89cadillac09

NO.: 89-I-35
DATE: July, 1989
GROUP: 7
CORP. NO.: 917103
SUBJECT: TRANSMISSION CONTROL LEVER (SHIFTER) EFFORT FOR SEVILLES, ELDORADOS, AND ALLANTES


Some owners of 1986-1989 Eldorados and Sevilles, and 1987-1989 Allantes (e.g., customers afflicted with arthritis) may experience difficulty operating the production transmission control lever (shifter) due to the thumb effort required. In some cases the customer may prefer replacement of the production shifter knob with one of an alternate design that requires a downward palm effort rather than a thumb effort. The shifter knob from the Buick Riviera is compatible with the above models; and the vehicle may be modified, if the customer requests, by substituting this knob for the production control lever if required to accommodate the physical limitations of the owner.
