AdamsTC Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I have read many articles about the TC and they all mention real burled wood trim. However, at least the '91 I have is definitely plastic. Were there any that were real wood or are the writers just pulling this information from specs that never actually went into production?

My 1990 like yours, has does not have 'real wood', but plastic also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Blodgett Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 My 91 is also plastic, I don't believe they ever used burled wood in any of the TC"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Dude Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The shifter knob on the TCs equipped with the Getrag 5 speed were real burled wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinflys Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Yes I would say the extent of the burl wood in my 1990 is the shifter for the automatic. It is indeed wood. Plastic abounds elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Dude Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 And the shift knob on the 16V 5 speed shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams TC asked a question and I answered it. Between this and your boorish message to me because I dared post a sales ad for my two service manuals, you really have a chip on your shoulder. Is it because I'm a GIRL???? 🙄 People like you are what ruin car clubs. Edited March 31, 2022 by car_chick (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Kane Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Check out the Shelby Dodge Auto Club! Good people in that club and fair treatment. Also many female members there. They appreciate the TC’s too many of their members own TC’s including myself. I will be at their convention this year in Detroit MI. Check out their Facebook page. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Dude Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 So everyone, what’s the problem? Everything is plastic except the 5 speed shift knob! Do you all have a problem with that? Those of us who have owned TCs for decades know it and don’t have a problem with it. Now you newbies are crying about it 32 years after the car went out of production?

Mark_Blodgett Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The question was. "he read the car had burl wood amenities" . Wrong ! only the shifter on the 89 Getrag 5 speed had a burbled wood shifter. This has been discussed at TC meetings in the past 30 years since I have been a member. The rest was burbled like plastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That offer to her is very kind of you. She should take you up on that offer so you could explain the Burled Wood trim in the TC a little further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
