    The part I'm looking for is the white metal portion that is bolted to the shifter, supports the slides and the handle attach's to it. sorry for the confusion

    FYI - my car came with a repop unit that would not hold its original shape. If the "U" widens, the hooks will not stay firmly in the shifter slots causing the springs to lift out of position and not function properly.

    I replaced it with an NOS piece that snapped into place nicely.

    Your repop is not one of mine

    You are correct. I should have made that clear. The piece I have is plastic and stamped TPP.

    Sorry for the confusion. :confused:

    Thanks for the clarification. I have never had one sent back to me that wouldn't stay fit. I always say its the last time you buy those 2 parts for your shifter they are that good. (not bragging just the facts) I have them on my own car for over 15 years so far since I started making them.

    thanks for the replys. Michael I aready one of your aluminum insert piece. The pull up bar isn't the piece I require. It is the cast chrome metal piece that bolts to the shifter and houses the slides held by (2) 1/4" bolts.

    I would like to have one in good condition or better as it's for my GSX, The chrome was good on mine but broke around the mounting hole. Also I could use a new lift up bar if you have it

    Cheers

    Glen... buy Mike Garrisons Gorgeous ALUMINUM horse shoe handle and his aluminum lift up bar... YOU WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER of either of these two items...Mikes are perfect and all my SHOW console restorations have Mikes parts on them...


    Here are some pix of 2 auto console shifter levers... THE CHROME IS DECENT ON BOTH, HOWEVER, one is better and has less shifter side felt abrasions/scuffing: $75 shipped. The second has light scratches and a little more obvious side scuffing: $60 SHIPPED...

    PayPal preferred AS LONG AS SENT AS FRIENDS AND FAMILY... otherwise add 4% to the total to cover PP fees.

    I just noticed you are in New Brusnwick...thats part of Canada, right? Sorry but. . . I need your postal code because shipping will be a little more Glen...
