Replacing Rear Drive Shifter- 1990 Corvette
I have a 1990 Vette, and arthritis in my hands. I want to replace the shifter mechazim that is on the shifter lever. It is difficult for me to shift into reverse and I would like to remove the part of the shifter that you have to pull up. If this cannot be done, then I would like to replace it with something else, like on the older models that have a pull up lever that has two sides on it.

Not inexpensive but doable.
Can the original be modified to do what you like? I would think so but certainly haven't thought about it.
Where are you located? If you were near the ZF Dr I'd suggest you just let him do the install. I believe he's Cave Creek AZ. The "home button" doesn't work from the link so here's the main page:
