Default Help finding a shifter for 1998 TA

Hi,

Just bought a 1998 TA with 4L60E and hate the factory shifter. What is available for these?

Thanks for any responses.

I put a B&M megashifter in mine. It will work with od chevy transmissions. You just have to do a little fab work to get the brackets on the trans to fit and shift right. I just swapped the auto portion of the center console for a six speed and then put a zip tie from the leather boot into a groove on the shifter handle and it looks factory. Execpt for the line lock button.
