need shift handle for TKO
If anyone has a spare shift handle that will bolt up to a TKO shifter I would really appreciate it. Spent and hour at the junkyard and nothing but old 70's and early 80's cars there. The newer cars must go to wholesale junkyards where the parts are recycled for repair shops. I know I need to build a spacer to get it positioned right, but I need a place to start and don't want to buy a new shifter just for the handle. Just name a reasonable price or let me know where I might look for just a handle.
Thanks
Chris

I'll have to check and see if I still ahve the pics of the shifter I had made. The shifter handle I sent was an extra I had from E.M. Glabus. 81Vette has the complete shifter, along with the spacers etc, I got from them, he may be willing to post some pics of it if you ask him.

I just used the shift handle off a mustang. Any speed shops sells custom ***** for mustangs and even the ford dealer will have replacement *****.

Re: need shift handle for TKO (norvalwilhelm)
I used my old Hurst handle cut down and redrilled. That combined with a cut, spaced and welded shifter stub works great. Now to see if the pic works. :smash:

Thanks Steve...guess ill have to do some welding with it....I have the hurst shifter as well so its nice to know I can use it
i hope some of you can clue me in on how to install one of these tremecs. im gonna post in a few weeks to get all the parts needed and custom fabbing that ill need to do so I can start ordering parts and get a cost estimate. I checked all the archived posts but couldnt find any worthwhile explanation of the install.
