Shift Knob/ Shifter info?
So I'm really tired of this boring grey blob of a shift knob on my Quad.
What are the options, if any, for an easy and unique replacement?
Oh, and I'd like a Euro Dash Cluster too.
And another beer!

Re: Shift Knob
Where the hell did you find an Alero manual trans shift knob?
Did they even come with manuals? Does it just push on like the stock one?

Re: Shift Knob
I put a leather Camaro Hurst knob on mine, but I had to cut off the shifter stick and weld on a bolt.

Re: Shift Knob
Well I like that Woody, but I can see this is going to be a PITA!!
The stock knob just pulls off, right?

Re: Shift Knob
They did come with manuals (I had one) and the manual knob is the same as what would be in a cavalier, etc.. from the same era.Asylum wrote:Where the hell did you find an Alero manual trans shift knob?

Re: Shift Knob
Unhook the cable, pull the e-clip and the stick comes right out of the shifter. Pretty easy.

Re: Shift Knob
Rodney Dickman (I wanna change my name to Rodney Dickman) sells a "Hurst" stick (stick only) for Fieros. Will that bolt in place of ours?
For that matter are all the Getrag shifters basically the same, or are the Fiero ones "ass-backwards"?

Re: Shift Knob/ Shifter info?
The Fiero shifters are backwards, but it looks like that stick would work in the stock shifter.

Re: Shift Knob/ Shifter info?
I have a shifter from a Grand Am that will bolt directly into the Berettas and allow you to use a threaded shifter knob. If you're interested, I can get you a shipping quote to Canada.

Re: Shift Knob/ Shifter info?
A shifter or just a stick? I already have the Dickman rebuild/shim kit for the shifter that has been sitting here forever.
