I'm thinking that I saw a picture of an Automatic with a pistol grip.
Could it be or was it just a dream :dontknow:

Sorry to hear about your condition (CMS)

Did you post a picture of it ?

How much was involved in the change?

I had it saved on CD, so i had to dig it out....it was easy, about a 10 minute job if that. If no-one else responds, i'll go back thru my old receipts and find the vendor info for you.

E-mail Harms and talk to Scott...These are great Shifters with the realistic angle forward...that really makes the car look like a four speed from the passengers view.  I have one in my car....need to shoot a pic.

"Tilt" is there name.

Maybe you could sell your Trigger Grip on eBay? You won't profit but at least it will help go towards a new Tilt Pistol Grip.  ;)
No trigger just give the shifter a decent push down then up/down to engage gear.  8)
You can have any style you wan't. Want more height? No worries, more tilt? No worries.  ;)


Good prices, mine cost $275.00 - not including shipping.


I too delt with Scott Smith.  ;)

Wow, those are great, how bout on a column shift? AWESOME!!! Can you just see it now? LOL Someone has probably tried it!! I used an old Milk dispenser weight, remember in the cafe when you use to get milk they had a big ole stainless knob, about 3" in diamater that acted as a weight on a lever to pinch the milk tube shut? I had it on a 4 speed on the floor in a 58 Cheby, you could just throw the thing and it would carry itself into the next gear!! LOL High school daze.  :tongue:

I got my pistol grip automatic shifter from a company called Auto Grip.   I am pleased with it.    In fact, this shifter is stronger than the factory plastic T-handle.
