

Any pictures?

Jim

 

my buddy went and got a new **** at crappy tire for liek 30 bucks, it was a bit goofy but we worked it out and even made it a couple inches lower then stock so yea, halfway to teh short shifter :]

 

Take it off and throw it away. I picked up a momo on ebay for about $20, it shortened the shifter over on inch. looks and feels way better. I also replaced the greenish boot while I was at it.

 

Check out Ebay for a replacement ****.

 

Are there different threads? Pitch? I would hate to buy one tht doesn't fit.

Is it one size fits all?

 

one size defintely doesn't fit all. Unless the Momo's do?! I saved my wooden **** **** from my 76 Cosmo as a momento. I recently dug the thing up outa the rubbish and doh! it won't fit.

 

Momo's are one size. They use set screws and rubber caps for the top of the shifter. Pop the right cap on, slide the **** over it and tighten the screws. USE LOCTITE! trust me on this one.

 

Okay, just did a search on eBay for MOMO shift ***** and whoa! How woulda knew?! There are hundred dollar freakn' shift ***** up there with names like RAPTOR or COBRA or even COMBAT. W_T_F? All I can say is.... Oh brother.......

Don't tell that this is the kinda crap that makes Hon duh's go fast. lol

 

Hey Jim, trust me, you don;t need to throw out the **** or buy a new one. I "just " painted mine ( as well as the rubber boot as I bet yours is brownish also)...and it came out perfect for the cost of $8.00 (paint)..now, the best paint to use is SEM brand. Color : Burgundy. It is a fexible paint that is used for flexible platsics/rubber. It worked GREAT!!. But make sure you prep. the item you are to paint well. ( ie: I bought some vinyl cleaner but you can use alcohol ...the point is ..GET IT CLEAN ).. Let me know if you have any questions...why pay $$$ to buy a new one etc when this will do....Trust me!!....cjf
