this is the original setup. i read somewhere in the past couple months that you can install one from another make of car but can't remember what it was. i will look and see if i can find the thread on it. it may have been on oldsjetfire.com or maybe Joe P knows.

sorry, i meant to say one for under the hood from a differant make. it is a close fit to make something work. is your car a manual or automatic? if it is manual, you can't put one under the dash like original.
