    but you mean the transition boxes... 90-91 more specifically.
    Yes, the transition boxes. They shared this design with the aeros, and possibly, the whales as well.

      I love all of this terminology that was made up. I mean this in a non-joking way.

                  I wonder how hard it is to modify from the strap to the thumb wheel setup.

                    '85 ghetto fix

                    no pix, but i removed the steering column from my CP this evening and sure enough the little bracket which holds the cable housing was cracked, allowing it to move when the shifter was engaged...

                    so i took a zip tie up & over the shifter rod and around the bracket, pulled it tight so that it wouldn't spin.

                    pleased to say it worked (at least for now).
