    slapstick 1970 vs 1971
    « on: June 13, 2015 - 06:42:02 PM »
    Hi
    I'm thinking about putting a slapstick shifter in my  1970 Challenger.
    When I'm looking at ebay I realised it´s a 1970 version and a 1971-1974 version.
    What´s the differencen between them ?
    When I bought this car back in1982 it was slapshift in it but a changed it to a 4-speed then and then back to automatic with aftermarket shifter.
    So it´s not because I want original setup .

    Anyone that has som picture of something that show the difference or can explain it to ?

    1970 used a ball shifter.
    1971-73 used a "T" handle shifter
    1974 used a ball shifter.

    So it's just the shifterknob that's differtent then.
    If I want a pistol grip does that fit any modell ?
    And how does the "reverse knob" work on that version ?

    The whole shifter is totally different between the ball & T handle but both will bolt in & work just fine you just need a complete matching assy
     Pistol grip are all aftermarket . Steve / Quapman on this site sells the best one IMO , it has a trigger for reverse & leans forward like the 4 spd , some are straight which are uncomfotable in 1st gear & some you have to lift the whole handle for the detent override
