- Shifter position must align with the center-console opening
- Transmission-tunnel modifications may affect fitment

Designed for Six-Speed Conversions
The 1990-1992 Camaro was not originally equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. Part #9092MSP-6SPD is a conversion component designed to give an upgraded drivetrain a more complete, factory-style appearance inside the original Camaro center console.
It is suitable for projects such as:
- T56 six-speed conversions
- TR6060 six-speed conversions
- LS-powered third-generation Camaro builds
- Modern manual-transmission swaps
- Street-performance restomods
- Track-oriented Camaro projects
- Replacement of a cut or modified original console plate
- Conversion from an original automatic or five-speed configuration
The shifter plate does not determine transmission placement. The engine, bellhousing, transmission, crossmember, shifter and transmission tunnel must position the shift lever correctly within the console opening.
T56 and TR6060 Compatibility
This plate is designed for compatible T56 and TR6060 six-speed conversion applications. Those transmission families were manufactured in several configurations, so shifter location can vary.
Factors affecting the final shifter position include:
- Transmission model and application
- Tailhousing configuration
- Direct-mount or remote shifter design
- Engine placement
- Bellhousing selection
- Transmission crossmember
- Transmission-tunnel modifications
- Aftermarket shifter assembly
- Shift-lever shape and offset
Complete the major drivetrain-positioning work and verify the final shifter location before permanently modifying the console or installing the plate.
Correct Yellow Shift-Pattern Lettering
The yellow six-speed shift pattern is designed to coordinate with the console lettering used in 1990-1992 Camaro interiors.
Although the plate can physically fit compatible earlier third-generation Camaro consoles, the lettering color determines the appearance it reproduces:
- 1982-1989 Camaro six-speed conversion: White-text #8289MSP-6SPD
- 1990-1992 Camaro six-speed conversion: Yellow-text #9092MSP-6SPD
Installing this plate in an earlier Camaro will produce a later-model yellow-text appearance.
Complete Shifter Plate Versus Pattern Overlay
This product is a complete reproduction shifter-plate assembly with a six-speed pattern, installed soft vinyl boot and installed ashtray lid.
It differs from a shift-pattern overlay, which only covers the pattern area of an existing plate. An overlay does not replace a cracked plate, damaged ashtray lid or worn shift boot.
Choose the complete #9092MSP-6SPD assembly when the existing plate or attached components are missing, damaged, modified or unsuitable for reuse.

Restores a Finished Console Appearance
Six-speed conversions can leave the center console looking unfinished when the original five-speed plate has been cut, modified or fitted with a damaged boot.
Part #9092MSP-6SPD is suitable for:
- Replacing a cracked or broken shifter plate
- Eliminating an incorrect five-speed shift pattern
- Finishing a T56 conversion
- Finishing a TR6060 conversion
- Completing an LS-powered Camaro restomod
- Replacing a torn, hardened or missing shift boot
- Replacing a damaged or missing ashtray lid
- Creating an OEM-plus six-speed console appearance
- Completing a street, show or track-oriented Camaro build
Soft Vinyl Shift Boot
The installed shift boot is manufactured from soft vinyl. Its flexible construction allows the boot to move with the shift lever while helping conceal the center-console opening.
Before completing installation, move the shifter through all six forward gears and reverse. Confirm that the boot does not stretch excessively, pull the plate out of position or interfere with complete gear engagement.
A boot that becomes tight in one or more positions may indicate that the shift lever is not correctly positioned within the console opening.
Ashtray Fitment Notes
The ashtray lid is installed, but the original removable ashtray insert must be transferred from the vehicle.
Test-fit the insert and lid before completing installation. The ashtray tabs may require slight adjustment so the insert and lid sit evenly with the top of the plate.
Make small adjustments and check the fit frequently. Do not force the ashtray lid closed.
Installation Notes
Complete the major drivetrain-positioning work before installing the shifter plate.
Before final installation:
- Confirm the final engine and transmission position.
- Verify that the shift lever is properly located in the console opening.
- Move the transmission through all six forward gears and reverse.
- Check shift-lever clearance around the plate and console.
- Confirm that the soft vinyl boot does not pull excessively in any position.
- Compare the replacement plate with the existing console opening.
- Transfer and test-fit the removable ashtray insert.
- Adjust the ashtray tabs slightly if necessary.
- Confirm that the ashtray lid opens and closes without binding.
- Verify that the plate sits evenly against the console.
Transmission conversions may require additional fabrication or adjustment. Do not use the shifter plate to force an incorrectly positioned shift lever into alignment.
Do not overtighten the plate’s attachment points. Excessive pressure can crack or distort molded interior components.
Care and Cleaning
Clean the molded plate and soft vinyl boot with a microfiber cloth and an automotive interior cleaner approved for plastic and vinyl surfaces.
Avoid harsh solvents, abrasive pads and aggressive scrubbing around the yellow shift-pattern lettering. Do not saturate the boot seams or allow cleaner to collect around the plate opening.
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles fit Hawks Restoration Parts #9092MSP-6SPD?
It is designed primarily for 1990, 1991 and 1992 Chevrolet Camaro six-speed conversion projects using a compatible original-style center console and properly positioned shifter.
Is this an original factory Camaro part?
No. It is a new reproduction conversion component modeled after the original Camaro five-speed shifter plate and updated with a six-speed pattern.
Did the 1990-1992 Camaro originally have a six-speed transmission?
No. The six-speed application represents a transmission conversion rather than an original factory configuration.
Is this plate designed for a T56 swap?
Yes. It is designed for compatible T56 six-speed conversion applications.
Will it work with a TR6060 transmission?
It is designed for compatible TR6060 conversions, but shifter position varies among transmission and swap configurations. Verify the final shifter location before installation.
Does this plate guarantee that my T56 or TR6060 will fit?
No. The plate finishes the center-console area but does not position the transmission or shifter. The drivetrain must be correctly installed and aligned first.
Is this suitable for an LS-swapped Camaro?
Yes. It is intended for LS-powered and other six-speed Camaro conversion projects when the shift lever aligns with the compatible center-console opening.
What color is the shift-pattern lettering?
The six-speed shift pattern uses yellow lettering appropriate for a 1990-1992 Camaro interior.

Yes. The soft vinyl shift boot is installed in the shifter plate.

Yes. The ashtray lid is installed.
Is the removable ashtray insert included?
No. The original removable ashtray insert must be transferred from the vehicle.
Does this plate fit a 1982-1989 Camaro?

The plate fits the compatible console location but displays a six-speed pattern. It should be used after the vehicle has been converted to a six-speed transmission.
Will it fit an automatic Camaro?
It is not intended for an automatic-transmission configuration. The vehicle must have a complete manual-transmission conversion with a compatible console and properly positioned shift lever.
