Default Shifter ***** - Questions

My 98 Formula had a baloon-shaped? leather covered ****. My girlfriend's 2000 TA has the same shaped **** but without leather. Its just rubber. When did the Pontiacs stop putting leather ***** in?

Anyone want to sell an ebony Pontiac leather ****? I don't like my Camaro "Baseball" black **** as much.

Hey Tony, you can have the one from the Cannibal, just use some vinyl dye/paint and make it black. I'm getting a Flameball ****.

Will someone with an ebony TransAm/Formula interior please answer my question?

Is the factory Pontiac **** in the ebony interiors covered with leather, or is it just a plastic ****?

Thanks
Tony

I had a hurst equipped Camaro with ebony leather and mine was, not sure about the Trans Am's.

Buy the Hurst 6 speed **** (with the 6 speed pattern in the top), it has a jam nut and won't spin on hot days like the stockers do....(I love that ****).

Nineball, I have a TA but it's a WS6 w/ Hurst shifter, and mine is covered in leather. It's a nice **** but I'm thinking about ordering a billet ****.

the only pontiacs i've seen w/ the plastic ***** are no optioned v6's and some older LT1 birds that had virtually no options. sounds like your GF's T/A had a switcheroo pulled at some point in its life.

I have a 2000 t/a with the factory 'balloon' shifter and it is covered in the ebony leather that matches the interior.

Not sure why the g/f's is plastic.

Yeah, I figured someone probably swapped out her shifter ****. But, that rubber one works great too!

MBA built me a custom billet one for the 69. Its a smaller size (2" dia instead of 2.5") and is satin brushed with a red engraved 6-speed pattern. Looks kick ***!

I really just want a black leather, non-hurst, Pontiac **** for my SS.

Doesn't SLP sell a leather **** that looks just like the Hurst one but says SLP on it instead of the big H?

I think this is it. Is this what you are talking about?

Nope, 98 was dark gray. I need the ebony black ****.

That SLP one might work though!

Thanks
