    Hey Brandon,

    Good luck finding what you need! A manual transmission in a Lebaron is pretty rare. If you find one, PLEASE let me know....I need parts too!!

    Thanks, Josephine

    What transmission are you planning on using, that will dictate what parts you need.

    I do have 555 and 568 shifters, the 568 is a shorty or regular. I believe I have 555 cables too.

    Can I ship out next year, hehehehehe,

    Im using a 520 because it's what I have. Would prefer a 555 or 568, but I am not wealthy enough to to for a tranny plus shipping!

    So Simon, a standard 555 shifter and cables would be awesome!

    Just asking at 523/568 go together and 520/555 go together,

    I'll have a look today and see if I have cables.

    Yeah, I can see how it would be. Let me think about it, and ponder other possibilities. Thanks for your reply!

    The console is the same in an automatic car, it's just the bezel that's different. The correct black 89 GTC 5spd bezel is very hard to find, but not impossible. When I first swapped my car I used the automatic bezel and modified it to work untill I was able to find the correct one.

    No, the convertible uses a different console than a coupe, which is the same as a Daytona.

    Here is a picture of the 5spd bezel in my old 88 Lebaron premium, and one of the console in my old 89 GTC.



    Here is a picture of the console in my Laser to show the differences.

    The one in the maroon 88 is from a 2000 Audi S4, and the one in my Laser is from a 2000ish VW Passat. The S4 boot has a smaller hole perfect for 90+, where the one from the Passat just fits over the pull ring on the early shifter cars. It has the added benefit of making the shifter rod appear thicker. Both shifters are shortened.

    Thanks for the pictures! So, Lebaron coupes and verts share the same size, just diff colors?
    And the auto bezel swaps right out for 5spd one?

    I LOVE the 80's style accordion boots!

    No, the coupe console is the same as a Daytona, but the vert console is unique. Yes, the auto bezel can be removed and replaced with the 5spd bezel. The car in the picture with tan interior was an automatic, and I swapped it to a 5spd.

    But if I already have an auto console in my gtc vert, I don't need to change the console? Just the bezel? I was under the impression the entire console was different between manual/auto.

    So to clarify, I specifically need a 5spd convertible bezel?
