89-91 shift **** on 86-88 shifter

Does anyone know how, or if the shift **** from an 89-91 will fit on an 86-88 model shifter?? If it fits at all, would it give it the look of the 89-91, or woult it just stick out a foot from the transmission, Thanks.

Unless the **** is bigger around than the shifter, thus sliding over it to make it look taller, I would imagine you would need the 89-91 shifter if it wasnt like that. But RB sells a short shifter that fits 86-91, so I guess the 89-91 stock one would work.

I had to force an 89+ shift know on my 88 shifter. The threads were a different size.
