need some information
 

Can anyone do me a huge favor and lift the leather shifter boot cover and take a picture of what theirs looks like underneath? I'm thinking either my interior came from an automatic or that my car is a full automatic to manual conversion. It looks like the automatic shifter slot underneath my leather boot.

Not that I care because it was obviously done right but I'd like to know for sure and be done questioning myself about it.

Thanks.

what year and model is your car?

Early 86 928s

hey i don't want to jack your thread but since i saw this i thought i'd ask - i bought an 84 928s automatic about a year ago - it was part of a package deal with a 79 928 5 speed and a 83 944 - anyway the PO told me he was planning on swapping the trans and related 5 speed gear out of the 79 and turning the 84s into a 5 speed - i have all 5 speed parts out of the 79 (pedals, flywheel, dual clutch disks , torque tube) - is this possible - i've had the car in storage since buying it but next month it's coming home so i can start working on it - thanks

the early car also has an early 5 speed so you would also need to use the early rear subframe and TT you will probably need a 83 tach however.

IIRC when I swapped trannies the early subframe is was the same as the auto

^^ that should help.

I've got an 86 5 spd apart in the garage, looking for the camera, will post if/when I find it.

These are the parts for the shift console.

Design and materials don't stand up to service very well.

So its a prime candidate for botched repair and hybridization of spare parts to make something that looks right, especially for selling a car.

For that reason, thinking your car is an auto / 5 spd conversion after finding an auto trans console insert beneath the boot is quite a leap.
