Good by uncomfortable t-handle. Hello comfy round grip from a Grand Prix.

...which raises the question... why does he only have one (pant)?... And why are 'pants' sold in pairs?

No access switch. Only has the button on the front and that's it. It's soooo much better than the T-handle.

Direct replacement. Any GM car with a floor shift auto will have a shift **** that will work.
The extra button on yours may be for a manual overdrive.
