Talking newbe

Have a '86 cutlass supreme with a floor shifter and was wondering if the plunger for shifter is bolted down or just in there so I can replace it because tip broke off so shift **** won't fit (factory ****)properly, any help is appreciated. .....

Pictures would help a lot! If memory serves that mine broke above the horse shoe clip.

Again, If memory serves, pull the horseshoe clip, remove broken pieces. Replace the plunger and new T-handle shove down on handle till the grove shows in the clip opening and replace the clip.

Do you have a new handle? If not here is a link. FYI I have a NOS burgundy one floating around here somewhere.

I have the original shifter it's jus that the inside where it holds it in place is broken on the inside,I just have the plunger sticking like a sore thumb....so to replace plunger just pull up on it correct, also is there a way to repair the inside of shifter. ....once again thanks for all the help.

If you should need to purchase another shifter, I have a few spares available... I also stock NOS handles and spare parts for the handle, However, no spare parts for the shifter itself...
