[4+3]: ***** are available!!!!
Check out the new Ecklers catalog on page 10.
1984L-88 4+3 Manual Transmission Leather Shift **** : P/N 42637
Price: $49.99 :D
Too bad they got the year wrong, shouldn't it be 85L-88?

Cool!! Will this work on the early 85 with the button on the console not in the shifter? I'm guessing that might be a "no" if as you suspect that should read 85L-88 not 84L :cry

Bill, what scorp is talking about is on the 84 and early 85 (like mine) the switch was on the console not on the shifter.

Re: (scorp508)
I'll let you do a little investigation and let me know when you know what I mean. ;)
(edit) Well Brian, wouldn't ya know my wife was going through the mail this morning and just happened to flip me the very Ecklers catalog you were referencing. If you'll flip to page 334... I think you'll find the answer to your question :yesnod: :cheers:
Thrills, the answer to your question is No. The first gen **** (Ecklers - A7735) is $75.99 :eek: DAYUMN! thats $26 more than the new one they just put out for 85L-88 4+3's. It must be GM NOS...

Re: (billreid1@***.net)
IBill my Eckler's didn't come yet, so just want to clarify here. They DO have the 84-85E it's just $75 instead? :cool: I still want one and that's a lot cheaper than they've been on Ebay!

There are two different OD units out there. The Z51 and Z52 cars got MK2. I forget what the other RPO code is off the top of my head. MK2 = 0.68:1 gearing, and the other one is a 0.60:1 geared unit. :)

Re: (thrills)
Hi thrills,
I am, obviously, no 4+3 expert but that part number is what Ecklers shows... may want to call them and verify.
Scorp,
That is good info. My 84-85 GM Y Parts and Illustration catalog only shows MK2 with their manual transmission parts figures. Not being a 4+3 owner hinders my knowledge of this setup. Glad you clarified this for me... I learn something new everyday :)
