Hi boynuz
The picture below is the correct shifter for the GTR/XU-1 M20 or M21 Aussie 4 speed.
It does not fit the Opel 4 speed that was fitted to the majority of LCs. I understand that from mid 1971 LCs were fitted M20 or M21 Aussie 4 speeds.

Hi boynuz
The one in the picture is used. I cleaned it up and had the stick re-chromed. Rare Spares have a repro one - but they are about $400.
Used ones come up on eBay from time to time and go for around $150 - $180.
If you are not worried about originality almost any Aussie 4 speed shifters will fit eg LH or LX. Most other sticks are straight and sometimes hit the handbrake lever. I never found it to be a problem though, I only got this one for originality.
Try posting in the Wanted section of these forums that's where I got mine.

Did they still use exactly the same center console and boot as used with the opel shifter with no fouling problems?I understand that from mid 1971 LCs were fitted M20 or M21 Aussie 4 speeds.

Hi smeer
As I recall the LC (Opel) console has an offset hole and a different boot and trim. I think you can convert an LJ to LC but not vice versa, because of the offset hole goes into the trim area.

yeah,
I just did some browsing, apparently the LC's that came with the aussie box were the 179 model. They also came with an LJ console with a 4 speed gear knob.
can anyone confirm?

I think you mean 173
Re Console:
LC owners might argue that LJs came out with late model LC consoles
