Spicer 10 speed shifter help - thanks!!!

hi all,

i have a 1996 International 8100. the truck has the Spicer 10 speed (high / low). the shifter works fine (fortunately) but the rubber handle is falling apart and i want to replace it. i called the dealer and the replacement shifter lists at $900+!!!

i've looked at the local junkyard (Illiana Truck Parts, an awesome place) and found hundreds of Fuller shifters but nothing that matched my Spicer. I've looked on eBay, etc. no luck.

is there something really special about these Spicer shifters? it seems to me that it's a normal air shifter with the typical high/low. only thing that seems odd about it is that there are four lines (three air lines and the exhaust). any recommendations on a generic shifter that would fit? i found some Dorman models online but it seems like they are set up for the Eaton models and only have three threaded ports (including the exhaust).

any help would be appreciated with this, thank you!

yeah, i wouldn't mind original or aftermarket but i can't seem to find a reasonably priced option of the OEM and i'm not seeing an aftermarket that will work.

here's a pic

thanks!

Thanks for that! I located some NOS shifters that will probably work but they are $900! I'm not paying 10% of the value of the truck for a shift knob, that's insane.

I don't know too much about these shift knobs (which might explain why I'm thinking there's a work around somehow) but is it possible that I can somehow adapt an Eaton shift knob to work on this truck?

I'm attaching a pic with the plumbing diagram on my shifter and here's a link to an Eaton catalog with lots of shifter options. Does anybody out there understand these enough to figure out a way to plumb an Eaton shifter into my Spicer transmission? Admittedly, I don't know too much about these but it can't be that the only solution is to drop $900!

I would appreciate any help. Thanks all!
