Hahah... I think you actually said SH1T instead of SHIFT.
I think I've seen a leather T-shift knob before, I might even have had one on my Fiero before... but I wasn't aware they actually came with the Fiero. But I guess they do? Were there any other GM cars that used the same automatic shift knob as we have?
Ok, I just did some eBay snooping... looks like our same T-handle shift knob was also used on the 82-02 Firebird / Camaro, and even the earlier Saturn vehicles. I was always under the impression that the leather ones came from the later Firebirds.

There were a quite a few gm cars with that shifter, my dad's 1989 Cutlass Ciera had it, his 93 grand prix has a newer version of it I think.

Had one in my SSEI and in the Fiero I never hit the Controls. Easy swap.

this 84 fiero and 95 grand prix knob both seem to be a little taller than normal, the grand prix knob was a half inch taller than normal in its grand prix anyways as for this 84? its been a weird child needing extremely weird early parts and missing certain things it should have

I used a shift knob from an IROC-Z and did so on 3 of my Fieros. They still sell them on JEGS.
