I have ran into a little snag with my transmission set up.

In order to get my shifter to line up with the whole in my floorboard using the swap mount setup I ordered (lsx into sky), I need a gto shifter stuck on the tail section of my LS1 t56.

Well in order to do that I would need a GTO t56 offset lever (pined to the selector shaft inside the tranny)
Like this one\/

So I ordered one. Wouldn't you know it, they seem to be on permanent back order and no longer available.
What other options do I have? I know that there are aftermarket shifter that have custom shift offsets for the ls1 t56 but I don't know for sure what they are.

PLEASE HELP!

 

I poked around more and got an OEM GM part number which let me find an alternate source for this bitch on the other side of the country.
For those of you that are looking for this thing, it's GM P/N 92147292

 

Hard item to find new considering its short run of only 3 production years 04-05-06.

 

Wow..I just threw the one I took off my trans in the trash. Good thing I read this!

 

Don't throw that thing out! I paid out of my *** for this freaking thing.

 

I went out and dug it back out of the trash after reading this post. I am coverting my GTO trans to forward shift.

 

Nice. E-bay time for that lever... apparently they use to be 80 bucks from places like tick but that does no good if they are no longer available. List on the G/M part is 143. I paid 107 after tax after complain about the price to the dude at my local chevy parts counter. If supply is really going down (as this part was only found in 2 warehouse in GM's inventory) I don't know why you couldn't ask a good amount for yours if someone really need it.

That the exact opposite challenge I was facing. I need to get the shifter as far back as possible.

 

Worked great ordered the part from my local dealer for 110.00. Converted from f-body shifter to GTO shifter.

 

Anyone know how this part's removed or whether the Fbody shifter can still be used with this in place.
I have just bought a 04/06 GTO box to replace my Fbody box

 

Its pretty easy to remove, it just has a pin holding it in place.

 

Cheers, I pick the box up tomorrow so will check it out.

Just hoping that the 1st gear ratio isn't to short with my 4.10. Suppose to bad if it is

Guess I've got a GTO T56 offset lever & shifter to unload.

 

The f-body shifter cannot be used with the GTO rear offset lever.
