Simple question. Can I use a 88 up square auto shift **** in 86 Iroc

May need to get a replacement for one of my Irocs and don't mind the newer style in one If I must. Can I use a square auto shift **** found in the later cars in place of the factory round one?

You hating on that pool ball size **** too? It will work. I changed to the firebird T handle. Way more comfortable.

The earlier round **** ('82-'83 I think) can be made to work also. Just needs some filing and the matching button.
