Hi all,

I had posted on the old forum that I was looking for a 5-speed shifter plate from DMOCO. They stopped making them. I just checked their webpage they are also sold out on the 5-speed shifter balls.

Anyone have a 5-speed shifter plate or combo???

Thank you,

Billy

I had heard a rumor they were going to reproduce them again at some point, but slightly updated so that the panel didn't score your shifter? Anyone remember this?

I remember hearing that also, but don't know when it is happening. I hope it is real soon, need a shifter plate and knob!!

Can I get someone to get me a measured (hopefully 1:1) drawing of the gate? Or just a tracing? I've been wanting to try making one of these out of aluminum (gentler on stick and can be brushed and sealed to be virtually indistinguishable from SS) with a friend of mine that is a wiz at such things. I also a big fan of exotic woods and might try a high polish, black ebony. Or maybe even a hybrid of both.............
Thanks.

I would consider selling mine. It's neat, but it makes shifting more difficult than the standard boot.

Huh? I thought just the opposite when I drove with it installed. There was even a big improvement in finding Reverse, because, well you could see where to need to take the stick to and typically the boot crunches up and and sometimes adds resistance, to move for R. All other stick positions were dead on, on my set up and plate.

I took it off over a year ago to go back to stock for a while, someday I'll put it back on.

DPI Josh said he was gong to be making these. but not sure of when or quality. So far any of his SS products are unfinished and raw material. Perhaps he can chime in and update us?

Looks wise, it's great. Operation-wise....not so much. It hinders getting into and out of certain gears, and there's been several times where I thought I was in reverse, and the lever was in the reverse slot on the shift gate....but I wasn't in reverse. With the boot, that never happened. Probably a good reason why the car came with a boot and not a flashy Ferrari-style shift gate.

I have one I do not use anymore either.
Becasue they are no longer available I do not know if I should sell it or not;
But what is it worth?

This thing is thick and heavy. Very solid. The stick is not hard to put in the slots, but I think that an aluminum version will be a bit too light. I heard that you can adjust the the stick so it goes smoother into the slots.
You can make it yourself in aluminum, but than you miss the rubber booth underneath.
An advantage is that an aluminum version you can coat black, which I think is better than the brushed stainless.

Willing to sell it?? I had sent you a message that I want it, but didn't get a response.

Thank you,
