Not sure if this has been discussed but specifically what did the hemi dart/cuda run for 4 speeds. I know it was an 18 spline 833 with steel bellhousing and that the transmission was "slick shifted", but what shifter mechanism, shifter handle ect was used. I have the correct reverse lock out, but was wondering what shifter handle, ect I need if I put this car together? I called Brewers but they really didn't know what was correct back in the day. And also where would one obtain the correct mechanism, handle, ect.? Thanks in advance for your input.

Yes, they were welded not bolt on handles. Jamie from Passon knows a guy who has one. He asked for me and his friend was not willing to sell. There is a very close equivalent Hurst handle available in the aftermarket.
Thanks for the reply. I am in communication with Jamie.

As for this Shifter and the Reverse Loc-Out, I have several of them, but the shifter handles need to be replated. If this turns out nicely and dosen´t cost a fortune, I will try sell a few of them complete including the Reverse Loc-Out.
If you than get a SS mounting plate from davescuda, you can skip the rubber boot and have a really nice looking hump there between the seats. It will likely be as close to the originals as one can get...

SSing, I may be interested in a handle alone if it is correct and can be swapped out somehow to the normal bolt on style.

Yes tribe_of_dan,
I think the handle together with the so called Stick Bottom Assembly is the way to do this, since it apparently is very hard to dissemble this part due to the springs in there...
I´ll be back once I get the parts and can take some pics.
Thank you

I bought the correct handle on Amazon last year. If you look in Jim Schild's book it gives the part number of the handle, and that part number is still valid today. I believe it was $89.
That is the replacement handle. They do not make the original one. The original one is one piece.

This is not how I´m interpreting the section of the 4-speed trans.
It says handle is welded, and then plated. Housing has black finish.
Also in the Guide there is a PN for a complete Manual Trans Shifter.
First picture is from Castaldo´s Dart. It also show handle is straight, not of set like the recommended replacement handle is. (in the Guide)
Second pic is actually from the Guide.
3 is one of the shifters I have. It´s a comparison of mine, and the original and how HURST is placed on the handle. On the Handle you can find at Hurst today. Hurst is closer to the knob.
Last is recommended replacement shifter #836

Would it be possible for you to check with this guy, what size thread for the knob this original shifter has?
Would be really interesting to know.
Thank you
