The console shift plates are different. 80-82 has a few different shift plates because of the different options that were available. I think I have an old console and 4 spd shift plate to get a pic for you, houstonvett

Is it just the shift plate you are intersted in seeing or do you want to see the whole thing assembled? My center console is out and I can take a pic of whatever you want from my 4-speed car.

?? I don't get what you mean? Of course the auto shifter plate is different from the manual one, or do you mean something else? Manuals and autos did use the same shifter boot but the console itself is different. I can't seem to find a pic of one, it doesn't have the shift indicator on it.

to be the same size.
Making the shifter relocation handle was easy for the T-56 in the vette.
I'm thinking I'm gonna have to modify the console plate hole.
I was gonna try to keep the stock look. Then no one could tell its a 6 speed
