Jason, Volunteer Vette Products in Knoxville Tennessee use to rebuild Muncie shifters. They did a shifter for me but that was 20+ years ago. Not sure if they still do it. I believe they are the manufacturer of the Muncie repro shifters for Vettes. I just put one of their repro Muncie shifters in a 65 Vette that I bought. Works flawlessly. Go here www.volvette.com. The problem with the Muncie shifter in a Chevelle, as previously mentioned, is the shifter is not attached directly to the transmission but rather to a bracket attached to the cross member. Lots of potential problems here especially if the shifter is already worn out. At the end of the day a Muncie shifter is still a Muncie shifter. You can only improve on these things but so much. My advice FWIW would be to put a Hurst in it and obtain the adapter that is available to use the stock Chevelle lever. Good luck to your friend.
Dave
