1985 Shifter Console Plate problem
I have been looking for a shifter console plate for my 85, since its a manual and its pretty beat up. I have only found the automatic shifter plates online, do they not reproduce the stick shift version? I wouldnt mind spending the money one one, but they are hard to find

Nah 
....I checked their website. They too only have the console plate for only automatics. There is a market for these manual transmission console plates. It's a shame suppliers don't take advantage of it. They haven't been available for a long time.

I think they are losing out on $$. It wouldn't be much more to produce either. You guys think I can just order an automatic one, cut out the shift indicator rail for the auto trans and go from there?
