hey guys i am wanting to do away with my stock radio controlled steering wheel because the leather is torn off and in bad shape and i recently purchased a kenwood unit so the controls are useless now... my question is which grant steering wheel is a complete bolt on to an 88 trans am gta steering wheel. or any nice black leather wheel for under 100 for that matter.... im tired of looking at my worn out steering wheel.... thanks...

was it a straight up a bolt in thing... do you need to buy anything for a grant wheel to fit...... it looks nice... im just tired of looking at my beat up wheel.... and how would you get the horn to work..... ive never swapped steering wheels before and want to install one next week....

hurd85ta

Yes just bolt in. You may need to buy and instalation kit (from summit its about $17), with the instalation kit you get a new wire to conect the horn. I metioned before you need a steering wheel puller, you need this tool to get the original wheel off. Are you considering buying from summitracing.com?

i might get one at auto zone...... but im not sure if you need extra accessories or not

You need a steering wheel puller and an installation adapter kit from Grant to do the job. It's pretty easy and doesn't take all that long to do.

ok i found the grant wheel i want... its the grant 773 wheel... and i know i need the install kit.... i have a wheel puller... my last question is how do i get my horn working if my car came stock with the radio button steering wheel...

hurd85ta

I didn't have a steering wheel with radio controls. When i had the wheel off you need to diconnect a short wire for the horn. Like i said i never a had deal with radio controls. The installation adapter kit comes with a new wire to attach to the new wheel. i would think the horn wire would be separate from the radio controls.

Doing this wheel change is much, much easier than it seems.

Black_Knight

Yeah that was my experience as well. I didn't have radio controls either.

yea i know.. just had to make sure..... also the new wheel im getting is an inch smaller in diameter... i think the stock wheel is too big and fat looking anyway....
