Title: 3 and 4 speed shifter handle
Post by: 35chevcoupe on December 06, 2015, 07:28:26 PM

Are the 3 and 4 speed shifter handles the same except for the ball ?
If so anyone have one they want to sell ?

Ah... no.

  The four speed is a "T" handle with reverse lock out. The 3 speed does not have the "T" .
And that is the limit of my manual trans knowledge.   :crybaby2:

You can take a 3 spd handle and make it into a 4 spd , has to be machined though! No difference ! Would need the t handle piece But wouldn't work vice versa. The nob is the same size and thread in black is correct for a 3spd or 4spd consolette car as the shift pattern is on it! A non consolette car should have the shift pattern on the 4spd nob although I have seen many with consolette and shift pattern nobs.
