any idea where I could get a gear knob/stick like this from, am slowly redoing my Classic Range Rover interior up and want to change the nasty BL stick I have at the moment, any thoughts?

Have you tried the `factory?`

It's a standard Chrysler Torqueflite gearknob and gearstick from the late '60s / '70s. So American specialists or any of the Jensen specialists that break Jensens.

May take a bit of work to fit the Range Rover though.

The gear shift for the Mark II Interceptor is a good shiny knob.

Try Martin Robey or Rejen.

The photo in the opening post is definately not a standard torqueflite console shift. This however is:



Stock ones are not threaded on. Instead, they are locked in place by a grub screw. However, companies such as Lokar have a very similar one to that in the photo.

Sorry mate, you're wrong. There were quite a few different 'standard' Torqueflite gearshifts, the original pic is one of them, the pic you've shown is one of them, and lots didn't have gearshifts on the console or transmission tunnel at all, but push-buttons on the dash. That was standard equipment for the models that they were fitted to.

Which Chrysler vehicle had that fitted as stock?

Anyone know how the pushbutton autos worked? Solenoids?? It's like a prehistoric paddle-shift. Would have to be careful when selecting Radio 1 on the pushbutton radio.

Note, 2-speed gearbox - Powerglide?, although I thought they were Chevy and Vauxhall Cresta / Viscounts.
I think the pic may be of a late 50s Plymouth Belvedere (Christine) but could be wrong, just a guess. It's from that era though. Great pic, thx for post - look at that speedo . .

Edit, not sure if middle button's a P or a D. If it's a D then we're really going places. A V8 with a 2-speed box probably not very economical.

1, 2 and Drive - a three-speed Torqueflite.

The push buttons are not electric, it is a mechanical device that actuates a cable down to the box.

I think the 'Park' position uses a different cable on the earlier boxes, as the park device is at the very end of the box (propshaft-end) but later boxes engage park from the main cable.

It is the standard Torquefilte gearknob, my 1967 Plymouth Barracuda had the same.
