Here are some photos of the Speco shifter.
I haven't cleaned it, although the wooden knob and chrome shaft would just require a polish up. The bottom locating plate just has a layer of dust stuck to some lubrication grease, just needs a little degreaser.
There is a gate and spring that requires effort to push accross to R or 1 (just like on the column) and makes the shifter pop into nuetral after disengaging 1st.
It then allows for easy shifting between 2nd and 3rd without worrying about all the linkage problems.
All the bushes and linkages look in good condition. I very much doubt it has been used in the last 15-20 years.
These items are fairly rare these days, and hard to come by in good condition.
I believe it suits FX - EJ crash boxes.
I'd like
$125.
