Default Leather T56 shift ****

I am looking for a leather 6 speed shift **** to fit my Pro 5.0 shifter.I would like it to have the shift pattern engrained into the leather.Real simple design.Does anyone have a shift **** like this in black leather??Pics if so??I included a pic of what I have in mind but in black leather instead of the gray!

I have seen mention in board searches of "Ebony Trans Am leather shift *****"!!Anyone have a pic??The shift pattern isn't as important as the black color and leather is to me.

I bought my 02 z-28 with some ricer shifter on it, now i'm trying to find a stock one, but my shift lever is not threaded, the ricer **** has 3 allen wrenches to tighten it down and 2 of them are stripped so it's just sitting on there, is that not the stock handle?

Most non-specific thread, aftermarket shift ***** use the 3 allen set screw retaining method. Try to carefully drill out the stripped allens and you will find the shift handle threads underneath. BTW; has anyone ever found any ultra-lightweight shift ***** for our thread pattern T56s?? I figure this would help save the shift forks/pads since it would be less constant stress on them and less causing them to jump around.

I have been looking for a factory hurst/slp shift **** in grey forever. NO ONE has them. You can get them in black all day long for $25 but...can't find grey. It will have an H on it. If anyone has a perfect grey **** they want to part with, hit me up.

This is my next one. westcoastcorvette.com The one I ordered is black and gray though. They have a fair selection.

Only thing I know of is a C5 ****. I used on on my T56 that I stuffed into my S10. Had to modify the **** though it didn't just go right on for me. Here is a few pics.

I had to make it fit.I had to drill it out with a 14.5mm drill bit and then use a 16mm x 1.5 tap to make it fit the Pro 5.0 shifter,now it fits perfectly.
