a really good his/hers shifter will cost about 250 on e-bay. you will need to gey one for a 1968 GTO....NOT A 67. If you can find one already in a 68 console, it should fit in your 69. This was NOT an available option in 69, but can be adapted to fit.......eric :cheers
How hard will it be to do this? I mean, other than things like trim, blinkers, vent windows, rear bumbers, 68's and 69's are pretty much the same right? I've never installed one of tehse, how hard to do? I just think they are cooler than the regular shifter in the 69
The floor should be the same. you should be able to switch the consoles, then hook up the shift cable. I am not sure about the neutral safety switch, and such......E
I know this is a very old thread, but you do know that your factory 69 shifter also has a manual/ratchet mode of operation, right?
Pull it down into low, then when upshifting push it out/away from you at the same time that you're pushing it forward (like at a 45-degree angle away from your body - towards the glove compartment). It will up-shift into 2 and lock. After the up-shift, let the pressure off the shifter just a little and it will reset, ready for the 2-3 upshift. If you'll look really closely at the woodgrain on your console next to the shifter on the passenger side of the opening, you'll see 1 2 3 embossed there. That's what it's for.
hey Orbit, you can make that aftermrket fit fine, used a B&M quicksilver in mine and was an easy mod with stock console and works just like the His side of his/hers

even was able to use the stock cable (B&M one is like 4' long) had an old stock mounting bracket and cut the nose off with wheel, drilled and slotted it to make a bracket that would fit stock cable hosel and C clip, aligned it to zero out the cable in park, and bolted it to the nose of the B&M mount, pin on B&M was slightly larger, just drilled cable hole a little bit, took rubber lever sheeth from crappy B&M cover and rtv'd it in under shifter cover so no metal to metal and mounted the plate with rubber O rings under for same reason. When mounting to hump i cut 4 collars to raise it to just under console height and level/align it to consoles correct position, took a few trys to get it perfect, used 1/2" galvainized conduit and just cut what i needed on the fly with a small plumbers pipe cutter. solid as a rock and no side to side play.
