T-Handle Shift **** (Hurst) Has anyone removed the stock T handle on 98-02 F bodies and replaces it with a Hurst t-bar shifter? I know the button mechanism on the side is there but didnt find any other t handles with that...any suggestions. I like the Hurst polished t handle.
those are the worst design possible for a manual shifter, but work okay for automatics. Why are they crap for 6-speeds? Because to be a fast shifter when racing, your hand position has to change each time to get the most accurate/quick shift. That handle sucks for this.

To get an aftermarket **** to work with the stock shifter you need to pick up an adapter.
You'll see what I'm talking about in this link: http://www.01pewterz28.cz28.com/shifter.html
The Hurst and the traditional B&M T-handles will work with the adapter.
The B&M Hammer T-handle **** WILL NOT fit the adapter.
Believe me, I tried 4 different ***** from 4 different places, none fit. And the **** was advertised for the exact thread the adapter was.
The only T-handle I liked was the Hammer, ultimately I wound up picking up a MBA ****.

So no one has put on a hurst or B&M t handle to replace the stock A4 T-handle? See my release button it on the side of the t-handle not the top, have a 2000 T/A WS6. I'll keep looking, someone has had to do it..

The T-handle in the M6 cars is a cool retro look, but as far as function, I prefer a different handle as a few others have said. For me, its the Pistol Grip.

You are not able to use any T-handle (that has to be threaded on) with the stock shifter without that an adapter.
Whether your button is on the side or on the top (like a Camaro) you will need that adapter.
Both of the shifters between f-bods are the same.

Instead of pushing your button in on the side of the stock ****, you push down on the aftermarket one.
