Default Automatic shift ****
My automatic shift **** has no leather at all, and the plastic is cracked. I have found plenty of replacement ***** for manual transmissions, but that obviously doesn't help me. Does anyone know of any good suppliers for an automatic shift **** that will fit a 1984 Corvette? I'm not looking for a stock ****. I was hoping for something a little flashier. Any ideas and/or pictures?

I bought mine at from one of the regular aftermarket suppliers. I think that it was either Corvette Central or Mad America Motorworks. I purchased the leather shift boot from redlinegoods.com.

Those look cool if not a bit pricey. It would definitely be something different to have your shifter **** light up at night though.

Personally, I don't really go for the lighted stuff as I find it a little too too...I have a blue three color flameball on my '96 stick and am going to put a black 8 ball from them on my '88 auto soon. Gene is a very nice guy to do business with!
