Changing the shift ****... HELP!
Hello, I have just purchased a new manual shift **** for my '89 Vette. The seller refer to the car documentation to install it properly, but I don not have it!
Know somebody where to find the original car documentation for a C4 '89 Vette? Or can someone explain me how to replace this part?
Thank you!

i'm pretty sure that it'd be the same as mine. pry the top plastic shift pattern cover off. then you'll see a small silver metal tab. it needs to come straight up. put a screwdriver under the edge of it and place a putty knife between it and your leather ****. simply pry up. it might be tough but thats how mine came out. good luck oh, dont booger up that tab. or it'll be a pita to get out.

I just ordered the Hurst (Classic) **** - I really liked the looks of it. I searched, for the better part of a month for an aftermarket ****. I found a couple of Momo's that I liked, but couldn't pull the trigger on one, till I saw the Hurst.

Diclamer: That picture was taken last winter... the weather had been cold... and no garage... so the interior was a bit of a mess. Sorry.
