    T handle swap?
    « on: October 15, 2004 - 05:26:34 AM »
    I have a 70 Challenger with the woodgrain type ball for the shifter.  I would like to change this to the later style T-handle.

    Has anyone done this?  Is it a simple swap, or does the linkage / mechanism need to be changed?

    Thanks

    Robb,

    These look somewhat interesting, but $275 is WAY over what I want to spend!
