    T Style or Wood Ball Style Slap Stik?
    « on: December 23, 2005 - 11:31:08 AM »
    Ran across this site doing a web search; and own (no surprise) a '72 stock original 1 owner Challenger w/48,000 miles. Will post pics soon (weather permitting). My first car was a '73 'cuda and 25 years later...meet the new car..same as the old car....Anyway, here goes with my first question:

    I've noticed that Slap Stiks can have either the "T" style shifter or the wood "knob" style shifter. What determined the style that was delivered on a certain Challenger or Cuda? I've seen the wood style knob shifter throughout the 70-74 lineup of e bodys, however it seems at least 90% have the T style.

    Thanks in advance!

    Round wood ball style shifter was 1970 only in all e-body automatics.
    T-style shifter came in 71-74 in all e-body automatics.
    They used a longer version of the round wood ball style shifter later on in some large mopars.

     :iagree:  I've seen the round wood ball on different years but from the factory I believe it's only the '70 model year E-bodies that came from the factory from with the round wood knob.  '71-'74=T-handle for AT.

    BTW, welcome!  :wave:  If you like you can go to the "Newbie" section and introduce yourself, maybe post some pics of your car if you like!

    That is right the round ball was only used on 70 E-body Cuda and Challenger models with T slap stick handle used on all 71-74 Challenger and Barracuda models. Welcome to the site 72 challenger. I can't wait to see pictures and please give us more information on your car.
