Aftermarket Automatic Shift *****

Are there any Aftermarket Automatic shift **** that works for are cars? For the last few years there already was an aftermarket automatic shift **** in my car. It felt cheap and was kind of crappy. Recently the button exploded and the spring got damaged so I haven't been using it.

I ordered a B&M T handle universal shift **** but sadly it does not fit on our cars. Are there any that do?

Hawk's makes an adapter that allows you to use one like the T-handle you purchased on our cars last I looked

I'm looking now and haven't found anything yet. Do you remember what it was called by any chance?

Edit: Is this it?

You can use the T-handle shift **** from a 3rd Gen Firebird too. Doesn't require any adapter, put one on my son's Camaro.

Re: Aftermarket Automatic Shift *****


I just disabled the spring that pushes up on the plastic rod which is what your button actuates. With the spring disabled you simply push that plastic rod down then secure your normal aftermarket **** in place. I apologize in advance if you were thinking of something different.
