Default Shift Indicator Dial

I'm going to replace my automatic shifting console and AC/radio bezel on my 95. I also need the shift indicator dial and pointer. I see certain vendors listing the dial,but only up to the 1993. Should I try the STEALERSHIP?

I have searched for this part myself as mine has seen better days. I have not found a replacement either OEM or aftermarked for my 96. It seems this part is out of production.

I'm afraid that a used dial might be faded and scratchy like the one I have. I hate to upgrade the console area and still have a ugly looking dial. I will try to locate a used one in good condition. Thanks for everyone's input.

Try using some of that plastic cleaner that you use for polishing headlight lens'.

Try the side without the lettering first to see if it cleans it up.

The bottom side usually doesn't go bad. Try polishing the top side and see what happens.

Default Found One

I found one. Actually, I found two. One is brand new still in the GM box. The other has a very small scratch next to the "D" letter. The new one is $70.00 and the one with the small scratch is $40.00. I bought the new one. If any one is interested in the other let me know.
