I'd cut that base off and weld on the snap in base of yours. Although the impala one bolts onto the shifter. It has almost perfect curves to match our original one. Another easier option would be to grab a shifter handle off ebay for a 65-67 impala.
Thats why I'd at least make yours look correct until you find one. All big blocks got the Muncie M21 option.Īs for your shifter handle, the odds of finding an original one are REAL slim. Muncies were being phased out in favor of the Borg Warner trans. In our years it was a toss up whether you got a saginaw or a muncie with a small block.

M20 is only an option code designating a manual 4 speed trans. Theres alot of confusion with the M20 designation. I think the Hurst shifters are night and day better quality and precision. Ive driven cars with ITM shifters and they are ok until they get a little wear which is usually quite soon.

I eventually changed the competition plus to a Super Shifter III with the reverse lock out. But the owner gave me the original shifter, along with other parts, in a couple of boxes. My car had a hurst competition plus in the car when I got it. My car came from the factory with bench seat, muncie M20 with ITM shifter, lift for reverse. I always toy with the idea of having a "fun" alternate drivetrain to swap out for when I have the itch for a solid cam, high compression, and M22 music, which would of course use a high quality shifter and scattershield in that configuration, and mothball the original oem equipment. Understood, but I must respect the originality. I totally understand originality, but once you banged second to third with a well gated shifter, you will wonder why you bothered messing with the oem unit. It may be easier to determine the thread size on the shifter and go from there.ĭo you realize why you can't find this shifter or parts? It's because they were really crummy shifters, and an aftermarket shifter made shifting a joy rather than a random event? It was not, the three production reverse lockout shifters I have, used a t-handle under the knob. I dug through my shifter box awhile back to see if the V8 Monza saginaw shifter was the same.

I am also copying a link to a 73 Poncho shifter site that shows the same style of shifter I have, but of course it's got it's Pontiac knob. Whereas the Camaro knob has a plastic insert with a clear lens over the pattern to protect it.Īnybody know about these, and what might have cross-referenced it? I'm guessing the Muncie M20's and M21's for 1973 came with a Hurst Shifter that did not require you to lift for reverse. Also, I'd guess that my original knob had maybe white paint inside the debossed area that has the shift pattern and the "LIFT" for reverse. The internal thread of the Camaro one is smaller than the thread on my stick. The Camaro NOS knob pictured next to my old original shows the size difference. What I need is a shifter knob for my 1973 Chevelle SS that came with a Saginaw M20, and had the funky-shaped ITM shifter stick that you need to lift for getting into reverse. I bought one for a mid-70's camaro thinking it might be the same or a factory replacement that went to a slightly different design.
Well I thought I had a good replacement so I bought this one off Ebay, but it's the wrong knob for my car.
