Automatic or manual trans?
rod length is same
try loosening up the bolts on the linkage that connects to the shifter from under the car. If to tight it might cause stiffness
You would definitely need to swap out the transmission, flywheel, clutch linkages, clutch hydraulics, clutch pedal assembly, shifter cables, and shifter. You'd have to replace the computer with one for a manual trans car. You might have to swap the entire firewall as well as fabricating brackets for manual trans components that are missing on a auto car. The cost would be high enough it would make more sense to sell your auto car and purchase a manual one.
For an automatic transmission, check the side of the transmission by or at where the shifter linkage goes into the trans. For a manual transmission, check under the shifter boot.
Remove the access plate on the floor to expose the trans. disconnect the transfer case shifter as 2 of it's bolts are shared with the shifter on the trans. The bracket is held on to the 2 left hand shifter bolts and will have nuts on the top to remove, it is not possible to just move it out of the way without removing the other 2 bracket bolts further down on the trans. Then remove the 4 retaining bolts on the top of the shifter and pull it out.
You should just unscrew it off the shifter. It might be on there tight, but it should just screw off. I put the stock shifter knob on my B&M short throw shifter
A His and Her shifter is where you can go from an auto shift to a manual shift with out having to change trans. and things like that.
A CVT is a Continuously Variable Transmission so if You see the Question It self its a bit redundant. But yes a shift Linkage or shifter is always connected to the transmission whether it is a manual Trans or an Automatic
The 1987 Pontiac Trans Am shifter knob is held in place with a retaining clip below the shifter knob. Push the retaining clip together and the shifter knob will raise off.
it will fit but the crossmember may bolt up differently and the shifter may be in a slightly different location.
It is probably on the trans where the shifter linkage goes on the trans. If not there it's on the bottom of the shifter. but I suspect that its on the outside of the trans.
