Yea, google shift **** 1989 corvette. Lotsa sources. Fun part is getting that little wedge key pulled out of the slot, so you can twist the **** off. Google will help with that too.

I know they all have them, just wondering if one is better or fits tighter than another

Don't lose the Shift Pattern plate that goes inside the Shifter. I understand that they are no longer being re produced and there all gone.

I poked around on this same topic awhile back, IIRC many members said that the reproduction leather ***** offered by the larger Corvette parts places were not very well made.

Would love to hear from those that have actually bought some from Ecklers, etc. and their thoughts.
