I haven't heard anyone refer to a slap shifter in a long time. Now they are generally called ratchet shifters. Yes they work, yes I like them. Look them up at Summit.

I put a B&M console megashifter in mine and it is great. The top plate for the console matches the other interior pieces of the car perfectly. As an added bonus, my wife won't drive the car now because she doesn't like the shifter! But it really is a huge improvement over stock.
