T56 Shifter Swap Hi all,
I just signed up here, because there seems to be a bunch of you who may be able to assist me. I tried having a quick search, but because I'm from Australia, I don't know enough about the US cars being discussed to make sure I'm understanding it correctly.
I have a T56 from a VX Commodore, it has a shifter like so, of course, this is looking at the underside, it has the plastic housing over the shifter linkage up top:
It's going into my 93 Toyota Supra, and with the remote linkage it's just going to be too far rearwards, so I was looking at getting a shifter that would bolt in place for a direct shift. Superficially, the 93-02 Camaro shifters I see kicking around the net look like they may fit:
I understand this might require modifications to work, but I'm not sure and was wondering if you'd be able to assist with some information.
Cheers in advance!
Nathan

Yeah, figured it would be the same.
I'm sorry, but what is the offset lever? Do you have a pic? Is this the GM part# 12523298 I see referenced elsewhere? Also, Fbody = Camaro/Firebird?
