The 88 up went to an electronic speedo so is not good unless you have custom gauges w/elec. speedo or a expensive adapter. The S-10 used it up into the mid 90's. The Camero version is stouter but the shifter is way back at the rear so must be used with bucket seats. They were used in Mustangs, Jeeps, & Mazdas & others but each has its own specifications.

ron | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 166 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2006 Posts: 166 | I am using a T-5 from what I think was an 89 S-10. Does anybody have a source for a shifter? I would like something with a longer handle and that means a shorter shift. I have seen the article on Stovebolt on how to modify one. Also, B&M used to make 2 different model numbers, but they don't seem to be produced anymore. I was wondering if a Camaro or mustang shifter would fit and could be modified with a longer handle? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | Todd,
use the stock shifter, fabricate the handle, and if you need , shorten the throw per the article. The Camaro and S-10 use the same shifter, the ford can be used, however it needs to be modified to fit the GM tail shaft.
PM or email me for specifics

I seem to remember that they had a second part number for a shifter with an even shorther throw, but I could not find it on ebay at all. If they made a second type, it must have sold out all excess inventory.
So, a Camaro shifter would work if I modified the handle as well? | | |
