Default 1970 Nova TH400 floor shifter

My Nova has the original floor shifter for the TH400 and is worn out. I was told that the 1968 Camaro used the same shifter. I either need a repro shifter or mine rebuilt. Any suggestions?

Please call them before you buy - discuss your exact needs - just to make sure.

Just listed a very nice one that needs nothing and it is a GM piece.

The good old 'Houdini' shifter! Back in the day my friend Rick had a 70 Nova L78 T400 with buckets console and that shifter. He would pull it down into low gear and floor it and when it hit the max 1-2 shift point the trans would shift into 2nd gear and the shifter would move itself into the 2nd gear position without anyone touching it. We all called it 'Houdini'.....great memory!
