i've wanted to change my shifter in my 82 also. the only one i've seen with an aftermarket shifter is a member on here( the money pit ) he has a website with pics of the install. he has a bad a$$ 80 tan vette.
if any other members have done the swap i would love to see it.

I am also looking for an alternative shifter **** for my '82 shark with auto trans. I saw pictures of a "pistal grip" type that I liked, but have been unable to locate it again. I remember it being stainless steel sandwiched between two pieces of hardwood with the botton at the top. Anyone know who offers this?
