Tilt column

Is the lever on a tilt column where the backdrive rod for an automatic trans, or reverse arm on a 4 spd  connect, the same for auto or manual or are they different. I think they are different but not sure.

John, I just bought the column from Mike B, he said that his car was a manual and I re-installed it in my automatic floor shift with no problem so I think they are the same. Maybe someone else can confirm.

They are in fact different.  The automatic arm is longer then the manual arm.  However, as John stated above, I have used an automatic column in a manual car and the rod worked fine.

I'm not really sure why they are different

Thank you for the pictures you can clearly see the difference. Yes that is it. My standard column looks like your first picture. Have not bought a column yet, but there are more automatic tilt columns available than 4 speeds. It may work, I don't know for sure. If not I have a wire feed and a torch I'm confident I could make it work with some mild fabrication.

I have a few 4 speed floor shift straight columns but no tilt. Definitely a difference but doesn't really matter.

I also have some FS Tilts when you get ready for one.  Some of the other GM interchangeable columns have a more 4 speed like Arm but longer. Ex.. 2nd gen Camaro. Still rare in tilt although all were floor shift
