The 1967 Camaro/Firebird and 1968-1974 Nova automatic transmission 2-piece console shift plate is a component of the center console assembly designed for vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. Here are some key points about this part:
Purpose: The console shift plate serves as the interface for the automatic transmission shifter, providing a mounting point for the shifter mechanism and indicating the gear selection to the driver.
Compatibility: This 2-piece shift plate is specifically designed for use in 1967 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, as well as 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova models equipped with automatic transmissions. It's crucial to ensure compatibility with the specific make, model, and year of your vehicle before purchasing.
Material and Construction: Shift plates are typically constructed from durable materials such as plastic, metal, or fiberglass, chosen for their strength and resistance to wear and tear. They are designed to withstand the repetitive movements and pressures associated with operating the transmission shifter.
Functionality: The shift plate consists of two pieces: the main plate that houses the shifter mechanism and the indicator plate that displays the gear positions (e.g., Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive). The two pieces may be joined together using screws, bolts, or clips.
Appearance: Shift plates are often finished to match the interior color and trim of the vehicle, providing a cohesive look when installed in the center console assembly. They may feature embossed or engraved gear indicators and other design elements to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the interior.
Installation: Installing the 2-piece shift plate typically involves attaching it to the center console assembly using screws, bolts, or clips. Proper alignment and fitment are crucial to ensure that the shifter operates smoothly and that the gear positions are accurately indicated.
